<\/div>

Following the release of the Center for Medical Progress’s<\/a> bombshell videos exposing that Planned Parenthood was breaking numerous laws<\/a> as part of their side business trafficking in the body parts of aborted babies, Colorado officials announced<\/a> they wouldn\u2019t be bothering to investigate\u2014Attorney General Cynthia Coffman passed the buck to the state health department, which punted.<\/p>\n

Since then, pro-lifers in the Centennial State have tried to rectify the situation via HB 1200<\/a>, which would give the attorney general\u2019s office the authority to investigate fetal tissue transfers on its own, without the Department of Public Health and Environment having to take the lead. Unfortunately, Colorado Family Action brings word<\/a> that the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee has killed the bill in a 5-4, party-line vote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CFA\u2019s Michael Norton explains why this bill was so important:<\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately, to date, no Colorado Executive Branch agency has taken responsibility for the enforcement of current Colorado law. When pressed to investigate the patently illegal conduct by Denver’s Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in the Center for Medical Progress video, the Colorado Attorney General acknowledged that she was \u201cclosely monitor[ing] developments related to this controversy.\u201d The Attorney General contended that, unless she was specifically requested by the Governor to investigate this \u201ccontroversy,\u201d she \u201clack[ed] authority to enforce\u201d the provisions of C.R.S. 25-2-111.5.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s another detail that makes this vote more damning than the obstructionism of pro-aborts in other states. While most of Planned Parenthood\u2019s apologists hide behind<\/a> excuses like \u201cthe videos at worst show isolated incidents that have nothing to do with us\u201d or \u201cour state doesn\u2019t even have a tissue donation program\u201d (never mind that PP hasn’t truly come clean<\/a> on how many states did have programs), Colorado happens to be the home of Planned Parenthood\u2019s Rocky Mountains affiliate\u2026 one of the stars of the CMP videos.<\/p>\n

\"NewDefundAd3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PPRM\u2019s vice president and medical director Savita Ginde was caught on tape<\/a> acknowledging it was \u201ca baby\u201d she was hacking up for parts, alluding to killing \u201cintact\u201d\u2014i.e., born<\/em>\u2014babies for parts, referencing forms that say the parts are collected for nonexistent studies, and discussing payment \u201cper-item\u201d so \u201cwe can see how much we can get out of it\u201d\u2014profit, not cost reimbursement.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is one of the worst offenders in this entire scandal; there is no conceivable reason to vote against investigating them other than rank favoritism toward a political ally. (And that\u2019s before we even get into PPRM\u2019s various offenses<\/a> unrelated to the CMP videos\u2014forced abortion, enabling a 13-year-old\u2019s rapist, misuse of tax dollars, and more.)<\/p>\n

Because the committee\u2019s abortion apologists were acting out of partisan allegiance rather than principle, it\u2019s only natural their dereliction of duty was accompanied by dishonesty, as recounted by a Colorado Family Action email:<\/p>\n

\n

During the hearing, Rep. [Dianne] Primavera [D] attempted to justify Planned Parenthood’s importance by stating that they perform mammograms. Norton, a former U.S. attorney, had to clarify for the representative that Planned Parenthood does not even have the required licensing to perform mammograms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seriously? Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards admitted way back in September<\/a> that her organization doesn\u2019t offer mammograms. So how is it that six months later, her followers in elected office think they can get away with such an obsolete lie? (Then again, the President of the United States gets away with<\/a> repeating it despite it having been debunked years beforehand, so\u2026)<\/p>\n

\n

Rep. [Susan] Lontine [D] also interrupted Rep. Ransom’s opening statement regarding HB 1200 and argued that the lawsuit regarding Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountain’s alleged cover-up of the rape of a 13-year-old minor girl had nothing to do with investigating the abortion giant and indicated that it did not cast suspicions on their business practices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Blatant disregard for the welfare of a teenage girl in their care tells us nothing about the organization\u2019s willingness to put their self-interests above their patients in other ways? Knowing it flouted the law on reporting statutory rape is doesn\u2019t suggest it\u2019s capable of flouting the laws regulating fetal organs?<\/p>\n

\n

The chair of the committee, Rep. Su Ryden, also said she believed Rep. Ransom’s bill was a witch hunt intended to go after abortion providers, specifically Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, because only the ears of a partisan extremist could possibly perk up at the sound<\/a> of a suspect saying things like \u201cJust a registration that says we\u2019re doing it for study [\u2026] it\u2019s not a real study.\u201d Or \u201cA lot of times I\u2018ll get a full torso, spine, kidneys. You could send the whole thing or pick that apart.\u201d Sure.<\/p>\n

Many public officials across the country have disgraced themselves in response to these revelations about Planned Parenthood, but arguably few have done so as egregiously as these five Colorado lawmakers\u2014Ryden, Lontine, Primavera, Mike Foote, and Max Tyler. They know<\/em> that almost unthinkable evil is happening in their state, yet choose to do nothing. It\u2019s the latest reminder that the price of embracing Planned Parenthood and its alleged benefits is nothing less than one\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
