===Pro-life leadership===
Blackburn, being strongly [[pro-life]],<ref>[https://www.ontheissues.org/House/Marsha_Blackburn_Abortion.htm Marsha Blackburn on Abortion]</ref> has been a powerful advocate against the brutality of [[abortion]]. When radical [[pro-abortion]] [[Democrats]] in July 2014 tried to pass S. 1696, a bill that would eliminate almost all restrictions on abortions, Blackburn testified against the bill, showing a picture of her unborn grandson's ultrasound as a testimony to the sanctity of human life.<ref>[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2014/07/15/is-this-the-most-radical-proabortion-bill-ever-considered-by-congress-n1862109 Wow: Rep. Blackburn Shows Ultrasound Pic of Her Grandson To Testify Against Abortion Bill]</ref>
====House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives====
Blackburn was the leader of the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, which was established in October 2015 by House [[Republicans]].<ref>[https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/256254-house-creates-panel-to-investigate-planned-parenthood House creates panel to investigate Planned Parenthood]</ref> While as the chair of the panel, Blackburn has lead the issuing of subpoenas on companies such as [[Planned Parenthood]] that sold murdered fetal tissue for "research purposes".<ref>[https://www.dailysignal.com/2016/04/20/in-the-market-for-fetal-body-parts-a-babys-brain-sells-for-3340/ In the Market for Fetal Body Parts, a Baby’s Brain Sells for $3,340]</ref> Out-of-touch radical Democrats drenched in denialism called the investigation a "witch hunt" despite the factual evidence present. The [[NARAL]] and other leftist extremists have subsequently attacked Blackburn as well.<ref>[https://www.lifenews.com/2016/09/02/abortion-activists-target-pro-life-congresswoman-leading-investigation-of-planned-parenthood/ Abortion Activists Target Pro-Life Congresswoman Leading Investigation of Planned Parenthood]</ref>
The Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives has found that women who are in the waiting rooms of [[abortion]] clinics have been deceptively lobbied into giving permission to donate their soon-to-be-murdered babies' parts to help with "research".<ref>[https://www.lifenews.com/2016/04/07/women-sitting-in-abortion-clinic-waiting-rooms-are-lobbied-to-donate-their-aborted-babies/ Women Sitting in Abortion Clinic Waiting Rooms are Lobbied to Sell Their Aborted Babies]</ref>
An investigation by the panel in mid-2016 found that [[Planned Parenthood]] had violated federal privacy laws in disclosing individual health information to StemExpress to profit off of the organs of murdered unborn children.<ref>[https://www.lifenews.com/2016/06/01/congressional-investigation-planned-parenthood-broke-hippa-law-to-sell-aborted-baby-parts/ Congressional Investigation: Planned Parenthood Broke HIPAA Law to Sell Aborted Baby Parts]</ref>
Blackburn lead the panel in late August 2016 into uncovering evidence that the University of New Mexico had illegally bought aborted babies' brains to be used for "summer camp programs".<ref>[https://www.lifenews.com/2016/08/26/congress-university-broke-law-buying-brains-of-aborted-babies-for-students-to-dissect/ Congress: University Broke Law Buying Brains of Aborted Babies for Students to Dissect]</ref>
In late December 2016, the panel had issued criminal referrals of late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen and his employees, charging Karpen with illegally performing [[late term abortion]]s and killing the infants who survived, based on the testimonies of witnesses as well as photographic evidence.<ref>[https://www.operationrescue.org/archives/select-panel-issues-two-criminal-referrals-of-texas-late-term-abortionist-karpen-others/ Select Panel Issues Two Criminal Referrals of Texas Late-term Abortionist Karpen, Others]</ref>
