No laws appear to have been broken.  In 1993 they ended the fetus tissue research ban (with support from Mitch McConnell and other Republicans still in the Senate).  


Now, I haven't followed the story too closely.  I'd rather wait until more facts come out before jumping to any conclusions.  But it seems to me that scientific research would be a better use for aborted fetus tissue, than dumping them in the trash.  Now the concern I'm sure is that more women would encouraged to get abortions so that Planned Parenthood can profit (this doesn't appear to be the case according to many, who say that any money was merely reimbursment for costs, and that planned parenthood was likely losing money not making it).  Now, profiting off of it should absolutely be illegal.  Which is what the focus should be on.  If it is legal to profit off the donation of fetus tissue, then that profit should be banned.
