Democrats Renew Pressure On Republicans To End Planned Parenthood Committee

Windholz said that it was Planned Parenthood who initiated the “war on women”. “And this was a man who they said prior to this was mentally disturbed”, Trump said.

Hostages leave the Colorado Springs, Colorado, Planned Parenthood facility under attack on November 27, 2015.

McCarthy pointed out that the investigative panel includes Democrats, adding that the probe is “where all pieces of information can come forward”.

In a speech on the Senate floor Monday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid also called for an end to committee in the aftermath of the shooting, which he described as an act of “domestic terrorism”. The accusations surfaced this summer with a series of doctored sting videos taken by a mysterious anti-abortion group. And when you use this kind of hateful rhetoric, whether you’re a politician, or whether you’re in elected office, or whether you’re in an opposition group, this kind of rhetoric towards doctors and women seeking help here has real impact….It’s alarming to see this kind of rhetoric and these kinds of smear campaigns against abortion providers and patients continue. “Republicans should give up before they match the millions of dollars they’ve wasted on the so-called Benghazi Select Committee – another politically motivated and ultimately fruitless attack”.

The lawmaker from Colorado said eight Republicans on a select House committee investigating Planned Parenthood have used the phrase “baby body parts” – or one like it – 33 times since July.

“We do condone protesting outside abortion clinics”, says Wallace, “Where they are proactively killing babies inside prayer sessions for people who feel they have to kill their own child”. According to the lawsuit, the department’s decision stemmed from the clinic’s abortion provider losing her privileges with Missouri University Health Care on December 1.

The governor and Planned Parenthood Southeast filed a joint motion in federal court today to resolve the lawsuit filed by the organization to challenge the governor’s effort to cancel the contracts.

A Republican congressional leader on Monday defended a House investigation of Planned Parenthood’s provision of fetal tissue to researchers, offering no suggestion that last week’s shooting deaths at one of the group’s clinics will cause the GOP to retreat from that probe. “This gentlemen was deranged and committed a heinous activity”.

Before the creation of the select committee, other committees already held numerous combative hearings and fueled repeated House votes to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding. The pro-life moment is a compassionate movement that cares about the dignity of life of the born and unborn.
