(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today issued the following
statement:
“The video showing Planned Parenthood’s senior director of
medical services calmly discussing the best way to kill an unborn child in
order to preserve the condition of the baby’s internal organs is truly
horrifying. Any person or abortion clinic involved in such a practice described
in the video may have violated specific state or federal laws.
“Because registered non-profit corporations operate three
Planned Parenthood abortion facilities in Ohio, those entities and the
directors have a fiduciary duty under Ohio law to ensure their organization
does not support illegal activity. My office’s Charitable Law Section is conducting an investigation to ensure that no Ohio non-profit is breaking the law
or profiting from the sale of aborted babies. I encourage anyone with
information about this potential illegal activity to contact my office or their
local law enforcement agency.”
