We are urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly supporters) before the end of October to help save babies from abortion 365 days a year. Your first gift as a Life Defender today will be DOUBLED. Click here to make your monthly commitment.
Kansas remains committed to a culture that respects the dignity of life at all stages. Recent videos show Planned Parenthood employees treating the unborn as commodities as they discuss the sale of tissue and organs. This does not reflect the culture of life most Kansans want.
We now call upon the Kansas Board of Healing Arts to address the issue of sale of tissue and organs from the unborn in its inspections of Kansas medical offices.
Governor Brownback continued:
Human life has dignity at all stages of life. Senate Bill 95, banning dismemberment abortion in Kansas, prevents the barbaric procedure of dismembering an unborn child.
We must remind ourselves and others that unborn children are just that – children – with certain inalienable rights that we must respect and protect.
Kansas joins Ohio, Indiana, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia, and Missouri in opening investigations since the first two videos have been released. It is likely more states will follow suit.
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
Meanwhile, upon release of the second video, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he will expand the initial investigation. The Dallas Morning News reports, “The Texas Senate Health and Human Services committee will meet July 29 to discuss and investigate Planned Parenthood’s role in fetal tissue donation.”
The committee will consider recommendations to strengthen regulations on abortion providers, including further restrictions on the sale of fetal tissue by these entities.
Yesterday, Pennsylvania lawmakers requested that their Attorney General, Kathleen Kane, announce an investigation into Planned Parenthood. According to The Morning Call, Kane’s office has stated they are reviewing the request. Minnesota lawmakers have followed suit, asking Governor Mark Dayton to investigate Planned Parenthood, though recent reports says he has refused.
One thing is clear, these videos are causing multiple investigations and questions – something that is long overdue.
