The ongoing Congressional committee investigation into Planned Parenthood has unearthed new evidence that abortion clinics profit from selling baby parts. Thus, there could be grounds for sanctioning these clinics, including the popular non-profit organization, for violating the law.
The document was presented at the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives. It detailed the exact prices of how much aborted baby parts actually go for.
In video that rocked America last summer, the Center for Medical Progress exposed that Planned Parenthood was engaged in this trade. The organization denied that they were profiting from the sales of baby organs and has maintained their stance even today.
How Much Aborted Baby Parts Cost
The baby's hands and feet go for $890 if still attached to the limbs. But there's an additional $595 if the limbs can be matched to the skull.
One fetal brain is reportedly going for $3,340, while fetal tissue is priced at $595 each. "They are putting a dollar value on these organs from these children-unborn children that have been aborted," said Tennessee congresswoman Marsha Blackburn via The Daily Signal.

Abortion Clinics And Procurement Companies
Abortion clinics pay a middleman anywhere from $6,000 to $11,500 to procure these baby parts from the women. "They are told to quickly obtain consent from women at one of the most vulnerable points in their lives, relying on consent forms that are misleading," revealed Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List pro-life organization, per Washington Times. These baby body parts are then sold to other facilities for medical and scientific research.
Breitbart reports that procurement company StemExpress is one of the most active in the trade and the company has worked with over 100 abortion clinics in the United States as of 2015. It also has links with Planned Parenthood and the news outlet suggested their business relationship could even run deeper.
