Several House Democrats are coming to the defense of Planned Parenthood in the wake of a now-viral video that shows its chief medical director graphically detailing the uses for organs of aborted fetuses.
“Planned Parenthood is actually allowed, is my understanding, for scientific research, to use fetal tissue and that is not illegal,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus and sponsor of numerous abortion-rights bills.
“Having talked to the leadership at Planned Parenthood, this was a sting operation,” she added.
She said she had not watched the nearly nine-minute video, which was released Tuesday by a controversial anti-abortion group, the Center for Medical Progress. It was filmed in secret by members posing as buyers from a biomedical research company and has been dismissed by Planned Parenthood as "grossly mischaracterizing" its legal use of fetal tissue.
By late Tuesday, the footage had captured national attention, landing on the front page of newspapers like The Washington Post. The YouTube video now has 1.1 million views, and Planned Parenthood was trending on Twitter for hours.
Republicans are hoping to keep it in the spotlight for at least several weeks. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) ordered an investigation into the video Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats have been mostly silent on the issue as details continued to emerge Tuesday evening, when Planned Parenthood released 11 pages of attack points against the makers of the video.
The rapid rise of what has widely been called a "sting video" has surprised some Democrats on the Hill, including one aide who called the attention "unexpected."
When asked about Republicans’ planned investigations into Planned Parenthood, Schakowsky said she wanted an investigation, instead, into the Center for Medical Progress, which she called “a phony company.”
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), another prominent supporter of abortion rights, also dismissed the latest attacks against Planned Parenthood.
“They’ve been attacking Planned Parenthood for years,” she said. “They’ve been calling for investigations for years, and they surface videos and they come on the attack … and I think it’s outrageous.”
Lee also said she has not seen the video.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), who is also a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said she had not heard of the video and could not comment.
“I’ll take a look at it, but I did not see it so I have no idea what’s in it,” she said.
Dems have no self-responsibility, whether the shooting in sanctuary cities or this.
How do these people sleep at night?
Someone should send the PP clip to their email.
100 times a day...
They want the sacrifices to Moloch to continue.
Because it’s incredibly important to “women’s health” for these guys to make giant piles of money pressuring young girls into late term abortions in unsafe facilities without proper medical supervision...
Think of the children!
Jan Jackoffsky (D-Hell) was quoted as saying, “What wrong with baby body parts? I had baby salad for lunch today. In a world where every kid in America goes to bed hungry, how can we waste all this flesh?”
“How do these people sleep at night?”
They hang upside down from the rafters in their attics.
Quote from woman in video:
~~between taking gulps of wine~~
“....The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium - the head - is basically the biggest part. Most of the other stuff can come out intact.”
~~continues stuffing her lunch into her mouth~~
That is an insult to both bats and vampires....judgment is coming soon.
We are all patsies now. There is too much money in abortion to leave anything on the table, or to let any human scrap go to waste. And the Democrats will see to it that we all pay for it, for the same reason that they’re happy to throw nonconformist bakers into prison: If we are all implicated, then resistance is more difficult, and resistance is bad for business....
‘A Lot of People Want Liver’: Planned Parenthood’s Bloody Business
This is why God’s wrath is going to pour down on us.
America is a mockery of itself, the city on the hill is now Babylon.
God have mercy on us on.
Of course these fools defend the practice. If one truly believes that it is nothing but a “lump of cells” and they are already supporting the mutilation of those cells, then why would they feel any differently by how the cells are distributed after the “mutilation of the cells.”
It would be idiotic to have concern over the lesser evil....
Of course, that still means that they are evil supporters of murder....
They sleep hanging upside down in a cold moist dark cave
"There is no stopping abortion without an ocean of grace from Jesus Christ. No way will human means stop abortion. The principal source of this grace is the Holy Eucharist."http://adorationrocks.com
These people would literally work for the nazi’s.
Zero morals.
How DARE you trap us selling baby body parts?! Catching us pulling apart unborn children — why, that is just TRICKERY and DISHONESTY!! A hidden CAMERA, just to show the world how we rip babies from the womb and disembowel them??? How utterly rude! Nothing can compare to such deviousness!
God will watch over His remnant...God have mercy on the rest, for they will need it.
