Marsha Blackburn, has been conducting investigations into the alleged fetal body parts market in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u00a0opposition from pro-abortion politicians and\u00a0the <a href=\"\/news\/pro-abortion-media-continues-call-end-select-investigative-panel-infant-lives\/\">pro-abortion media<\/a>, on Wednesday, the House Committee on Administration voted to more than double the Panel&#8217;s budget. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2016\/11\/16\/republcians-double-budget-house-planned-parenthood-probe\/93986092\/\">USA Today<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the objection of Democrats, the House Committee on Administration voted Wednesday to approve\u00a0an additional $800,000 for the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives. The money is in addition to the panel\u2019s previously approved $790,000 budget and puts it on track to spend more than $1.5 million by the end of the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd1\"><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_by_250_top_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0\" class=\"ArticleAd1a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since the beginning of its investigations, the Panel has encountered resistance. Earlier this month, after the Panel requested relevant documents from notorious\u00a0abortionist <a href=\"\/news\/late-term-abortionist-congressional-investigation-witch-hunt-every-day-struggle-survival\/\">Warren Hern<\/a>, &#8220;infamous as one of the few doctors in the nation who will abort a baby late into the third trimester,&#8221; Hern referred to the investigation as a &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221; Hern went so far\u00a0as to\u00a0claim he fears for his life under\u00a0a pro-life government.<\/p>\n<p>StemExpress, a fetal tissue procurement agency which has allegedly\u00a0been linked to the fetal body parts market, also appeared to attempt to stonewall the Panel after receiving requests for relevant documents. In May, Blackburn sent a <a href=\"\/news\/blackburn-demands-stemexpress-ceo-stop-stonewalling-baby-parts-investigation\/\">letter<\/a> to StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer &#8211; who\u00a0appeared in the Center for Medical Progress&#8217; undercover videos discussing the procurement of \u201cintact\u201d aborted\u00a0fetuses &#8211; urging StemExpress to cooperate with investigators.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, the Panel is set to conclude investigations and release a final report by the end of the year. However, with the Panel&#8217;s budget now doubled, a pro-life Congress and president about to take office, and pro-lifers urging Speaker Paul Ryan to allow the Panel&#8217;s investigations to <a href=\"\/news\/pro-life-group-urges-continuation-select-panel-investigating-fetal-tissue-trafficking\/\">continue<\/a>, it is possible that\u00a0investigations could be extended into the next legislative season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since last year&#8217;s release of undercover videos indicating possible involvement by Planned Parenthood officials in the sale of aborted fetal body parts, the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, chaired by pro-life Rep.
