Center for Medical Progress released a July 2014 video on July 14, 2015 documenting allegations made against Planned Parenthood for selling aborted fetus organs and body parts.

AUSTIN — Today, Representative John Wray (R-Waxahachie) released this statement regarding the alleged harvest and sale of aborted baby tissue by Planned Parenthood:

"The recent video showing Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services explaining their so-called "donation" of aborted baby tissue is morally repugnant and demands further investigation into the legality of these operations.

Planned Parenthood advertises their devotion to women's healthcare, but in reality, is profiting from the women they claim to protect. This video reveals significant conflicts of interest and renders them unable to provide health care that prioritizes the well-being of their patients above all else.

Texas has taken steps to protect women's health and the unborn by removing Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program in 2011 and from the state's Breast and Cervical Cancer Services Program this year. I support the Governor and the Attorney General in their calls for immediate investigations into these practices. I will always defend a culture of life and will continue to fight against organizations that leverage women's health to further their own warped ideology for financial profit."
