They can claim all they want that what they're doing is not illegal. It's IMMORAL damn it! I understand it's all part of a “scientific process” but to tear a human being from limb to limb just doesn't seem humane to me.

Congress lookin' into Planned Parenthood’s aborted baby parts trade...

BREAKING: Congressional hearing investigates ‘horrors’ of Planned Parenthood’s aborted baby parts trade
Wed Sep 9, 2015 - The chairman of a congressional committee investigating Planned Parenthood says the reason he's targeting the abortion giant, and not the pro-life activists behind the videos, is quite simple - it's his job to keep tabs on how "huge amounts" of federal dollars are being spent.

In his opening statement at today's hearing on Planned Parenthood's fetal harvesting -- the first of two for the House Judiciary Committee, and the first of several expected in Congress -- committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-VA, responded to Democrats who have said Republicans should investigate undercover pro-life group Center for Medical Progress. "Some Members have questioned why our investigation is focused on the conduct of Planned Parenthood, and not on the conduct of those who obtained the undercover footage," said Goodlatte. "Part of the answer is that Planned Parenthood, unlike the undercover reporters, is granted huge amounts of federal funds, making it our business as Members of Congress -- charged with controlling the federal purse-strings -- to do what we can to ensure federal taxpayers are not contributing to the sorts of horrors reflected in the undercover videos." "The conduct exposed by the undercover videos may help inform Congress on how to enact better laws, or to see to it that current laws are better enforced, to help protect innocent life nationwide," he concluded.

Goodlatte's comments kicked off a contentious hearing, with three pro-life witnesses and an abortion lawyer being grilled by Members. Democrats frequently attempted to undermine the legitimacy of the hearing, while Republicans tried to show that Planned Parenthood violates the humanity of the unborn. In his opening statement, committee Ranking Member John Conyers accused Goodlatte and Republicans of having a "one-sided hearing...based solely on a series of deceptively-edited undercover videos." Conyers also said that "the Center for Medical Progress – the entity that filmed these videos and which could answer significant and troubling questions about their accuracy and veracity -- is not here today," and said Goodlatte's staff "chose not to invite Planned Parenthood, the target of today’s attacks."

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee

A GOP Judiciary spokesperson clarified to LifeSiteNews that "neither Planned Parenthood nor CMP were invited to today’s hearing" by Republicans. "The House Judiciary Committee’s hearing is focused on the testimony from victims and experts on this issue," said the spokesperson, "in order for Members and the American people to understand what issues the Committee is examining throughout its investigation." "The minority had the opportunity to invite a witness of their choice, but did not invite a representative from either organization." Democratic Communications Director Stephanie Baez told LifeSiteNews that "the committee preferred to have a legal expert as a witness" instead of Planned Parenthood representatives.

She also said, "It’s important to note that we did reach out to CMP to discuss the hearing with David Daleiden and intended to ask him to be our witness if that conversation were to have taken place. Daleiden did not return our call.” A LifeSiteNews phone call to Daleiden was not immediately returned. The four-hour hearing brought in four witnesses to testify. Three were pro-life -- James Bopp, General Counsel for the D.C.-based National Right to Life; and pro-life abortion survivors Melissa Ohden and Gianna Jessen. The lone pro-abortion witness was Priscilla Smith, Director of the Program for the Study of Reproductive Justice at Yale's law school. Smith represented late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart in front of the Supreme Court when he fought the federal partial-birth abortion ban in 2007.

PP will no longer accept money for fetal tissues...

Planned Parenthood Stops Fetal Tissue Transactions
Tuesday, October 13, 2015 - Planned Parenthood will no longer accept money for fetal tissue donations, even though it will continue to harvest fetal tissue at several clinics to make available for research.

Cecile Richards, the group's president, outlined the new policy in a letter sent to Francis Collins, the director of the National Institute of Health. The policy change was an effort to "take away any basis for attacking Planned Parenthood to advance an anti-abortion political agenda," she explained. The Center for Medical Progress recently released a series of undercover videoes highlighting Planned Parenthood's practice of selling baby body parts for a profit. "Planned Parenthood's policies on fetal tissue donation already exceed the legal requirements," Richards wrote. "Now we're going even further in order to take away any basis for attacking Planned Parenthood to advance an anti-abortion political agenda."

Republicans have launched several investigations into Planned Parenthood, along with efforts to cut off the organization's federal funding. Rep. Diane Black, a registered nurse and author of the House-passed Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, said this policy change was motivated by optics rather than Planned Parenthood's conscience. "If Planned Parenthood truly wanted to confront its growing scandal, it would stop aborting more than 327,000 innocent lives each year and fully commit to true women's health care," Black said.

While selling fetal tissue for profit is illegal, a 1993 law passed by Congress with bipartisan support allows women who undergo abortions to donate fetal tissue for use in scientific research. The law allowed entities supplying the tissue to recover the costs of running such programs. Planned Parenthood says its fetal tissue programs currently take place in only two states - California and Washington - at about a half-dozen of the 700 health centers run by the organization nationwide. Planned Parenthood's executive vice president Dawn Laguens said the Washington state affiliate already had a policy of accepting no reimbursement for its costs. The California affiliate will now follow the same policy.
