New Orleans - As Planned Parenthood makes progress this week in New Orleans towards building their multimillion dollar regional abortion facility, news has broken across the country about a video showing that Planned Parenthood is involved in the selling of body parts of unborn babies aborted at Planned Parenthood abortion facilities. Learn more information on the video here. 

   

"There has long been suspicion that Planned Parenthood is involved in the selling of body parts after an abortion. Now, the proof has been caught on video in Planned Parenthood's own words. This revelation is just one more piece of evidence that Planned Parenthood is a profit-driven abortion business looking to sell more abortions in our nation," said Louisiana Right to Life Executive Director Benjamin Clapper.

After the release of the allegations, Governor Bobby Jindal announced that he is directing the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to launch an investigation into Planned Parenthood. Jindal stated, "Today's video of a Planned Parenthood official discussing the systematic harvesting and trafficking of human body parts is shocking and gruesome.  This same organization is seeking to open an abortion clinic in New Orleans.  I have instructed Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals to conduct an immediate investigation into this alleged evil and illegal activity and to not issue any licenses until this investigation is complete.  I am also asking the FBI to assist DHH in investigating this alleged criminal activity by this organization."

Benjamin Clapper said, "We are appreciative of Governor Jindal's leadership in directing the launch of this investigation. We do not need this type of illegal business in our state. If this is what Planned Parenthood intends to do at their abortion facility in New Orleans, Louisiana does not want any part in it."
