Planned Parenthood is a billion-dollar "nonprofit" enterprise that gets half a billion in our tax dollars and performs a third of a million abortions every year.
Below is the latest news report on Planned Parenthood, from my colleague on Capitol Hill:
Yesterday the House Judiciary held its second hearing on
Planned Parenthood. This hearing focused on the abortion procedures at Planned
Parenthood and witnesses included Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist;
Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood clinic manager; and Luana Stoltenberg,
a woman who has suffered from 3 previous abortions. During Dr. Levatino’s
testimony he showed a segment
of an undercover video by Live Action about a late abortion procedure. Later in
the hearing Rep. Cicilline (D-RI) offered a motion to strike the video shown by
Dr. Levatino, and due to absences the Cicilline motion prevailed. Once
more Members returned to the room, a Republican motion to restore the video to
the record was offered, and the Republicans prevailed.
Links to witness testimony, Member statements and questions
are available below. More information about the hearing, including footage of
the entire hearing, can be found at the Committee’s webpage here. See also this story in The
Hill about Sue Thayer’s testimony, “Planned
Parenthood billed Medicaid for abortion services, ex-employee claims.”
