South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R., S.C.) has ordered an investigation of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics in the wake of undercover videos showing the sale of organs from aborted babies.
"Over the past weeks, I have been shocked by recent accounts of unethical practices at clinics affiliated with Planned Parenthood, particularly those regarding the sale of human fetal tissue," Haley said in a letter obtained by The State.
In the letter Haley told the state's Department of Health and Environmental Control to "engage in a prompt and comprehensive investigation of the policies and practices of abortion clinics in our state, prioritizing those affiliated with or owned by Planned Parenthood, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates."
The letter comes after states such as Texas and Louisiana vowed to conduct similar investigations of Planned Parenthood and a number of other states have moved to cut funding to the abortion provider.
