One hundred and thirty-seven members of the U. S. House of Representatives signed a letter asking United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate Planned Parenthood and in a Big Jolly Politics exclusive you can read the July 27, 2015 letter here and confirm your Congressman signed the letter.
First signed by Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee the letter emphasizes the release of the first two Planned Parenthood videos which show Planned Parenthood Federation of America leadership in conversation with individuals interested in purchasing baby body parts (“fetal body parts”).
The letter cites 42 U.S.C. 289g-2 noting “it shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive or otherwise transfer and human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.” Violators may be “imprisoned for not more than 10 years.”
Referencing the PPFA website, the letter further discloses that PPFA is a tax-exempt corporation organized under section 501 ( c ) (3) with 45{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986} of PPFA revenue —$540.6 million—provided by U.S. taxpayers.
