Jesus, I'd love to see forensic audits done of all the leaders in the House and Senates office budgets.

Planned Parenthood Investigations Find No Fetal Tissue Sales
January 28, 2016


Once again this week, an investigation into Planned Parenthood's alleged sale of fetal tissue came up empty.

A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, voted to indict in a state investigation of Planned Parenthood. But it didn't indict the reproductive rights organization. In an unexpected turn, the grand jury indicted two anti-abortion activists from the Center for Medical Progress. That is the organization that famously last year released videos that it said depicted Planned Parenthood illegally trying to sell fetal body parts.

The videos served as a major rallying point for Americans opposed to abortion. They fueled a threat to shut down the government as well as a push in several states to cut funding to Planned Parenthood.

They also inspired a wave of investigations. After the videos' release last summer, a number of states quickly decided to look into whether the tissue sale the videos purported to show was happening within their borders.

Despite all the worry, state investigations have yet to find any evidence that Planned Parenthood was selling or profiting off fetal tissue. Twelve states have completed investigations into Planned Parenthood following the videos' release, according to the organization.

Here's what happened in each of those cases....

Somewhat, but for the most part.

Yes, indeed! A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

So, yes, they seem to be trying the exact same thing we did to them two years ago (less than the length of a presidential term without any new findings) and are seriously expecting anything different?






Of course, given King Don's blatant disregard for the facts, I probably shouldn't be surprised if they pull something out of their asses to incriminate someone, even if it is utter bullshit.

Yay, more waste of government money on investigations that will go nowhere.

Meanwhile we make cuts to medicaid and medicate because fuck poor people, right?

Fuck pro life morons, they don't give a fuck about kids or adults after birth so. I really hate assholes whom think they have the right to dictate what others do with their bodies. But hey, if you fuck the poor and middle class to fund tax breaks for billionaires whom don't need them, meh, then that is ok.

pro life

They're not pro life, if they were they'd be for safe legal abortions and comprehensive sex education.

Don't ensble the anti abortion novement by using the lying name they give themselves.

And they don't get the Scripture right either. Willful ignorance of how their God metes out their immortal human souls is a grievous sin. And promulgating their Error condemns others deceived by their heresy to Damnation.

Can a group really call themselves pro-life when they are okay with children starving, dying of cancer, okay with executing people, okay with wars, and okay with killing innocent civilians in those wars (so long as they are of the wrong religion)?

Anyway, I don't see why everyone thinks they're entitled to NOT have their tax payer dollars go toward abortion. I find the Iraq War Reprehensible, yet my tax dollars went toward it.

Women dying horribly from cancer because the foetus they carry wouldn'd survive the chemo (this is catholic doctrine, which says that if a foetus terminates as a side effect of necessary meducal treatment, then no doctor should give that treatment even if neither mother nor foetus survive)

[vorlon13]

And scripture is CLEAR, that foetus is UNENSOLED !!

The mother is !!!

They are promulgating HERESY !!!!!
