Tissue company cuts ties with Planned Parenthood after videos
Politico ^ | 08/14/2015 | By JENNIFER HABERKORN

StemExpress, one of the tissue companies that works with Planned Parenthood, is cutting its ties with the women’s health organization after a series of sting videos that have prompted congressional inquiries, sources tell POLITICO.

The small biomedical tissue procurement company is distancing itself from Planned Parenthood after finding itself tangentially linked to what abortion opponents allege is Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of fetal tissue and organs.

Both StemExpress and Planned Parenthood have denied doing anything illegal or improper. They say that they only facilitated the donation of tissue for medical research with a patient’s consent.

StemExpress, a five-year-old company based in Placerville, Calif., notified Planned Parenthood and Congress Friday of its decision to end the relationship, the source said. The House Energy and Commerce and the Senate Judiciary committees had asked StemExpress to explain its relationship with Planned Parenthood.

StemExpress worked inside several Northern California Planned Parenthood clinics. Typically, after a patient told a Planned Parenthood physician that she was going to have an abortion, a StemExpress technician would ask for consent to obtain the fetal tissue. If consent was granted, the technician would then facilitate and process the donation of the tissue for StemExpress.

In two of the six videos released to date, former StemExpress technician Holly O’Donnell claims that she once saw another technician appear to obtain fetal tissue without a patient’s consent. StemExpress “unequivocally” denied the claim.

I wonder how they so quickly knew that it wasn’t true to deny it.

Distancing itself? It’s my understanding that it’s a subsidiary of PP. What they’re really trying to do is hide the connections.

Twinkie suspects that a bunch of lazy heifers are using Planned Parenthood abortion services INSTEAD of using birth control. Too many millions of dead babies for it not to be the case. - Blacks using their heads for something other than hat racks can figure out that PP is in the business of “Negro” genocide as Sanger prescribed.
