The Department of Justice has launched a formal investigation into evidence that Planned Parenthood illegally profited from the sale of fetal tissue from aborted babies. And already it is being dismissed as a witch hunt.
The DOJ is merely the latest organization to take part in a two-year investigation of the U.S. fetal-tissue-trafficking industry — an investigation prompted by a series of undercover videos released in July 2015 by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). In part, the videos showed meetings between CMP members — posing as buyers from biotech firms — and high-level Planned Parenthood employees discussing the illegal purchase of fetal organs of aborted babies.
