Thirty-four Republican state legislators have signed a letter asking Attorney General Bob Ferguson to investigate Planned Parenthood over allegations of selling fetal tissue.
Thirty-four Republican state representatives have asked state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to investigate whether Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state have illegally profited from the sale of fetal body parts.
In a letter to Ferguson, a Democrat, the GOP lawmakers cited controversial undercover video of a national Planned Parenthood medical director eating lunch while discussing procedures and prices for delivering tissues from aborted fetuses to researchers.
Regardless of anyone’s views on legalized abortion, “a civilized society cannot tolerate unethical medical practices such as the harvesting of human organs for monetary gain,” the letter said.
