The Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives has been investigating potential violations of the federal law that makes it illegal to sell fetal tissue – that’s body parts – for profit. The evidence reviewed reveals appalling practices. For example, on video, we saw one Planned Parenthood doctor talking about doing “less crunchy” methods of abortion without the consent of the woman. This was to make sure they had intact body parts to sell. The gruesome practices the Panel discovered shock the conscience. Where does this end? It was startling to learn that the taxpayer-funded University of New Mexico had a summer program for high school students in which students dissected the brains of unborn children. Think about that. We are talking about high school students – 16-year-olds – dissecting the brains of someone within the age group of their own siblings. What barbarity are we teaching our children? The Select Panel must move forward with its investigation into these alarming violations of law and assaults on human dignity and conscience. It is incumbent upon us as elected leaders, and more simply, as human beings with well-formed consciences, to complete this investigation and bring about justice in these cases. Thank you. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
