WASHINGTON — Under fire for its role in providing fetal tissue for research, Planned Parenthood asked the government's top health scientists Wednesday to convene a panel of independent experts to study the issues surrounding the little-known branch of medicine.

Planned Parenthood's request to the National Institutes of Health came as Senate Republicans pressed their fight to bar the organization from receiving federal aid. Likely opposition from at least one GOP senator highlighted the long odds the GOP will face in a Senate showdown vote expected early next week.

The group also took its websites down after a hacker attack it blamed on "anti-abortion extremists" blocked access by what Planned Parenthood said are the sites' 200,000 daily visitors. The organization declined to say publicly how it knew the attackers were abortion foes, and said it fixed the problem but took its sites down for the day to "ensure that we are fully protected."

I have learned with them it’s ANYTHING to justify the killing of babies.

"Experts"? Like that "medical ethicist" who advocates killing children after they are born?

Those kind of ""experts"?

If the dead baby parts offer life saving techniques, where are they going to get the supply of dead baby parts when the public wants them for their lifesaving surgeries?

“oh, this is only research”

Dr. Mengele was conducting research too.

The abortion industry pays out huge amounts to friendly politicians. On both sides of the aisle, I have no doubt.

They own that stupid “Komen for the Cure” organization, and undoubtedly launder contributions through it if certain politicians are squeamish about taking blood money directly from PP.

I’m sure the “panel of independent experts” will be fair and honest and unbiased. /Vomit.

Seems rather shady to take money from the government to operate, then funnel it back to the people who oversee the program funding.

I get it. The Planned “Parenthood” Meat Packing Co. gets to hire the former perts to “study” them, right?
