Congressional panel recommends charges against fetal tissue organizations

[Wash Times] The special committee of Congress looking into the sale of fetal tissue has recommended that prosecutors investigate one Planned Parenthood affiliate and referred a handful of other organizations for criminal or regulatory probes, a panel member revealed Thursday.

Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast violated both Texas and U.S. laws when it sold body parts to the University of Texas, Rep. Mia B. Love, Utah Republican, said on the House floor, detailing the progress of the Select Investigative Panel that is conducting the probe.

The revelations came just hours before the House voted to extend the committee’s work, allocating another $800,000 in a 234-181 vote that broke down almost entirely along party lines.

"Over the last year, we have held hearings that explored the bioethics surrounding fetal tissue use and that revealed the sobering reality of how some bad actors seek to profit from the sale of fetal tissue in violation of federal law," said committee Chairwoman Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican.
Democratic leaders countered that the probe was "built on a pack of lies," and disputed Republicans’ claims that they have found wrongdoing.
