Planned Parenthood Chief Testifies Before Congress

[Chad32]

In Planned Parenthood's first congressional appearance since being embarrassed by surreptitiously recorded videos, a House committee chairman insisted Tuesday that the organization does not need federal money and spends much of it on political activities.

Insulted would probably be a better word. It's a shame PP is going to court instead of the people trying scare tactics and dishonesty.

Democrats have used a Senate filibuster — a virtually endless procedural delay — to block GOP legislation halting Planned Parenthood's federal payments. So two House committees plan to approve filibuster-proof legislation shifting Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funds — about $350 million — to community health centers.

The bill also would keep a promise made during this spring's budget debate to repeal key elements of Obama's signature health care law. Panel votes are expected Tuesday and Wednesday.

Can't try to get something passed without an attempt to repeal Obamacare. As if it's not going to be hard enough without throwing that in.
