In a letter to the university, U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, referenced documents released by the Center for Medical Progress alleging a purchase by CSU for “aborted babies’ body parts for experimentation or other purposes”, directly or indirectly from Planned Parenthood’s California affiliate, on January 10, 2013.

Planned Parenthood officials have cried foul over an expose by an anti-abortion group.

Culp said her group wants to ensure that the state’s ban is adequately enforced and, “That’s not going to happen without a thorough investigation”. The review will examine if any of that money is being used by Planned Parenthood.
