House Republicans Create Special Committee To Harass Planned Parenthood

[Vigilante]

ANYTHING that fuels the hate filled right wing segment of our population, will be what these morons in congress will go after.....Jobs bills are too cumbersome and could get one in trouble with the corporate donors...Therefore, these elected right wingers will just sit on their asses and waste time and money to throw pieces of red meat to the rabid voters of their party.

Sounds like the DemocRATS with Bush...

 

[Rotagilla]

Does anybody else sell human body parts? Then I guess it's PP. It should be noted that the first thing on the senate democrat agenda when they gained the majority in Bush's second term was to investigate ....get ready....steroid use in baseball.

Let's see

Benghazi
The IRS
Planned Parenthood

Where is a jobs bill?

describe obama's "jobs bill"?

Is it not Congress that creates the bills? sends them to the senate for ratification? then the President signs, or vetos, the bill?

There's still no proof the family planning provider did anything wrong.

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans created a special committee on Wednesday to investigate abortions, fetal tissue procurement and the use of federal funds at Planned Parenthood.

Lawmakers voted 242-184 on a resolution establishing the committee, which will function as an Energy and Commerce subcommittee and will have the power to subpoena documents and testimony. Its stated mission, among other things, is to examine "medical procedures and business practices used by entities involved in fetal tissue procurement" and "federal funding and support for abortion providers."

The special committee comes a few months after anti-abortion activists released a series of heavily edited undercover videos that purported to show the family planning provider breaking the law by selling fetal tissue after abortions. Multiple state investigations and a federal investigation by the Energy and Commerce Committee have so far been unable to find any facts to support that claim.

Planned Parenthood, which legally accepts money to cover the costs of transporting donated fetal tissue to medical researchers, has slammed the videos as "deceptively edited" and denies any wrongdoing.

During Wednesday's debate, Republicans couldn't say that Planned Parenthood broke any laws. Instead, they railed against abortion in general and described how disgusting it was to see videos of fetal tissue being removed from aborted fetuses.

"It's one of the most repulsive things to watch," Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) said.

"Even if Planned Parenthood complied with the law, it's clear we need to learn more about their barbaric tactics so we can amend those laws and ensure these practices never happen again," Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said.

Democrats said the videos and the committee are all part of a coordinated GOP effort to chip away at reproductive rights, particularly those of low-income women.

"What a sham process this has been from the beginning," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).

"We know that fetal tissue procurement ... provides life-saving research for diseases like Parkinson's, ALS and others," said Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.). "No, Mr. Speaker, you are not trying to find the facts. This is just another pathway to deny a woman a right to a safe and legal abortion."

Republicans have been fixated on defunding Planned Parenthood for months. Theygrilled Cecile Richards, the organization's president, for five hours last week in a committee hearing. Last month, conservatives threatened to shut down the government if a budget bill included any funding for the family planning provider.

The Republican war on women is a disgraceful thing to watch. Have they no shame?

Steve Scalise is right there, upfront. He's a devotee of David Duke and a proud member of the Italian Renaissance Foundation.

They simply don't believe in investing in our own country anymore...They bitch about how much they hate government and that our government shouldn't ever do anything.

They'll focus on stupid shit like Planned parenthood all day long....

Also most of the r&d is funded by the government...Corporations in many fields just take advantage of it...So why would they be angry?

It is called demanding accountability and throwing people in prison for defrauding the tax payers. You bitch and want to abolish everything but don't want to make a system that is accountable. This is why your party sucks. It stands for nothing besides gutting and deregulating. That isn't how a nation works.

I love it. Is there a better example of Republicans wanting to expand government and waste taxpayer money on investigations that go nowhere? This will be a fun ad for the fall election.

wow, when did it become a Requirement we needed to FUND PP?
.

Requirement? heck I don't find anything in the Constitution that even authorizes it, I just figured it was just one of the SIXTEEN BILLION ways that the Federal Government was ripping me off in order to give my money to one of their cronies that I'd never in a million years voluntarily give a nickel to.

oh I agree, but you see how some seems to think it is Required. take this thread for an example.
