This is family policy matter program is produced by the North Carolina family policy Council of profamily research and education organization dedicated to strengthening and preserving the family and up from the studio here is John Rustin, Pres. North Carolina family policy Council, thank you for joining us this week.

Profamily policy matters.

We are delighted to welcome Lorena Grossi to the program arena is the director of the Center for human dignity at family research Council in Washington DC where she focuses on sanctity of human life issues ranging from conception to end-of-life care.

She has appeared in various media outlets, including USA Today national Catholic register Washington Times and the Congressional quarterly arena is with us today to talk about the ongoing undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood by the pro-life Center for medical progress director David delayed and has been under fire about abortion-rights groups and is presently facing potential criminal charges following an indictment will be talking with Serena about the latest in this case, as well as a new report that arena altered for the family research Council entitled investigating Planned Parenthood in research using aborted babies arena. Welcome back to family policy matters. It's great to have you with us again.

Well were so grateful for the work that you do and that FRC does and especially for this new report before we talk about the report, however, update us briefly on what is happening in the David delayed in case. Several lawsuits have been filed by abortion groups and a grand jury recently in Houston, Texas indicted the laden and a coinvestigator rather than Planned Parenthood for the atrocities that delayed and then others had uncovered through their videos. What's the latest status of all of this right in turn affect their mind questioning he went to the courthouse. There and perk it down. They have a hearing back from March 28 before Judge Tommy and his lawyer going to be filing a cup of motion that the target of your snack at one because there accurately going.

One of the points of her raised regarding the indictment of David delighting in his coinvestigator is that journalists regularly engage in the cons of undercover investigative techniques that he did with Planned Parenthood, including using false IDs. Are we seeing a double standard here, especially in terms of how the mainstream media is responding to this indictment. The question we parted.

Definitely improving on lighting, questioning, and right to freedom of the prank gone by eight is undercover internally for ever and and actually lawyer bad tactics delighted used are no different from Mike. While I cannot investigative generals that had been using it for nine years. Using a logic applied by Harris County DAs office every report on 2020 guilty and got different for me to Kate that he is being unfairly treated because covering Planned Parenthood, we need just to the parent and really think Karen has to be the one that is thinking of Dana charted the messenger of what my parent feeling well.

I couldn't agree more and we will continue to pray and hopefully a very positive turnout in this case and it turned out that it is appropriate for all that has come to light. With respect to Planned Parenthood's inhumane atrocities and we certainly will continue to follow this case with great interest and appreciate that update the billing I want to switch gears a little bit now and have you tell us about the purpose of the new report that FRC just released on Planned Parenthood. Bell reported neck and can provide information that we have a public document, and any primary documents that show the link between 20 point count affiliate and the abortion industry and 10 collecting aborted baby Oregon Looking to biotech companies that want collecting and then failing 1930, but also that you are there entities. The aborted baby, Oregon. We really break into that and uncover invoices and letter and procurement log and anything else that has become part of public record. Now that we can really show that this is happening even though my parent has denied in the report, you know during the past five years and you mention this just a moment ago. 20 Planned Parenthood affiliates who participated in fetal tissue harvesting programs using the remains of aborted babies tell us about this finding and the relationship between biotech companies and other tissue procurement organizations and Planned Parenthood 20) affiliate have been involved in the past five years in selling or harvesting of aborted baby Oregon and they are very much quickly tried everything and express advanced bioscience resources and other biotech companies. The plaintiff is once they obtain aborted baby Oregon from Planned Parenthood another abortion facility work with different universities and we have letters between researchers at different universities and biotech companies. And we also mean that the NIH and FDA has given grant for such research at the University. For example, they never let it get there. The professor who has achieved over 3.8 million taxpayer funds in 2001 to do research involving human fetal brain and other other organs from babies to companies and universities.

Have you found all participating in this conductivity we have elected about eight biotech companies that are many everything involved as one article that was published saying that in 2014 around the NIH spent 76 million on human fetal tissue research and made grants to more than 50 universities, including Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, etc. etc. and they spent about that much annually in studies biotech companies. The reason that they are is because there is a demand whether the demand comes from universities or other corporations that are testing their drugs on eye using using aborted baby Oregon.

There, there is they are responding to the demand and and unfortunately the fact that NIH Karen is against 76 million a year in grant for this type of research is very disturbing, will it absolutely does also report you detail the state-level responses to Planned Parenthood's harvesting and alleged illegal sale of aborted baby body parts. States have launched investigations and/or started the process to defund Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars as a result of the release of these videos produced by the Center for medical progress. Planned Parenthood and their defining contact and wanted Ohio.

