The president of Planned Parenthood on Thursday apologized for the “tone and statements” of its chief medical officer, whose candid comments about fetal organ removal have generated heavy attacks against the organization.

“Our top priority is the passionate care that we provide. In our video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion,” president Cecile Richards said in a video statement released Thursday afternoon.

“This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member’s tone and statements,” she said.

A video of Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services, openly discussing the demand for fetal organs such as livers, lungs and “intact” hearts now has more than 1.5 million views since it was released Tuesday.
