<p>According to a Washington Times report, 50 Senators, led by Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa, have signed letter to the Department of Health and Human Services calling for an investigation of Planned Parenthood.  ;The letter references the harvesting and sale of human body parts from abortions conducted at Planned Parenthood facilities, and challenges those practices with respect to federal law.</p>
<p>The Senators wrote: &#8220;The footage raises a number of questions about the practices of the organization, including whether they are in compliance with federal laws regulating both the use of fetal tissue and partial-birth abortions. In addition to questions about Planned Parenthood&rsquo;s compliance with applicable federal law and medical ethics, we believe the footage prompts important policy questions surrounding the issue of abortions permitted so late in a pregnancy &mdash; sometimes even later than 5 months &mdash; that an unborn baby&rsquo;s organs can be identified and harvested.&#8221;</p>
<p>PBP <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/rand-paul-intends-to-close-planned-parenthood/" target="_blank"><strong>reported five days ago</strong></a> Senator Rand Paul is introducing a bill to pull over $500 million of federal funding from Planned Parenthood after a second video was released where an Planned Parenthod executive described the ghoulish sale of body parts.</p>
<p>Presidential candidate Carly Fiorino spoke up during her campaign, describing this as &#8220;moral depravity&#8221; and setting herself distinct from Hillary Clinton who made vague and unspecific comments in support of the organization.</p>
<p>Despite the flurry and fury of reporting in the conservative media, the three major networks ABC, NBC and CBS are maintaining their liberal bias and giving the story only a passing nod.  ;The Washington Times reports they have provided a total of only 9 minutes and 11 seconds of coverage to the issue. ;</p>
