Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said the leadership of Planned Parenthood should be prosecuted after a video surfaced last week showing one of the group's executives talking about the selling of fetal "tissues," organs and body parts, IJReview reported.
The 2016 GOP presidential candidate made the comments at a speech on Saturday at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa.
"Every American should watch that video and say, 'Are those my values,'" Cruz said, according to the IJReview.
Planned Parenthood has insisted that the video was doctored and misrepresented the conversation between Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood and two actors that were hired by an anti-abortion group.
But Cruz said that if the accusations of editing by Planned Parenthood proved to be false, the organization is likely guilty of a number of felonies.
"On tape, it appears a Planned Parenthood official is admitting to multiple felonies. The U.S. Department of Justice, if it was not simply a partisan arm of the DNC, should open an investigation and prosecute Planned Parenthood. Congress should hold hearings and we should cut off funds," Cruz said, according to IJReview.

What is irritating the most they ALL have known this been going on. What the hell do you think abortion is? ?? Now they all come together to face this problem. I'm glad but I'm saddened by how surprised they act.
Why are they still open and allowed to practice?
