Statement from Lila Rose on lawsuit against Planned Parenthood partners by Orange County, D.A.

ARLINGTON, VA (Oct. 13, 2016) — The Orange County, California, district attorney filed suit today against DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics, two companies that partnered with Planned Parenthood, which supplied them with the body parts of the babies it aborted. The lawsuit alleges that the companies illegally profited off the aborted baby body parts. In response to the district attorney’s lawsuit, Lila Rose, president and founder of the national pro-life organization Live Action, released the following statement:

“Today, the Orange County district attorney announced its lawsuit against two of Planned Parenthood’s trusted allies and business partners, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics. For eight years, Planned Parenthood partnered with DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics in their grisly scheme to harvest and traffick in the body parts of the babies Planned Parenthood aborted.

“I commend the Orange County district attorney, and I hope this sets a precedent for prosecutors and law enforcement across the nation.  Abortion is a barbaric and cruel practice, and it should come as no surprise that those callous enough to profit off killing defenseless children in the womb would allegedly profit off selling their organs piecemeal.  It’s time to end these grave human rights abuses against our most vulnerable children and bring those responsible to justice.”
