Planned Parenthood president: Group doesn’t profit from fetal organs

Planned Parenthood does not at all profit from fetal tissue donation, which is an important element of healthcare research in this country. “They’ve faked tax filings and completely falsified what they were about, ‘ Richards said yesterday of ABC News” This Week program. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand says it has not done anything wrong and that these videos are deceptively edited to support the false claims of the extremists.

President of the non-profit Cecile Richards said earlier on “This Week” that “Planned Parenthood has broken no laws”.

Hillary Clinton came to the defense of Planned Parenthood claiming that the organization has provided essential services to women including reproductive health services, access to affordable family planning, cancer screening and other health check-ups. After the release of the second video, Clinton said she didn’t have all of the facts but that Planned Parenthood had apologized for the insensitivity of its employees in the discussions captured on video. Women trust Planned Parenthood.

“This office will also review any materials filed by the Center for Medical Progress with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts to determine whether the organization violated laws including, but not limited to, our registration and reporting requirements”, she added.

“I think the time is now to discuss whether taxpayer dollars should be going to such a gruesome procedure”, Paul, who is among a crowded field seeking the Republican presidential nomination, said Sunday on Fox News. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood in his own state, as has Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.

The hacker told the Daily Dot, ‘Obviously what [Planned Parenthood] does is a very ominous practice.

Richards says fetal organ donation takes place in a handful of states and the tissue goes toward medical research.

Richards repeatedly maintained that the clinics did not benefit financially from the sale of fetal tissue, stressing that Planned Parenthood was 100% non-profit and that any money that changed hands was merely to cover transport costs.

Reports indicate that the founder of the Los Angeles-based Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, use to work for renowned anti-abortion group Live Action.

In a statement issued by Planned Parenthood’s Louisiana director, Melissa Flournoy, she said, “there is no financial benefit in fetal tissue donation for the patient, the health center or Planned Parenthood“.
