Planned Parenthood Put on Notice: Trump Confirms Possible Criminal Investigation Into Baby Body Parts Scandal
On March 25, President Trump addressed a significant issue regarding Planned Parenthood and the potential for a criminal investigation into allegations of illegal activities related to baby organ harvesting.
• President Trump was questioned about investigating Planned Parenthood's practices if the organization were defunded. He confirmed, "We’ll look into it, we’re going to look into everything. "
• In 2015, undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress suggested that Planned Parenthood was involved in illegal profit-making from the trafficking of tissue and organs from aborted babies.
• Despite the evidence and two Congressional investigations referring the matter to the U. S. Department of Justice, Planned Parenthood did not face federal charges.
• Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, criticized Planned Parenthood for avoiding prosecution and stated that their political influence is declining as their clinics struggle and employee concerns rise about work conditions and donation use.
• On the same day as Trump's statement, reports indicated a potential $20 million funding freeze for Planned Parenthood due to a review by Health and Human Services concerning the organization's use of funds.
• Newman called for investigations and prosecutions regarding Planned Parenthood's practices, describing the organization as a "criminal organization masquerading as healthcare. "
The announcement of a possible investigation into Planned Parenthood marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of the organization. As discussions on funding and accountability arise, many advocate for thorough inquiries into the allegations against Planned Parenthood.
