LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - David Daleiden of the Medical Progress Center revealed how he felt the presence of "evil" while doing an undercover documentary on the Planned Parenthood Program. 
In an interview with Glenn Beck's radio program, Daleiden said he met the late-term abortion doctor Shelley Sella after the screening of After Tiller, a documentary profiling doctors who perform third-trimester abortions.

while undercover filming, Daleiden asked Sella about fetal tissue harvesting. 
"And while I was speaking with her, she wasn't suspicious of my character," he said. "Everything, everything was going well. We were talking and kind of joking and laughing about something. And all of a sudden she looked straight in my eyes, and I saw almost like a flash of light run from one side of her eyes to another. Kind of like when the sun is flashing in a car, like driving on the freeway. And a flash from one side to the other, and all of a sudden, her eyes looked really hard and mean and aggressive."
"And for the first time during this entire project, I felt really afraid, like an actual fear, a fight-or-flight kind of response. I felt very exposed, like she knew everything about me. And then all of a sudden ... back to laughing and joking, totally casual, normal. And I talked about that with several people afterwards, and some people have kind of a spiritual interpretation, and others have a more psychological interpretation. But on some level, we feel like that was the predator look or the predator instinct that you see in someone who is accustomed to killing people. This is a late-term abortion doctor who has terminated many, many, many big babies over the years," he described.
Looking back, Daleiden believes the moment he felt the fear of Sella's emanating evil intentions were "probably the most significant."
According to Daleiden, Sella continues practicing abortion in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she is legally able to perform abortions up to birth.
