On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared Planned Parenthood the innocent victims of the Center for Medical Progress videos<\/a> showing top officials discussing apparent trafficking in aborted babies\u2019 organs, the Daily Caller reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood has as its top priority women\u2019s health,\u201d the former Speaker of the House said, complaining that \u201cfor some reason, the Republicans have had this in their sights\u2026 for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Noting that \u201cPlanned Parenthood has said they have done nothing illegal,\u201d she went on to repeat the abortion giant\u2019s defense: \u201cThey did not ever charge, which would be illegal, for fetal tissue. That they\u2019ve only used \u2014 only have defrayed the cost of mailing that to someone, which is not breaking the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi then went so far as to suggest that the Center for Medical Progress is the organization that should be investigated: \u201cLets have an investigation of those people who are trying to ensnare Planned Parenthood in a controversy that doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the Democrat leader\u2019s contention that Planned Parenthood only received reimbursement for costs, critics have questioned why they would need to negotiate prices \u201cbig enough that it makes it worthwhile for me<\/a>\u201d rather than simply tallying the actual expenses involved in each transaction.<\/p>\n

Other potential crimes federal and state investigators hope to clarify include whether Planned Parenthood has been violating the federal ban on the partial-birth abortion procedure to obtain organs or altering their techniques to prioritize the procurement of intact organs over women\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
