Planned Parenthood Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged Fetal Organ Donations

planned-parenthood-controversy-320

Planned Parenthood is facing several official investigations following the release of a secretly taped video that shows one of its executives discussing how the group provides medical researchers with the organs of aborted fetuses. The video was made public by the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress, which called it proof that Planned Parenthood profits from the illegal sale of fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood said the video misrepresented its work. It insisted there is no financial benefit to donating fetal tissue for research and that it has the consent of patients. The video has prompted an outcry from many Catholics and evangelicals.
