BREAKING: Congress to Investigate Planned Parenthood for Illegally Selling Parts of Murdered Babies

Earlier this week an activist group released a video showing one of the heads of Planned Parenthood admitting that the abortion mill operator illegally sells the body parts of dead babies. Now Congress has announced that it will investigate Planned Parenthood for this illegal trafficking in human body parts and organs.

It seems pretty clear with this video[1] shows that Planned Parenthood is acting illegally (and they have released the uncut, three-hour video showing that no deceptive editing occurred).

Now Congress is looking into this situation[2].

Speaker John Boehner says the House of Representatives will look into the “grisly” practice at Planned Parenthood. Boehner issued the following statement on the video released yesterday documenting the grisly practices embraced by Planned Parenthood.

“Nothing is more precious than life, especially an unborn child. When anyone diminishes an unborn child, we are all hurt, irreversibly so. When an organization monetizes an unborn child – and with the cavalier attitude portrayed in this horrific video – we must all act. As a start, I have asked our relevant committees to look into this matter. I am also calling on President Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell to denounce, and stop, these gruesome practices.”

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the number two Republican, also released a statement calling on House Committees to investigate inhumane abortion practices first revealed yesterday in a video of a Planned Parenthood employee.

“Life is truly a miracle, and here in the House we have fought and will continue to fight to protect the sanctity of life. I speak for all of my colleagues when I say I was deeply disturbed by reports and video of an organization engaging in such grotesque and inhumane practices. I will be working with House Committees to investigate the claims made by the employee. We should all agree that no life is expendable, and our society has no place for such callous indifference to life.”

The statements come just hours before members of Congress will host a press conference also calling for a Congressional investigation. Representatives Chris Smith (NJ-04), Sean Duffy (WI-07) and Ann Wagner (MO-02) are hosting a press conference calling for further investigation into the evidence presented in undercover video.

It is already illegal to traffic in human body parts. This seems a pretty clear cut case.

But here’s a question. If an abortion is that of a “non-human tissue mass” how can they be getting viable human organs to sell? Doesn’t that contradict their claim that an aborted fetus isn’t human?
