While under investigation, @PPFA lied to Congress and said @PPGulfCoast had "rebuffed" a proposal to sell fetal livers for $750 each.

But under oath, @PPGulfCoast contradicted @PPFA and testified they "wanted to move forward with it".

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛑" title="Stop sign" aria-label="Emoji: Stop sign"> 42 U.S. Code 289g-2 broadly prohibits selling fetal tissue for any amount of money, or "valuable consideration."

"Valuable consideration" means the Quid Pro Quo in an exchange. It& #39;s not strictly about profit or reimbursement, it& #39;s about what the transaction is incentivizing:

But @PPMarMonte does 17,000 abortions a year, so those numbers can add up quickly.

Clinic owners told us undercover they were looking at $250k/year from @StemExpress
