Following the release of a video revealing Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services discussing the sale of fetal body parts, Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) released the following statement denouncing the organization’s practices.

As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Latta will support his colleagues in an investigation of Planned Parenthood.

“The practices of Planned Parenthood revealed in this video are nothing short of appalling. Federal law prohibits the sale of fetal body parts for profit. I appreciate Chairman Upton of the Energy and Commerce Committee and Chairman Goodlatte of the Judiciary Committee for announcing the launch of an investigation into this matter, and will join my colleagues in conducting a thorough investigation of Planned Parenthood. I know that the Committees will address Planned Parenthood’s actions in a swift manner.”

Note: Congressman Latta joined over a 120 House colleagues last week in signing a letter to Chairman Upton and Chairman Goodlatte up the announcement of the investigation.
