    WASHINGTON, D.C.     Yesterday, Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC-3) became an original cosponsor on H.R. 3134, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, which would immediately prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds.

    Last Tuesday, July 14, the Center for Medical Progress released a video of Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood's Senior Director of Medical Services, explaining how Planned Parenthood sells body parts of aborted babies and often violates the federal law against partial-birth abortion in order to sell intact body parts.

    Yesterday, July 21, the Center for Medical Progress released another video where Mary Gatter, President of Planned Parenthood's Medical Directors' Council, discusses how much money Planned Parenthood receives per specimen of aborted baby tissue and how Planned Parenthood can preserve intact tissue from second trimester abortions by making the abortion procedure "less crunchy."

    Last week, when the first video was released, Congressman Jones signed a letter to Congressman Fred Upton, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Congressman Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, asking for an investigation of Planned Parenthood in light of the recent videos of Planned Parenthood leaders making arrangements to sell body parts of aborted babies.

    "It is absolutely indefensible that Planned Parenthood continues to receive taxpayer dollars when they are responsible for the deaths of over 300,000 babies a year and the trafficking of the parts of these aborted babies," said Congressman Jones. "This is nothing more than taxpayer-funded murder. I will continue to do everything I can to protect some of the most vulnerable among us-unborn children. It is a moral obligation to do so."

    In May, Congressman Jones voted for H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which prevents abortions from being performed after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Congressman Jones is a member of the Pro-Life Caucus and has supported legislation to protect the rights of the unborn throughout his tenure in Congress.
