JEFFERSON CITY • Two Republican state lawmakers from Missouri announced plans Friday to investigate the state's only abortion facility after anti-abortion activists released an undercover video showing Planned Parenthood's national medical director discussing the disposition of parts from aborted fetuses.

The video, which shows Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's senior director of medical services, discussing procedures for providing fetal body parts to researchers, has spurred outrage from a number of Republican elected officials nationwide.

While the commercial sale of fetal tissue is outlawed, Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions and other reproductive health services, said in response to the video that it legally helps women who want to make not-for-profit donations of their fetus' organs for scientific research.

Gov Nixon of Missouri is a tool of the Obama administration and Planned Parenthood. Birds of a feather..........you know what I'm trying to say.........these people are godless and will have to answer, not in this life, but the next. .

So many in MO say they are conservative; then they elect the wrong Nixon. And that awful senator; we need Todd Akin back.

At least several of our legislators are investigating the only abortion mill in the state. Are your legislators doing anything in regard to this issue in your state?

Yeah, sigh, Nixon is a lib, as is McCaskill and Clever and.... and our metro areas elect decidedly leftist candidates and we are working on it (but as Jefferson alluded, large cities are beds of sickness, more or less).

Best;

More videos will be released soon. The MSM can’t ignore it forever.

With James O’Keefe, they hoped that it would go away but he was brilliant in staggering the release of his videos.

You are right about Nixon and wrong about Akin. He was a fool and overestimated his ability to deal with media. I gave him money year after year and he should have known better as he was out there for years but never learned anything. It is a tragic loss that Claire was re-elected when another candidate might have won. Akin is political toast.
