Is Planned Parenthood purging staffers connected to aborted baby parts scandal? An analysis of\u00a0recently retired Planned Parenthood staffers, conducted by the pro-life group Operation Rescue, may indicate that the largest provider of abortions is cleaning house of anyone exposed by the investigative journalism of the Center for Medical Progress as being connected to the trafficking and harvesting of aborted baby parts. “[O]ut of 21 executive and senior leaders mentioned in Planned Parenthood\u2019s latest annual report<\/a>… 13 are new hires or promotions from within that were previously not included in Cecile Richard\u2019s upper organizational echelons,” Operation Rescue<\/a> found.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the\u00a0Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released video footage which captured a number of high ranking Planned Parenthood officials involved in the grisly body parts scandal.\u00a0Operation Rescue president, Troy Newman, who served as a founding board member for CMP while the undercover investigation took place, speculates that\u00a0Planned Parenthood’s staffers may be “are running from prosecution” and feels the changes\u00a0may be related to an ongoing FBI investigation of the abortion corporation.<\/p>\n

“In December 2015, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives both referred the Planned Parenthood Federation of American and six regional affiliates to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation and prosecution for the illegal sale of aborted baby parts and other federal crimes,”\u00a0the\u00a0report<\/a> states.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty much every one who had anything to do with the trafficking of aborted babies is gone from Planned Parenthood, including their CEO Cecile Richards,” Newman said.<\/p>\n

A review of OR’s partial list<\/a>\u00a0of retired PP staffers (seen below) makes a compelling case for OR’s\u00a0 suspicions.<\/p>\n

The pro-life group noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[T]here is information from highly placed sources that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may have provided cover for Planned Parenthood, delaying the investigation. It is no coincidence that many resignations took place after the firing of McCabe in January 2018… now with the confirmation of Attorney General William Barr<\/a> and the March departure of Rosenstein, that may change.<\/em><\/p>\n

National Abortion Federation (NAF) CEO Vicki Saporta has also\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0plans to retire. NAF, whose employees recently accused<\/a>\u00a0the organization of ignoring sexual harassment,\u00a0filed their\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0against CMP after the group’s undercover journalists attended a NAF event. Live Action News then\u00a0documented<\/a>\u00a0the hypocrisy of NAF, since CMP’s\u00a0investigative methods have been used by other journalists, investigators, and the abortion industry itself.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood has been embroiled in numerous\u00a0scandals, abuses and fraud,<\/a>\u00a0including\u00a0covering<\/a>\u00a0up for child sexual predators and disgruntled employees<\/a>\u00a0reporting a toxic work environment and pregnancy discrimination. As a result, the corporation appointed new CEO\u00a0Dr. Leana Wen<\/a>, who is restructuring<\/a>\u00a0while reassuring supporters that\u00a0abortion\u00a0remains PP’s \u201ccore mission.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
