1⃣ Seven years ago today, CMP's first undercover video release caught Planned Parenthood (@PPFA) selling aborted baby body parts. The impact of the undercover videos is still being felt today. Check out these top 7 victories that have happened since our groundbreaking reporting.
2⃣The undercover footage caught @PPFA's highest level leadership using criminal partial-birth abortions to deliver live babies for harvesting, selling the fetuses & body parts on a quid pro quo basis totally disconnected from legal reimbursement from the highest national levels.

"Valuable consideration" means the Quid Pro Quo in an exchange. It's not strictly about profit or reimbursement, it's about what the transaction is incentivizing:
