WASHINGTON, D.C., August 5, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The General Accounting Office (GAO) will investigate every dollar of federal funding going to Planned Parenthood, as well as other organizations that support the liberalization of abortion laws, for potential fraud.

The GAO will investigate the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the Guttmacher Institute, the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), the Population Council, and Advocates for Youth.

The “comprehensive” report will list every service performed and every federal dollar allocated, four Congressmen announced on Monday afternoon.

Something to stand up and cheer about!!!

[topher]

The four Congressmen and Congresswomen:

Rep Chris Smith (R) NJ, Sen David Vitter (R) LA, Rep Pete Olson (R) TX, and Rep Diane Black (R) TN

[topher]

The Alliance Defending Freedom claims that Planned Parenthood had perpetrated $88 million to $99 million in fraud and abuse last year (report they issued).

[Principled]

Holder won’t prosecute them anyway.

[topher]

What about Planned Parenthood Golden Gate????

[topher]

The goal is to DEFUND Planned Parenthood.

If this can be pointed out that there is a huge amount of fraud and waste of Tax Dollars, then this might be something that the Tea Party takes up as a way to end fraud in government.

[Right Wing Assault]

OK, if you say so, we’ll take a look at them. We’re sure they are perfectly legal and harmless, but just to prove to you Tea Baggers that we aren’t just picking on you, we’ll “go after” some of our people.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Bingo. DOJ is ‘Dept of Just Us’ and PP is the ‘Us’ in Holder’s view.

[Kevmo]

Finally some good news for a change.

[workerbee]

I’m soooooooo excited! I love when our commie overlords throw us a bone!

[ChildOfThe60s]

Only if you actually believe this dog & pony show means anything

[q_an_a]

if only every “committee in the House” would do some research on spending - that might fix some of the problems of our out of control government.

[BonRad]

agree- take heart in good news, rarely as it comes.

This might even make some MSM organs.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Good!

[Grams A]

Rep Pete Olson (R) TX,...”

So Pete decided to at least seem to be doing something useful. Must be election soon.

[JSteff]

Nothing will happen to harm PP by the DOJ in any fashion. Right to Life do do not get your hopes up under the current admin.

Remember, O is the state senator who fought so ardently for a doctors right to finish off an abortion in any fashion necessary to be sure the child dies!

[Republic]

If anything comes of this accounting, Holder’s wife, as actual owner of an abortion clinic,would force Holder to recuse himself.

[GeronL]

would force Holder to recuse himself

No it wouldn't. Nobody will touch him. He knows it.

[topher]

There are folks (Lila Rose and company) that have some good information to share.

There are also former employees of PP that have switched sides and exposed the PP fraud.

Texas was able to go after Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast because of a former employee.

So if some taxpayers help to provide info, then this might do some good.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Anything is possible, but realistically unlikely.

You are assuming at least a minimal degree of law and lawfulness. Minimal is a best case scenario. Until a sizable number of people in this country realize that laws are very flexible and change at the whims of our masters, and not to our benefit, then nothing will change for the better.

PP is a sacred cow of those in power. They will not let “the law” get in the way of protecting it.

We are in a police state. Not almost, not on the way to becoming one. We - are - there - now. A lot of people think that because they haven’t personally felt the heel of the boot on their neck it isn’t here yet. They couldn’t be more wrong.
