A third Planned Parenthood video was released Tuesday morning that features a whistleblower who says her biomedical company would compensate Planned Parenthood clinics for fetal organs based on their condition and quality after being extracted from an abortion.

Holly O'Donnell is a former technician for California-based Stem Express, a company that contracts with abortion clinics for the tissue.

"The more valuable the tissue the more money you get, so if you can somehow procure a brain or a heart you're going to get more money than just umbilical cord," O'Donnell says in the video. "So I guess that's incentive to try and get the hard stuff because they get more money."

The footage shows medical professionals picking through trays of aborted fetal tissue for legs and other recognizable body parts. O'Donnell says that when she was asked to participate, she fainted. She also names Cate Dyer, the president and founder of Stem Express, saying Dyer makes "a lot of money."
