Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., points to evidence that abortion clinics and procurement companies may be profiting from the transfer of fetal tissue.  Republicans on a special House panel investigating the transfer of fetal tissue from aborted babies pointed to a series of documents in a hearing today to allege that an abortion provider and middleman procurement company may have broken federal law.  “Based on my review of the exhibits, a competent, ethical federal prosecutor could establish probable cause that both the abortion clinics and the procurement business violated the statute, aided and abetted one another in violating the statute, and likely conspired together to violate the statute,” Brian P. Lennon, a former federal prosecutor in Michigan and Virginia, testified.

Three former prosecutors backed those allegations, saying documents that Republican members released as evidence demonstrate "probable cause" that federal statutes against profiting by fetal tissue had been violated........
