In a letter to Congress intended to defend its practices and attack its hidden-video critics, Planned Parenthood wound up lending credence to accusations that it manipulates rules on selling fetal organs to maximize profit.
Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, admitted in an 11-page letter Thursday that its affiliates have accepted payments ranging from $45 to $60 “per tissue specimen” from abortions, but said that they were reimbursements to cover costs, which federal law allows.
But she also said that “adjustments that facilitate fetal tissue donations rarely occur at our few clinics that offer women this service,” prompting David Daleiden of the pro-life Center for Medical Progress to declare that she had proved the point of his group’s investigation — that “adjustments occur.”
Several of the videos showed Planned Parenthood representatives haggling over prices — and in one case joking about wanting a Lamborghini — with people they thought represented biotech firm purchasers.
“Both of these admissions speak to Planned Parenthood’s financial benefit and profit motive for supplying fetal tissue, and both are the points CMP’s videos have documented and illustrated from the very beginning,” Mr. Daleiden said in a statement.
He disputed Ms. Richards‘ contention that the $45 to $60 per specimen payment was charged only to cover costs, saying that tissue-procurement organizations “handle all dissection, packaging and shipping of fetal organs” while Planned Parenthood spends “10 minutes consenting a patient.”

Sounds like some women were reimbursed maybe for staying pregnant longer or allowing special techniques.
Excellent catch
I’ve been posting this as often as possible.
How do they get away with this? I mean, I know we’ve got another worthless US atty general in Loretta Lynch, a female Eric Holder ... but is *every* US attorney a worthless, intimidated, political lickspittle, scofflaw sack-o’-shite?
PP admits that it is violating the law.
This has to the most lawless administration ever. I don’t know how justice dept. employees with an ounce of integrity dare show their faces in public.
The same goes for Title 8 US Code `Immigration and Naturalization’ and about a dozen other US Code titles.
crickets
Even their janitors make a “killing” (sorry, a bad pun) on selling baby parts. What a country!!!!
