Posted 1:00 AM EasternDecember 22, 2016 Senator Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey referring four Planned Parenthood affiliates in California and three fetal tissue brokers for investigation and possible criminal prosecution. While the current Attorney General Loretta Lynch isn't budging on the Obama administration's disregard for the unborn, many believe that after the January 20 inauguration of President Donald Trump there will be legal action against those involved in the sordid practices of Planned Parenthood.
Following
the investigation of Planned Parenthood as the result of the release of
a series of videos by citizen journalist David Daleiden and the Center
for Medical Progress (CMP), the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee
obtained additional evidence revealing that Planned Parenthood, its affiliates,
and the fetal tissue traffickers have violated the federal ban on buying
and selling the body parts of unborn babies.
Moreover,
the Judiciary Committee discovered that Attorney General Loretta Lynch
and the Department of Justice are refusing to enforce the federal fetal
tissue trafficking statute, failing to prosecute even one entity under
the law, despite substantial evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
The
Committee's investigation found that the following entities engaged in
the purchase and sale of baby body parts for profit: “I don’t
take lightly making a criminal referral. But, the seeming disregard for
the law by these entities has been fueled by decades of utter failure
by the Justice Department to enforce it,” Grassley said. “And,
unless there is a renewed commitment by everyone involved against commercializing
the trade in aborted fetal body parts for profit, then the problem is
likely to continue.”
• StemExpress, LLC;
• Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc.;
• Novogenix Laboratories, LLC;
• Planned Parenthood Mar Monte;
• Planned Parenthood Los Angeles;
• Planned Parenthood Northern California; and
• Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest.
The
Senate Judiciary Committee also found evidence of conspiracy between Planned
Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, since PPFA knew about
the violations and changed oversight procedures in order to allow the
violations to continue. The Judiciary Committee's findings are available
in a Majority
Staff Report published this month.
Planned
Parenthood Mar Monte is the largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the
nation, operating 33 facilities in California and Nevada and taking in
over $96 million annually. The four affiliates referred for prosecution
represent over $263 million in annual revenue.
"Life
Legal Defense Foundation looks forward to the confirmation of Senator
Jeff Sessions as [President Donald Trump's] new U.S. Attorney General,"
stated the group's executive director, Ms. Alexandra Snyder. "Senator
Sessions currently sits on the Judiciary Committee and we anticipate that
he will thoroughly investigate Planned Parenthood's activities and prosecute
the affiliates to the fullest extent of the law."
If not
for David Daleiden's videos, Congress would not have initiated investigations
into Planned Parenthood's business model that includes profiting from
the sale of fetal organs and tissues. We would not have seen firsthand
the cavalier and callous manner in which the abortion industry discusses
the dismemberment of innocent human beings.
"Daleiden's
heroic efforts to expose the multi-billion-dollar corporate abortion industry
have not come without a great personal cost. He continues to battle four
separate lawsuits filed against him by some of the very entities that
are on the prosecution referral list," noted Life Legal's press statement.
Life
Legal represents David in three lawsuits filed by StemExpress, the National
Abortion Federation, and Planned Parenthood. All of the Planned Parenthood
affiliates referred for prosecution are plaintiffs in the lawsuit, as
is StemExpress. Another Planned Parenthood affiliate, PP Gulf Coast in
Texas, is also a plaintiff and was referred for prosecution by the House
Select Panel investigating Planned Parenthood's role in the fetal tissue
trade.
While
Hillary Clinton served as the Obama administration’s Secretary of
State, Planned Parenthood, which is now in the midst of a gruesome scandal,
had gone to Mrs. Clinton with their hats in their hands requesting and
receiving millions and millions of taxpayer dollars from foreign policy
agencies over the past few years, according to a news
reports on Thursday.
As the
nation’s top diplomat, Mrs. Clinton attacked government policies
that ban federal funding of abortion overseas. As a result, the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID), a major bureau within
the State Department, funneled upwards of $100 million to Planned Parenthood
and its international affiliates between 2010 and 2012, according to the
Government
Accountability Office. Pro-abortion organizations received up to 20
percent of the half-billion dollars received from taxpayers unbeknownst
to the 52 percent of Americans who claim they are pro-life.
“Mrs.
Clinton knew darn well that federal
funding of abortions is prohibited even under Obamacare which was
passed in 2010. Yet, here we see money from the State Department —
hardly a healthcare agency — channeling money to the liberal-left’s
greatest achievement which is the killing of unborn and defenseless babies,”
said former police officer and corruption investigator Iris Aquino.
Hillary
Clinton has reportedly received close to $70,000 in campaign contributions
from Planned Parenthood and its employees. Clinton has spoken to Planned
Parenthood on a number of occasions. In 2014, Clinton was honored with
the organization’s Margaret Sanger award. One of the biggest cover
ups in U.S. history is the racism of Sanger and her ideology some compared
to 1930’s European fascism.
Also,
arguably one of the most liberal courts in the nation which is in the
city of Los Angeles gave Stem Express — which has been identified
as a company that procures body parts of aborted infants from Planned
Parenthood — a temporary injunction forbidding the release of more
videos obtained by undercover journalists from the Center for Medical
Progress. CMP had recorded conversations with Stem Express officials at
a meeting in a public restaurant during which the unborn babies’
body parts were discussed.
