(NaturalNews) In the wake of a budding new scandal involving the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts by taxpayer-subsidized Planned Parenthood, the Obama administration has come out in defense of the organization and, by proxy, it's horrific, gruesome - and illegal - practice.

As reported by Breitbart News, in recent days White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest would not answer a reporter's question seeking administration reaction to the Planned Parenthood scandal. Rather, he ducked the question by referring the reporter to the organization instead.

Further, he said that, at the time of the questioning, he had not viewed the explosive videos [here and here] but had instead only read news reports about what they contained. But Earnest did go as far as citing Planned Parenthood's statement, in which the organization defended itself by claiming its policies were "entirely consistent" with the "strictest ethical guidelines," whatever those are.

Earnest then referred further questions regarding such policies to PP and "ethicists" who allegedly defined them, because he did not have "immediate knowledge" of their practices.

"Planned Parenthood, I understand, has said that they follow those ethical guidelines, in fact the highest of those ethical guidelines," Earnest said, parroting the organization's and the administration's official lines.

Next up, prosecute the messenger

While Earnest said he didn't know if his boss, President Obama, had seen the videos [a lie - he knows because as the administration's "face," he is required to know these things], how the president feels about this is evident in actions his administration has taken since the scandalous videos were released.

A day after Earnest's press conference the Department of Justice announced it would investigate the scandal, and at first, Americans horrified by what they'd heard and seen on the videos were elated that finally, the Obama Justice Department was getting serious about this kind of brutal corruption. Planned Parenthood, a sacred cow of the Left, was about to get butchered.

Only, that's not why DOJ announced its investigation, because PP is not the intended target. Rather, the department is going after the organization - the Center for Medical Progress - which produced the videos after conducting a two-and-a-half year probe into PP.

As reported by the American Spectator:

The Department of Justice, which has said nothing about looking into whether Planned Parenthood is engaging in what appears to be an illicit trade in baby parts - let's face it, if they were really just asking for "reimbursements," they wouldn't be haggling over the amounts - they announced this morning that they're going to be investigating the Center for Medical Progress, the organization that taped Planned Parenthood senior executives chatting about "less crunchy" alternatives to crushing aborted fetuses wholesale, while sipping on a nice Chianti and listening to the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Consistently vile

Republican-led congressional committees, along with some state attorneys general, including led by Missouri and Kansas, are staging investigations of Planned Parenthood, because after all, the selling of human body parts is a very serious violation of U.S. Code - not to mention one of the most callous, disgusting and morally repugnant activities to boot.

As to the government's probe into his organization, Center Executive Director David Daleiden is unfazed.

"They will attack me and my organization all day long, but that does not change the facts about what our investigation has uncovered and what the American people now know - that Planned Parenthood is engaged in an enterprise-wide operation that traffics and sells baby body parts," he said in a statement.

As for Obama, his treatment of the unborn - right up to the point of delivery - is a cornerstone of his ghoulish politics. As a state senator in Illinois, a U.S. senator from the same state and now as president, his blatant, purposeful and disgusting disregard for the most vulnerable among us has been consistent.

That is, consistently vile.
