Ohio attorney general orders probe of Planned Parenthood

2015-07-17

[WKYC] Ohio's top law enforcer says he's investigating whether Planned Parenthood
...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party.
may have violated its nonprofit status and made money from the sale of organs from aborted fetuses.

Attorney General Mike DeWine

...(R), Richard Michael DeWine has been the Ohio attorney general since 2010. Before that he was one of Ohio's senators (1995-2007), before that he filled a variety of elected roles at the state and federal level including Congressman and lieutenant governor, and before that he was a lawyer...

said Thursday his charitable law section is reviewing the activities at three Ohio locations of the abortion and reproductive health services provider.

The Republican's announcement follows an anti-abortion group's release of a video it made secretly showing a Planned Parenthood official discussing the disposal of body parts from aborted fetuses. Three congressional committees are investigating the matter.

DeWine called the video "truly horrifying" and said if money was made from the practice it might be illegal.

Planned Parenthood says it legally helps women who want to make not-for-profit donations of their fetus' organs for scientific research and doesn't profit.

#8 Already old news, setup by Evangelical extremists who want to take your birth control pills. Likely Copperheads at best Confederate Fifth Column at worst. Move along, nothing to see here.

#5 I'll make a prediction that the selling of parts is much wider spread than originally thought. I'll even take it a step further and postulate that distribution will involve academia.

#2 Can we sell the planned parenthood directors and president's organs? Seems only fair.

#1 The parts come from late term abortions, 17 weeks or later. Its criminal...
