Florida Governor Orders Inspections of Planned Parenthoods

Source: ABC News


Florida Gov. Rick Scott is ordering state health officials to inspect Planned Parenthood offices to ensure they are obeying the law when performing abortions.

The announcement came after the release of videos secretly recorded by an anti-abortion group showed Planned Parenthood officials describing their procedures for providing tissue from aborted fetuses for research.

Scott says it's against the law for any organizations to sell body parts. The Republican governor said the state will take quick legal and regulatory action against any of the 16 facilities found in violation.

face palm. yeah this will get ugly. one website says should people who work for PP be worried about their lives. I think so. They honestly believe they are saving lives here. smh being led by Fox types they have no idea what they might be doing. which is actually the opposite 97 % supported by stuff they buy and have zero intention of boycotting.

Republican politicians don't give two shits about abortion (or even one), but they know how to get the stupid to go out and vote for them.

A group of anti-abortion hackers -- led by one who was identified as "E" by The Daily Dot, which first reported the story -- obtained data such as employees' email addresses and gained access to Planned Parenthood databases on Sunday night, the Dot reported.

"E" told The Daily Dot that the hack was motivated by the edited videos that surfaced this month. In the footage, Planned Parenthood officials speak about their group's work in tissue-donation programs. Conservatives and abortion foes have slammed the organization over the clips, and Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards, has apologized for the tone used in the videos..................
