Contempt of Congress: Is UNM next?

Infant Lives Panel: Contempt of Congress Recommendation 

Is UNM Next?

Dyer discussing sending "intact" heads of aborted infants to researchers

Wednesday, the House Select Panel on Infant Lives voted to recommend the fetal tissue procurement CEO of StemExpress, Cate Dyer, in contempt of Congress for stonewalling its investigation into the harvesting and sale of aborted babies' body parts, by withholding subpoenaed documents.  Sound familiar?  
 
StemExpress also refused to produce names of individuals under investigation, citing "safety" concerns, despite assurances the Panel would redact names.   Sound familiar?  UNM Health Sciences officials have acted in the same manner. NMAFL is the first to report to you that UNM HSC is using your hard earned tax dollars to pay a high dollar, international law firm in obstructing the Panel's investigation-- the same group of attorneys that have represented StemExpress.

Taxpayers are paying for this international law firm to represent UNM HSC, while UNM employs over a dozen of its own attorneys-- also paid by taxpayer dollars.

Democrats Stage Walkout,
​Espey Deposition Delayed 

House Democrats on the Panel, who collectively receive tens of thousands of campaign dollars from the abortion industry, agressivley and shamelessly obstructed the meeting's business, leading up to a staged walkout by the Panel's 6 Democrats. The  remaining  members voted on the Contempt of Congress recommendation for Cate Dyer, which passed 8-0, on party line vote. 
 
Majority members stressed the importance of the law, and the Panel's investigation of StemExpress, UNM and others involve matters of the law.   
 
"A subpoena is not a suggestion," said Chairman Marsha Blackburn in a statement. "It is a lawful order and must be complied with."  NMAFL asks, when will UNM fully comply with the Panel's subpoenas? 
 
Unexpectedly, the Panel did not vote to release the deposition of UNM abortionist and OB-GYN department chair, Eve Espey.  However, NMAFL anticipates the content of Espey's testimony to be released in the near future. 
 
"Espey's testimony is crucial to unlocking alarming issues ongoing at UNM, including infants born alive during abortions, the expansion of abortion at UNM and possible violations of the law, "  said Michael Seibel NMAFL general counsel. "It is time for the Governor, Attorney General, legislators and UNM Regents to take action, investigate and prosecute any and all violations in these matters, as is there is probable cause to do so."

NM Attorney General Playing Politics

Yesterday, NMAFL has discovered that NM Attorney General Hector Balderas launched an investigation into the maker of EpiPens.  However, he has yet to announce an investigation into UNM Health Sciences Center and Southwestern Women's Options late-term abortion clinic-- even after mounting evidence including a criminal referral from Congress!


"Protecting New Mexico children and families is my top priority," Balderas said. "I have initiated this investigation (into EpiPens) to make sure that we are holding out of state corporations and giant drug companies accountable to New Mexico laws..."

Its time Attorney General Balderas hold the abortion industry and UNM Health Sciences Center "accountable to New Mexico laws."
