House panel releases documents in fetal tissue probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans targeting Planned Parenthood released documents that they say may point to businesses profiting from the sale of fetal tissue for research. Democrats said the documents showed no direct evidence of profiteering.
The documents, released on Wednesday by a special House panel investigating fetal tissue donation by such groups as Planned Parenthood, include promotional and administrative materials that detail how some businesses procure fetal tissue from abortion providers and then sell them to researchers. Republicans on the panel would not reveal the source of the materials, saying they came from investigative work by staff.
