Investigating Planned Parenthood and Research Using Aborted Babies

The purpose of this issue analysis is to investigate Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices and its harvesting of aborted babies.  This information is meant to synthesize what we know of Planned Parenthood, its aborted baby parts harvesting, the operations of biotech companies involved in this industry, and its end consumers, including NIH and FDA taxpayer-funded programs.  Planned Parenthood performs about 30 percent of all abortions in the U.S.

Part II shows state abortion limits.
