Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is bashing House Republicans’ plans to create a select committee focused on investigating Planned Parenthood after the release of controversial videos about the group’s handling of fetal tissue.
“The Speaker’s resignation has not yet broken Republicans’ fevered obsession with shutting down government at the expense of women’s health,” she said in a statement Saturday, noting Friday’s news that Speaker John Boehner will depart after October.
“Make no mistake: House Republicans have renewed their war on women's health… Hard-working families deserve better than a taxpayer-funded Republican Committee fixated on dismantling women’s health.”
She noted that one in five women use Planned Parenthood’s services each year for healthcare, including cancer screenings.
“With this Committee, Republicans are trying to make it easier to shut down the government and harder for millions of women to access the lifesaving health care they need.”
Her statement follows the GOP’s weekly address, where Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said that the House would create the new select committee.
Funding for Planned Parenthood has become one of the most contentious issues after an anti-abortion rights group began to release surreptitiously-filmed videos from the group alleging impropriety.
Critics argue that the group should not receive any federal funding because it performs abortions and that the videos show the group discussing selling fetal tissue and organs. But the group’s supporters have argued that the videos have been selectively edited in order to push false claims.
Pelosi compared the committee to the other recently-created House committee that’s investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks. Democrats have accused House Republicans of using that body to politicize the investigation and hurt Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions.
Well, she was in charge of Boehner and, thus, the House.
Why didn’t Pope Francis excommunicate her while in D.C.?
Nancy the Nasty Baby Killer.
Worst thing our Founding Fathers did was not putting term limits on congress.
Too late. She's already excommunicated herself.
Hey Nan!
Abortion has ALWAYS been the PRIMARY mission of Planned Parenthood.
Now you’re angry that we have proof their butchery has descended into the sale of butchered baby body parts.
The prohibition of federal funds for the purpose of abortion has been long standing.
The violation of that prohibition has persisted for as long.
NOW, we shall make the cutoff of taxpayer dollars PERMANENT!
There are THOUSANDS of other resources for true women’s healthcare, in case you missed that detail in your Obamacare atrocity.
That’s because she is.
Have you been introduced to this current, Jesuit (commie) Pope?
Because the leftist pontiff is a big part of the problem
Back in the 50s and 60s the Jesuits that ran my parish were NOT leftists...intelligent? Yes Intellectual? Yes. But not leftists.
That is no longer true
Even in the minority, the Dems fight to the death and still set the narrative.
Planned Parenthood one of the Democrats many kick back schemes. How much of those kick backs have gone to Pelosi’s campaign (retirement fund) chest?
I was raised a Catholic but he is not my pope.
PP violated federal law, punishable by 10 years in prison: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/289g-2
What do you think happened? Infiltration?
Did you see her when she made her comments about Boehner resigning?
The baby-killer had a big, gold cross dangling from her turkey gobbler neck. (For the Pope, of course.)
Her final comments were regarding protecting “women’s healthcare”...we call it abortion.
I’m so sick of being preached to by the spawn of Satan.
I don’t know....
Altogether now—WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH, WOMEN’S HEALTH...etc, etc, etc
Remember we are in a totalitarian state and we must memorize the dear leaders’ buzz word of the day.
Must be time for another press conference with Sandra Fluke.
