New documents prove Planned Parenthood profited from selling aborted body parts: pro-life group
By Ben Johnson, LifeSite:
A pro-life organization has released documents that may show Planned Parenthood illegally profited from the sale of aborted babies’ body parts, furthering a Texas state investigation and possibly triggering a new grand jury in Harris County.
The new receipts show that Planned Parethood charges for each body part obtained, as pro-life advocates had maintained all along.
Operation Rescue attorney Briscoe Cain held a press conference in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Houston, which is run by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC). After undercover investigators filmed PPGC officials discussing how such profit could be hidden in “line items,” it touched off a series of investigations at the national, state, and local level.
One of those was in Harris County, where the grand jury on Monday took no action against Planned Parenthood but indicted David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the CMP investigators who shot the footage. They face up to 20 years in prison for using a fake ID.
New invoices show PPGC partnering with the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston to furnish aborted babies’ tissue for medical research and experimentation.
An e-mail from September 7, 2011, shows a UTMB official telling Melissa Farrell (who personally signs some of her e-mails “Missy”), “We are needing to collect tissues as soon as possible.”
