Planned Parenthood has announced it will no longer accept reimbursement for the cost of donating fetal tissue for medical research, even though the reimbursement is legal. The step comes after Republicans launched a series of hearings following an anti-choice group’s release of heavily edited videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal tissue donation. Planned Parenthood said of its nearly 700 health centers, only two provide fetal tissue for research, and only one takes reimbursement. But in a letter to the National Institutes of Health, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards said Planned Parenthood would stop taking any reimbursement to “[preserve] the ability of our patients to donate tissue, and to expose our opponents’ false charges [that Planned Parenthood is profiting off the donations].”
