Louisiana, Bobby Jindal leads attack, investigation into Planned Parenthood organ scheme
Federal law prohibits the sale of body parts of aborted babies, but Planned Parenthood claims that the donation consent from mothers is enough to justify the “sale” of this tissue for research and unknown reasons. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has already pushing the story to the national presidential race.
A release by e-mail from Jindal of Louisiana escalates the story:
Today, Governor Jindal announced he is directing the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to launch an investigation into Planned Parenthood after reports surfaced alleging some Planned Parenthood affiliates are using partial birth abortions to sell fetal body parts.
A video surfaced showing a Planned Parenthood Federation of America senior director describing how some Planned Parenthood employees are actively engaging in illegal partial birth abortion procedures and attempting to conduct these abortions so that they leave body parts intact so that they can later be sold on the open market.
Governor Jindal said, “Today’s video of a Planned Parenthood official discussing the systematic harvesting and trafficking of human body parts is shocking and gruesome. This same organization is seeking to open an abortion clinic in New Orleans. I have instructed Louisiana’s Department of Health and Hospitals to conduct an immediate investigation into this alleged evil and illegal activity and to not issue any licenses until this investigation is complete. I am also asking the FBI to assist DHH in investigating this alleged criminal activity by this organization.”
