Missouri AG finds no evidence Planned Parenthood mishandled fetal tissue
Source: Reuters
An investigation in Missouri found no evidence that Planned Parenthood's St. Louis clinic mishandled fetal tissue or engaged in unlawful activity, Attorney General Chris Koster's office said on Monday.
Koster's office had launched an investigation after an anti-abortion group released videos over the summer alleging that Planned Parenthood in other states illegally sold fetal tissue.
"The evidence reviewed by my investigators supports Planned Parenthood's representation that fetal tissue is handled in accordance with Missouri law," Koster said in a news release. "We have discovered no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Planned Parenthood's St. Louis facility is selling fetal tissue."
The Attorney General's Office interviewed workers at Planned Parenthood, the only licensed surgical abortion facility in Missouri, and reviewed documents from all 317 abortions during a 30-day audit, according to the statement. The investigation found that all tissue from abortions was examined at a pathology lab then incinerated.

(6,386 posts)I'm sure we'll hear that from her campaign soon.
It just frustrates me so much some times that there are so many people who can put so much effort into denying facts.
On a side note - it's time for my annual "will the tux still fit dance" in preparation for SW Ohio's Planned Parenthood event this weekend. Should be lots of fun conversation given that the state of Ohio (that would be Kasich's Ohio) just shut them down here. Not sure if it's true but the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Cincinnati is now the largest metropolitan area without a provider of pregnancy termination services. Sheesh.

(764 posts)If the fake videos are proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt people are going to run away from the republican party. The truth is finally coming out, been waiting years for this.

(764 posts)They are probably not going change. I am more concerned with mainstream conservative voters. Those are the ones that I hope are getting fed up with the Republican insanity and might take a second look at the political parties in 2015 and decide their vote after reasonable evaluation of the issues and not out of programed fear and hatred as many Fox viewers do..

Remember when you actually needed some to smear another?
Now all you needed are heavily edited tapes produced by folks with an open agenda, or heavily promoted email follies also blown up into a smear.
No evidence required, or wanted.

(764 posts)They been pushing lies for too long now some of their mainstream people are waking up and more and more conservative voters distrust the GOP and their false soundbites. Hope the democrats jump on this and tell everyone the GOP lies are more about fear and hatred than truth or even evidence.
