Planned Parenthood under investigation by Justice Department over sale of fetal tissu
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/...issue.html
Quote:The Justice Department has launched a federal investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practices and the sale of fetal tissue.
In a letter first obtained by Fox News, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same panel that led the congressional probe into the women’s health organization.
“The Department of Justice appreciates the offer of assistance in obtaining these materials, and would like to request the Committee provide unredacted copies of records contained in the report, in order to further the Department’s ability to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of that report based on the full range of information available,” Boyd wrote.
Quote:Fox News is told that Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said they needed to receive a letter and be assured that the documents would be used for investigative purposes.
The letter, sent to Grassley and Feinstein on Thursday, is a rare confirmation by the Justice Department of a federal investigation.
Quote:In the committee’s final report entitled “Human Fetal Tissue Research: Context and Controversy” published in December 2016, Grassley referred Planned Parenthood and other providers to the FBI for investigation.
Grassley said at the time that the committee has discovered enough evidence that shows how abortion providers had transferred fetal tissue and body parts from aborted fetuses for research by charging amounts higher than they actually cost.
“The report documents the failure of the Department of Justice, across multiple administrations, to enforce the law that bans the buying and selling of human fetal tissue,” Grassley wrote last December urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate. “It also documents substantial evidence suggesting that the specific entities involved in the recent controversy, and/or individuals employed by those entities, may have violated that law.”
The now-federal investigation comes after a 2015 undercover investigation by activists David Daleiden, leader of the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, and Sandra Merritt, an employee of the group, who both posed as fetal researchers and made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.
The recorded conversations included officials from Planned Parenthood and StemExpress, a California company that provides blood, tissue and other biological material for medical research and has received fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

Good. I hope they're found guilty and get fined the maximum.
Even better would be for them to be shut down.

I think they found that the undercover video was doctored up to make Planned Parenthood look bad. Even several Republicans called that video fake. It would be a waste of taxpayers money when there was no such act.

Planned Parenthood kills babies and supports dims. It doesn't take a "doctored" video to make them look bad.

They revealed their true colors when they tried to destroy the Susan B. Komen Foundation for trying to avoid their stench.

The only time I think abortions should be okay in cases of rape/incest (evil Satan's work) and the life of the mother and baby. Other abortions I do not think should be legal.

Believe the bs claims were that the videos were edited, not doctored. Relevant parts are what's important when releasing any video, not things like bathroom breaks.
