The following comes from a September 21 Christian Newswire article:
The Select Congressional Panel created to investigate Planned Parenthood voted unanimously today to recommend that Congress hold StemExpress and its CEO, Cate Dyer, in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas.
House Democrats on the Select Panel attempted unsuccessfully to adjourn the con-tempt resolution meeting and left the meeting prior to the vote. Nevertheless, the requisite quorum of Select Panel Members was present and the contempt resolution passed by a vote of 8-0.
Life Legal client David Daleiden initially exposed StemExpress’ role in the purchase and sale of aborted babies in a video showing PPFA Medical Director Deborah Nucatola casually discussing her provision of organs and tissues to procurement companies. StemExpress filed a lawsuit against Daleiden in July 2015, just two weeks after that video was released, in an unsuccessful bid to prevent the release of a video of Stem Express CEO Catherine Dyer explaining the financial benefits of fetal tissue trafficking.
StemExpress is a human specimen broker that purchased aborted babies from Planned Parenthood and sold them to universities and research facilities across the nation. In May, the Select Panel issued subpoenas requesting documents relating to those transactions. StemExpress has failed to produce many of the documents required by the subpoenas.
StemExpress, along with its business partner Planned Parenthood, has also come under scrutiny for the illegal sharing of patients’ records and other patients privacy violations such as entering operating rooms during abortion procedures. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) protects patient privacy by prohibiting the disclosure of private health information.
If Congress votes to hold StemExpress and Dyer in contempt, the matter will be referred to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, who has a duty to bring the case to a grand jury. Contempt of Congress is a federal misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison.
Slavery has been with us since ancient times, and the buying and selling of Humans continues to this day across the world. The notion that it was an American ‘peculiar institution’ is peculiar to American politics, not world history.
The use of Human Body Parts, whether infant or adult, is only growing – and the Public Shame is lessening only with the attempts to characterize it as ‘medicine’ – which it is Not.
HOW ARROGANT CAN YOU GET?
I PRAY THAT GET PUT IN PRISON WHERE THEY WILL HAVE TIME TO THINK AND HAVE A CONVERSION!
A look at hell on earth. From the article: StemExpress is a human specimen broker that purchased aborted babies from Planned Parenthood and sold them to universities and research facilities across the nation. Can’t we get NAMES of the Universities & Research Facilities and who is paying for what? America needs to know who is contracting this hellish research, where, what and why. Is it the medical lobby? Our government? How is this legal? They are all as guilty as StemExpress & Planned Parenthood. Can’t some hacker get to the bottom of this pitiful, predatory activity? Follow the funding & money stat & tell all! It is heartbreaking to know, humanity has stooped so very low. How long dear Lord?
Should be prosecuted.
I do not know who this person is, but getting a “contempt of Congress” is hardly an issue to reigning Democrats and those that adore and do business with them; just ask Eric Holder. People ignore Congress because it no longer is a functioning arm of the Government. Be contemptuous all you wish, the US Attorney will do nothing under the feckless President Obama and his Baby-Killing political party (which, curiously enough minorities flock to even though a Republican fought to free them from slavery, and Democrats instituted and enforced Jim Crow laws for decades).
SSADLY – It is too true about the Contempt of the Abomination for Contempt of Congress.
The H. Rodham Emails (just those released, not the thousands only Russians and Non Americans get to read) show how deeply that Contempt for any Due Process will infect any Klintonista Regime in the ‘future’.
A Bad Choice or Far Worse Choice – is still a Choice for President.
