Planned Parenthood fetal remains found in landfills.
Quote:
Fetal remains from three Planned Parenthood facilities in Ohio were sent to companies that then disposed of them in landfills in violation of state administrative rules, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said on Friday.
DeWine, who launched a state investigation after an anti-abortion group released videos it said showed Planned Parenthood officials negotiating prices for fetal tissues, said his probe found no indication that affiliates in Ohio sold fetal tissue.
“Disposing of aborted fetuses from an abortion by sending them to a landfill is callous and completely inhumane,” DeWine said in a news release. “It is important the public be aware that these practices are taking place at these Ohio facilities.”
Stephanie Kight, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, questioned DeWine’s announcement.
“Planned Parenthood contracts with vendors to handle fetal tissue in a respectful manner and in accordance with the law. It is irresponsible for the AG to say otherwise,” Kight said in a statement.
DeWine’s spokesman Dan Tierney said that while Planned Parenthood contracts with medical waste companies to handle the fetal remains, the three affiliates have the obligation as surgical facilities to ensure humane disposal.
The Ohio attorney general "found no indication that affiliates in Ohio sold fetal tissue," so he had to justify his pointless probe into Planned Parenthood somehow and this is the best he could come up with.
Let me guess: He's planning to run for higher office.
