Vice Chair Lynn Jenkins Among First To Call For Investigation Into Planned Parenthood

July 23, 2015

After viewing the first video last Tuesday, Conference Vice Chair Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) immediately sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch calling for an investigation into Planned Parenthood, including Senior Director of Medical Research Debra Nucatola, the practices used at its affiliates, and the role the central office plays in allowing this practice to occur within the organization. Congresswoman Jenkins also called for criminal charges to be brought against Planned Parenthood and Ms. Nucatola.

Yesterday afternoon Attorney General Lynch answered that call and said the Department of Justice (DOJ) will “review all the information and determine what steps, if any, to take.” Congresswoman Jenkins issued the following statement after Attorney General Lynch announced DOJ will investigate Planned Parenthood:

“I am pleased to see Attorney General Lynch has heeded my call for an investigation into Planned Parenthood. As I said then, their clearly illegal, morally unjust actions must be investigated and all appropriate measures, including criminal action, must be taken against the responsible parties. I will not forget the unconscionable, horrifying words in these videos and I will continue to pressure the DOJ to do their job and prosecute this crime to ensure terrible actions like this never happen again.”
