Cruz: Congress should investigate and defund Planned Parenthood (selling body parts)

HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding recent reports that Planned Parenthood is selling body parts of aborted babies:

“Today’s news regarding allegations that Planned Parenthood is possibly selling the body parts of the babies it has aborted is sickening.

“There is no place for taxpayer funding of organizations that profit from taking away innocent life, much less profiting off the bodies of the lives they have stolen. Congress should immediately begin an investigation of Planned Parenthood’s activities regarding the sale and transfer of aborted body parts, including who is obtaining them and what they are being used for. And it should renew efforts to fully defund Planned Parenthood to ensure that its morally bankrupt business receives not one penny of taxpayer money.

“I proudly stand on the side of life and remain committed to fighting for all innocent life to be valued and protected under the laws of this nation.”

I hope this story just digs into the dark souls of those who support this manner of evil.

Of course it would be sickening—if we knew it were happening. I hope this turns out to be a rumor.

Sickening but not surprising in the least.

Congress is a pile of crap. They are worthless and a bunch of cowards.

They can investigate all they want, but P-P won't feel a thing.

They'll just say it was an "honest mistake," file a disciplinary letter in some nameless employee's personnel folder, and that will be that.

Except that they'll say they need another $500 mil to "tighten up their compliance procedures," and the GOP congress will fork it over.

Wouldn't it be something to expose the fact that the Democrats' entire push to enact abortion into law was money?

I mean, really. It so fits their modus operandi!

I thought it was against the law to sell body parts.

But then again these are cold blooded killers so this is nothing to them.

They have video of a woman admitting to it, and using the banned practice of Partial birth abortion to harvest said organs.

What is it going to take for people to acknowledge the organization is utterly corrupt?

Congress won’t do a thing. And I suspect Sen. Cruz is well aware of that.

The Okeefe-ing of planned infanticide will bear some nice fruit though. Just think of the additional human beings who were saved as a result! Some good news today.

Mitt Romney personally donated to Planned Parenthood and legislated on their behalf.

Someone tell me again about lesser evil being better than Democrats/Obama. Go ahead...

Not just “a woman”. She’s a doctor who’s the national “medical” director of PP.

Thanks. I forgot if she was only a regional director or someone bigger.

Makes my stomach turn.
