There are open and wrongful attacks on Planned Parenthood. I would be interested in knowing what are the dates of the supposed illegal status of harvesting and selling fetal tissue in Texas?

Pandey conducts research on cancer, he often turns to the best replica
for studying the human disorder: fetal tissue.He could use animals or a computer model, but he says nothing else provides results that are as accurate.
"If we want to study a process, it's best to study the real thing," said Pandey, who has used fetal tissue for more than a decade to better understand pancreatic and breast cancers and leukemia. "Models can be insufficient in mimicking what we want to study. Even today we don't understand all the biological processes. We can make a little bit of skin in the lab or cartilage, but not organs. For that, there is more complicated interplay."
Scientists like Pandey have used tissue from aborted fetuses in their research for years, but debate over the practice has re-emerged after Planned Parenthood was recently accused by anti-abortion activists of profiting from the practice....
The political right wing is stating this is illegal. Clearly it is not. At least not in many states. The medical societies of the USA fought long and hard to conduct this research when "W" was first elected and he banned it from our country. So, this is simply a new attack on the same medical institutions that have created a moral environment for research that saves women's lives.

Worcester, MA – A loss in court (click here) and increased public outrage over fetal parts trafficking has prompted StemExpress, to sever its ties with Planned Parenthood and recalibrate its public profile to one that is “predominately” focused — at least outwardly — on adult blood and tissue procurement.
This news came in the same week that Operation Rescue obtained purchase orders that show the University of Massachusetts Medical School paid StemExpress a total of $29,000 for human fetal cadaverous tissue, (presumably harvested from Planned Parenthood abortions), for the purpose of creating “humanized” mice.
StemExpress is a biotech company in Placerville, California, that has been featured in video exposés released by the Center for Medical Progress, which show the company partnering with Planned Parenthood to harvest and profit from the sale of aborted baby parts....
No one has done anything wrong and there is a good chance any laws to stop the research by limiting availability of aborted fetus will be unconstitutional. No one is harvesting babies when they could have been born into a family. That would be murder and the world would not tolerate such a thing. These are voluntary abortions and the fetal tissue is sold for the purpose of maintaining women's health options at the clinic end and research to further the wellness of women at the receiving end of the transaction. There is not a darn thing wrong here.
The political right wing are threatening the lives of women. Just that simple.
