Yesterday, The Hill reported that the FBI asked the Senate Judiciary Committee for the unredacted interviews and documents it obtained during its one-and-a-half-year investigation of Planned Parenthood’s baby parts trafficking scandal. It looks like a criminal investigation has begun.
Statement from Lila Rose:
“Nearly a year ago, the Senate presented overwhelming evidence that Planned Parenthood deliberately turned a blind eye when its affiliates violated its own policies about trafficking in the body parts of aborted children. Despite that evidence and the fact that Planned Parenthood’s own lawyers admitted they couldn’t legally justify the money the abortion chain charged for the body parts, politics won over principle, and the Obama administration decided to bury the criminal investigation.
“The facts are, Planned Parenthood took money for harvesting baby body parts and its partners charged hundreds of dollars each for arms, lungs, brains, and eyes, potentially making thousands of dollars on a single aborted child.
“We applaud any action taken to follow the evidence where it leads and to hold Planned Parenthood accountable. The only thing that could hinder this investigation from leading to indictments of Planned Parenthood and the companies involved in the sale of baby body parts is politics.
“I thank Chairman Grassley for his persistence in pushing for the criminal investigation to move forward. These innocent children – sold piecemeal for profit – deserve justice.
“Steps to investigate abortion chain Planned Parenthood are good — but complete justice cannot be achieved until every abortion facility is shut down. This scandal shows us the inhumanity that results when human life is so devalued. We must continue working toward the day when every child is protected from the brutal violence of abortion.”
