Planned Parenthood: No profit from fetal organs

The videos, recorded as part of thousands of hours of secret filming by CMP, show Planned Parenthood executives discussing fetal tissue donation.

“Trying to mold an atrocious monstrosity into socially acceptable behaviors is repulsive”, one of the hackers, known only as “E”, told the Daily Dot.

Thirty-four Republican state representatives have asked state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to investigate whether Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state have illegally profited from the sale of fetal body parts. “People are outraged by this and I think the American people deserve to have a vote on it”. However he also stated that this will not change what he said the investigation uncovered.

Richards said the video was “highly selectively edited”, and that the creators of the video had links to anti-abortion groups who have endorsed or conspired to commit violence against abortion providers.

Anti-abortion hackers say they’ve broken into the online files of Planned Parenthood and are threatening to release internal data and worker information.

California-based Center for Medical Progress has already released two videos showing two national Planned Parenthood officials discussing turning over fetal tissue to medical researchers. Democrats have called for a federal investigation of how the group obtained the videos.

Earlier this month, Planned Parenthood came under fire for disturbing videos that exposed members of their staff talking about selling fetal tissue in a nonchalant way.

“After the release of the undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress I felt that our platform was not specific enough”, John Thompson, who authored a resolution submitted to the Green County Republican Party, told Caffeinated Thoughts.

It has vigorously defended the legal procedure, however, focusing on the big picture benefits, and clarified that the only tender it accepts is to cover the costs of shipping the fetal tissue. In the footage, Planned Parenthood officials speak about their group’s work in tissue-donation programs.

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, talks with George Stephanopoulos of the ABC “This Week” on Sunday, July 26, 2015.

There are now five Planned Parenthood abortion facilities operating in Texas.

Planned Parenthood has flatly denied all allegations.

The group claiming responsibility called itself “3301”.

Sen. Rand Paul, meanwhile, said he plans to push for legislation that would cut off the non-profit organization from receiving federal health care dollars.
