The Stream submitted a Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) request to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in July 2015, requesting information on the agency’s oversight of Planned Parenthood’s fetal research. In response, HHS turned over 190 pages of heavily redacted emails (below), as well as letters to Congress indicating they had not conducted any oversight of Planned Parenthood in this area since 2007, claiming that federal law requiring oversight of HHS grants for fetal research does not apply. The Stream’s story on it is here. The Stream’s earlier articles on the investigation are here and here.

The documents that HHS produced in response to our FOIA request are available in The Stream’s Issuu reader embedded below. Page numbers are shown in the center below the reader for reference. If you do not see the document below, click here.
