Massachusetts joins Indiana in clearing Planned Parenthood of criminal wrongdoing

. . .

Indiana's findings further underscore the flimsy nature of The Center for Medical Progress' claims and reinforce the fact Planned Parenthood has simply been discussing legal reimbursement for fetal tissue donation.

UPDATE: On July 29, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced that they had also "found no evidence that" Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state were participating in fetal tissue donation programs and that the organization's health centers are "are fully compliant with state and federal laws regarding the disposition of fetal tissue ... There is no evidence that PPLM is involved in any way in the buying or selling of tissue." The investigation was requested by state Representative James L. Lyons Jr. (R), who called for an examination of Planned Parenthood based on the Center for Medical Progress' deceptively-edited undercover videos.

The more I hear about what things are like in other parts of the country, the more grateful I am that I live in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Good, but the fact that this tactic of creating an insane slander of a group simply trying to help people means it must endure sharp scrutiny and fight for its financial life illustrates something fundamentally wrong with our entire culture.
