Again, taxpayer money will be wasted on an investigation into Planned Parenthood based on a video that was debunked within 24 hours of dropping. “We need to stand together”.

Brooks argued, “Republicans have been sort of de-emphasizing this issue [abortion]”.
Most state legislatures are now out of session and will remain so until January, but at least one possible future target that advocates pointed to was the push toward so-called 20-week abortion bans.
Because this is Planned Parenthood, most of the media will frame this as a political tug of war rather than explore the politics and ethics of allowing Americans to terminate a life and then harvest organs.
Whitbeck’s demand came one day after Republican leaders of Virginia’s House of Delegates called on McAuliffe to launch an investigation. “When anyone diminishes an unborn child, we are all hurt, irreversibly so”.
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact”, Nucatola says.
“I don’t have intimate knowledge of the kinds of practices that they engage in”, he added. Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana said the contents of the video were “shocking and gruesome”. He was speaking from the floor of the U.S. Senate in reaction to the ghastly video that caught a high-ranking official with Planned Parenthood speaking nonchalantly about the selling of the body parts of aborted babies.
As Dr. Ben Carson told Megyn Kelly on Fox News, the real shocker isn’t the video, but the way people responded to this evidence. This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member’s tone and statements. What Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior director for medical services, really tells us is that these aren’t just clumps of cells devoid of moral significance or objective – especially when they don’t meet Nucatola’s scalpel.
This week, a group of abortion rights opponents released a hidden camera video of a conversation with an official from Planned Parenthood.
“Anybody that’s seen the video is disturbed by it”, said Chris Freund with the Family Foundation.
At the Capitol Hill news conference, Roby became emotional and began to cry, saying the situation warrants a criminal investigation.
“That you have Planned Parenthood – who is harvesting organs – for profit!” The people said what’s considering talked about in the video is formation grant for scientific studies, and yes it doesn’t actually profit handsomely due to the gifts.
The reason I’m able to watch these movies late at night with a bowl of popcorn and under a flickering, low-wattage GE bulb is their absolute improbability. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards also apologized for the “tone” of Deborah Nucatola. They have not, and will not make an effort to force Democrats or other businesses to disavow any connection with Planned Parenthood and its grisly business practices. “These groups have been widely discredited and their claims fall apart on closer examination, just as they do in this case”.

Asked directly about the “partial-birth” allegations raised by the video, Eric Ferrero, spokesman for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said: “As a high-quality health-care provider, Planned Parenthood follows all federal and state laws and regulations”.
