The PP film came out shortly after _Silent_Scream_, and had nothing to
do with _Conceived_In_Liberty_, which came out even later.

I noticed that this film said something like "The ages of the fetuses
averaged X" and managed to show a few shots of fetuses FAR older than
that.  (Of course, you need a special lens on your camera to show a
twelve week fetus - that must be why they didn't do it :-) )

As yet nobody knows where the fetuses in the dumpster came from.  One
strongly suspects they were doing something that is illegal under
current law...
