Restraining order issued against anti-abortion group’s video

A congressional investigation has Colorado State University changing how it gets fetal tissue for medical research. “We are going to continue to do some background investigation and we’ll reach out to the attorney general again when we feel it’s appropriate”.

Earlier this month undercover videos were released by anti-abortion activists aimed at discrediting Planned Parenthood’s procedures for providing fetal tissue to researchers.

But Linton said the clinic did not break any laws and defended skipping the hearing by the Texas Health and Human Services Committee. The United States Agency for global Development (USAID), which is tied to the State Department, steered more than $100 million in funding to Planned Parenthood, its worldwide affiliates, and the pro-abortion Population Council between 2010 and 2012, according to the Government Accountability Office-about 20 percent of the almost $500 million pro-abortion organizations received from taxpayers during that time frame.

On Tuesday, at Sisters Restaurant on Main Street in Hartford, following a meeting with community leaders and the Mayor of Hartford, Pedro Segarra, on recent violence in the area, Malloy weighed in the Planned Parenthood controversy.

Planned Parenthood’s request to the National Institutes of Health came as Senate Republicans pressed their fight to bar the organization from receiving federal aid.

Inhofe said, “We need to do more than just defund Planned Parenthood; it’s time they are investigated”. “And a thoughtful, careful review by leading medical and ethical experts could do a lot to help the public and policymakers think through this issue and reach informed conclusions”.

Earnest also said he is not sure if President Obama has seen the videos, but added he is following the story in the news.

Toomey signed on Wednesday as a co-sponsor to legislation that would divert Planned Parenthood’s current support to other groups that provide women’s health services. Yet, she “didn’t get rid of this one”, he said, as attendees applauded, knowing that if his mother would’ve caved to pressure, they would not be looking at the man standing in front of them. That bill is now being analyzed by the U.S. Senate and should be voted within the next weeks.

Tapper then asked where he would draw the line when it comes to fetal tissue research, a debate stirred by the release of the videos. It is legal to receive compensation for the overhead costs of donating aborted fetal tissue, but in the videos some officials appear to be haggling over the price, fueling charges that they have illegally profited from it. Planned Parenthood likely loses money on the whole thing, but the numbers are a tiny part of its budget. She said a manager at the facility encouraged the successful collection of baby body parts, taking the position that, “Planned Parenthood needs compensation”.

The measure was introduced by Iowa Republican Joni Ernst after the release of heavily edited videos recorded by the nonprofit Center for Medical Progress, in which anti-abortion activists sought information about fetal tissue by posing as buyers. “The current attempt to discredit Planned Parenthood is part of a long-term smear campaign by people who want to deny women in this country the right to control their own bodies”, said Sanders.
