Tissue Supply Company Says It’s Cutting Ties With Planned Parenthood After
Jeff Teague, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of East and Middle Tennessee, said the organization does not participate in tissue donation anywhere in Tennessee. Perhaps StemExpress wants to push back from Planned Parenthood and let them deal with the consent issues, but given O’Donnell’s description of these processes, it’s a little late to think that ending the partnership will solve that problem entirely.
“The CDC would not list abortion at all, because legally the fetus is not considered a life”. “How does one explain this given Carson’s stand on fetal tissue research?”
Mike Reed, a spokesman for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, tells The Wall Street Journal the Medicaid contract between the state health department and Planned Parenthood gives either party the right to cancel the contract at will with a 30-day notice.
The California-based StemExpress notified Planned Parenthood and Congress of its decision on Friday, Politico reported.
StemExpress did not immediately respond to TheBlaze’s request for comment Friday afternoon.
While the videos have focused on the Planned Parenthood abortion business, the biotech firm StemExpress, which buys and resells aborted baby body parts from the abortion giant, has filed a lawsuit seeking to block some information the Center for Medical Progress obtained in its three year undercover operation.
StemExpress is also seeking a permanent injunction that prevents the center from releasing any videos featuring current employees or facilities.
Donald Trump appeared on the Sean Hannity show on August 11 and appeared to be clearly defending Planned Parenthood in the wake of shocking Center for Medical Progress videos. Nationwide, three Planned Parenthood affiliates in two states allow patients to donate fetal tissue for medical research, according to a statement by the group.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joanne O’Donnell said the firm is unlikely to prevail in its case to abrogate CMP’s First Amendment rights.
A company that stopped release of controversial videos via a court order has lost a round in court, too.
He also pointed to the founding days of Planned Parenthood and the misconceptions about Margaret Sanger, the leading force into the establishment of the health care and abortion provider, and said those who now work at the nonprofit ought to read up on their history.
The group continued in its statement to LifeNews: “They are not succeeding-their initial petition was rejected by the court, and their second petition was eviscerated to a narrow and contingent order about an alleged recording pending CMP’s opportunity to respond”.
“Our understanding is that the Center for Medical Progress will release approximately 10-12 videos at about a rate of one per week”.
