A corporation that sold individual body parts from unborn babies killed by abortion, for $765 each, insists that its billing reflect that it was charging for “procurement services,” not actual taxable “items.”
“The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop,” charged Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel.
His organization long has worked with the CMP, defending one of its original reporters, Sandra Merritt, from a multitude of cases brought by pro-abortion interests after the center revealed, through undercover videos, the abortion industry’s profit motive.
One abortionist talked, on video, about raising the price of baby body parts being delivered mostly to researchers because “I want a Lamborghini.”
CMP now has obtained public records showing the fetal organ-harvesting corporation called Cercle Allocation Services billed a UCLA research lab $765 for each body part.
“Peer-reviewed research confirms that Cercle, which has previously harvested organs under the name Advanced Bioscience Research, has been a source of human fetal tissue for researchers. ABR and its partners at Planned Parenthood were the subject of congressional criminal referrals in 2016 prompted by CMP’s undercover video reporting in 2015 by David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt who exposed Planned Parenthood’s aborted baby body parts trade,” Liberty Counsel reported.
The legal team defended Merritt against felony charges and in a civil suit for uncovering the truth about the abortion giant’s horrific trade in baby body parts.
The report said CMP got the documents through a California Public Records request, and they show “purchase orders and email correspondence between Cercle and UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine’s Division of Hematology-Oncology.”
There was a total of $16,065 paid to Cercle in 2023 for 21 body parts of aborted infants.
“Federal law makes it a felony to ‘knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce,'” the report said.
And emails confirm Cercle officials worried about the billing.
“The overriding issue is the use of terminology that we must not use due to their improper implication that we are selling taxable items, which we are not,” stated a Cercle account manager in an email September 2023. “Due to the nature of our business, we must be very careful and clear that we invoice fees for our procurement services (untaxable).”
Liberty Counsel reported, “The records also indicate that ABR has sold FDA-regulated fetal organs for up to $7,000 each, and that Cercle had to cancel a March 2025 order for a fetal brain because it could not be obtained.”
Also revealed along with the records was evidence of a “financial incentive,” which CMP addressed in a documentary called, “What Happened to Clementine.”
Daleiden said, “These new records from Cercle’s abortion side business harvesting baby body parts show the extreme financial incentives that exist for ‘research’ abortions to deliver whole, preemie-size babies alive—as appears to have been done to baby Clementine and her mother, and potentially thousands of others.”
After CMP revealed the apparent body parts deals in a series of undercover videos, California authorities retaliated.
“California state prosecutors—beginning with then-Attorney General Kamala Harris and continuing with Xavier Becerra, now a California gubernatorial candidate—pursued nine years of litigation against Daleiden and Merritt alleging illegal secret recordings,” Liberty Counsel confirmed.
“In January 2025, the state of California agreed to end its prosecution of the two journalists. Liberty Counsel negotiated on behalf of Merritt where the state Attorney General’s office agreed to end the case against her with no prison time, no fines, and only a ‘No Contest’ pleading to one felony charge, which was reduced to a misdemeanor after a one-year probationary period and then expunged from her record entirely. Daleiden received the same settlement agreement, which was essentially a complete victory for both journalists in a politically motivated criminal case.”