We know that New Hampshire) for $50,000 on in terms of investigation that deeper that different date and to keep gag. They find charges against Planned Parenthood for things like illegal dumping of remains. Baby remains into rant cells and, for example, in Florida. They found that a few of the Planned Parenthood facilities were doing abortions past the second trimester limit. Congress is also responded by launching a number of investigations and holding several hearings tell us about those feelings about come so for, and the role that you are FRC may have played in those investigations and hearings are ongoing. There are flat-panel was started back in December of last year to look into the practice of Planned Parenthood to continue to investigate. Look at the federal level and looking at the state level, front pants pocket and what they're looking for specifically.

It to me Planned Parenthood making a profit off of the sale of baby Oregon to our dying in their affiliate responsible for changing abortion method and risking women's lives that they can get more in fact parts at some of the videos that David delighting recorded show three babies being born alive and then killed on and completely against the law protecting them. Once the baby is born alive.

The baby is supposed to be protected and is protected by the law and felt they are looking into is the if these violations are taking place and I'll still looking into the industry of the tissue procurement Corporation biotech companies that government involvement and the funding of such research and exit at the pretty expansive investigation probably take about a year well in each of the circumstances that you raised profiting from the sale of baby body parts, amending the abortion procedure in order to procure more impact Bridgeport and also taking over the life of an unborn child who may be born alive. Those will all volleyed federal laws that are currently in places that are correct.

That's right held looking for and gathering a lot of information on individual affiliate as well as from other facilities that are not traded with Pauline.

As you know, just recently a bill passed the US Congress that would be fun. Planned Parenthood of a significant portion of the federal taxpayer dollars that that organization receives annually. The bill made it to Pres. Obama's desk and unfortunately but not unexpectedly, he vetoed the measure really unbelievable considering the matters at hand, but he did and in the U.S. House attempted to respond to that to override the president's veto, but unfortunately fill the most of the super majority vote necessary to enact out override what happened in these procedures and despite the failure of the veto override. What is the passage of this bill so significant, especially as we look to the future of the pro-life movement in our country that would pro-life failed to reach Obama back and take a direct action renew how your dressing is going to go but you have to say for himself very directly, which languages and we are very hopeful that without pro-life president artist because legislation is going to sign into law until we look forward to the day when we will have a pelletizing. We are grateful for all of the pro-life Members who did vote on and in favor of writing the veto that we were actually very hopeful Internet cycle. But we have to especially right now focus our efforts on electing a public will understand the despite the failure to be told what has happened is a precedent has been created for the passage again of legislation identical or very similar to what has passed. It really puts the moral obligation for the decision right at the desk of the president of the United States and so the president has been so Pres. Obama bears a moral responsibility for his actions and our next president will do the same.

Assuming the Congress passes a similar bill, which we expect that they will do is really important to look in the longer term focus. This is not the first time that the legislation will be presented to the president so we certainly look forward to seeing up a much more positive outcome in the future. No arena before we go for listeners who are interested in taking a stand for life. What are some ways that they can help support David delighting and continue to raise awareness about the atrocities being committed by Planned Parenthood of everyone should become more informed on all of their issues involving David writing Kate and Guy if they are interested they can go there that are FRC.org/Planned Parenthood investigation to get a copy of my initial analysis in terms of standing with David delighting as a petition to get a guy like Satan is that now has over hundred 10,000 signatures and yesterday hundred thousand signatures were delivered to the DA and looking to deliver to double that number so people can go to my site is to sign a petition of quite people can pray and then promotes the hashtag is I stand with David and continue to talk with friends and family and continue to talk about Planned Parenthood that the city we can do our part. Sure, social media, and with our friends and family that it does not remain hidden you doing such a great job were so appreciative of it. If you want to give more people website where folks can go to get a copy of the report and also working to go to learn more about the family research Council reported that www.rt.org/plannedparenthood investigations greatly can also go to just FRC.org and also if you are willing and able to play outside abortion facility letter Planned Parenthood are just the local abortion 30 present panic at different gifting present five abortion facility praying picking and signing the petition online. I like that is any of those things are going to continue to promote the pro-life message.

Thank you so much for being with us on family policy matters unfortunately were out of were so grateful for the excellent work that you do and that FRC does to take a stand to defend the site to be of human life in our nation.
