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 groups handling of fetal tissue.
The Speakers resignation has not yet broken Republicans fevered obsession with shutting down government at the expense of womens health, she said in a statement Saturday, noting Fridays 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 womens health.
She noted that one in five women use Planned Parenthoods 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 GOPs 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 groups 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 thats investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks. Democrats have accused House Republicans of using that body to politicize the investigation and hurt Hillary Clintons presidential ambitions.
Pelosi is afraid her name will come up in the investigation. ( Hard to imagine it won’t, she’s been very much involved in the abortion racket - for years ). She doesn’t want to wind up in the same cell as Hilary
Nazi Pelosi said that, hunh?
But...The big problem still remains....an absurd law that says abortion is a right.
Womens’ health? Sounds like a lot of women have used Planned Parenthood abortion services for birth control.
Oh, please, Nancy, how stupid do you think we, the people, are? Even in areas where PP has a strong presence, each PP business office is typically outnumbered by dozens of actual medical clinics, not to mention hospitals, radiology centers, etc. I drive by dozens of doctors' offices every day, but not a single PP business office. Yet you expect us to believe that 20% of women seek their primary healthcare from PP "clinics"?
FYI, Nancy, when I need medical services, I don't want to get them from baby killers. Why on earth would I trust my health to a psychopathic murderer?
Republicans are not shutting down anything you lying sack of pig vomit.
The Democrats and their filibuster is what shuts it down.
If they pass a plan without PP funding then it is Husseins VETO that shuts it down.
You and the MSM can all go to hell on your distortion of the truth.
First things first. Defund immediately. Defund now. Defund yesterday. Ask for receipts, ask for our money back. Just say “no more”.
DITTO
According to Pelosi:
Private and public practice OBGYN & GYNs, technology for mammograms, Medicaid, pharmacies, etc. don’t exist.
By all means, let’s rehash the entire women’s health medical field magically disappearing for the millionth time since 1973.
I wonder where she got that stat - I know lots of women and do not know one who uses PP for anything.
She needs to be fitted with an orange jump suit
Of course!
You are your own pope....with all of your wisdom.
No matter that it leads you in a different direction than others who are their own pope.
Is there ONE truth?
The Democrats never ever stop. They just keep coming, and that is why the Republicans keep losing. They just haven’t figured that out yet.
The is only one truth but this pope is not speaking it.
On what subject?
Global Warming and Economics don’t count, because they are outside his purview.
