WASHINGTON, July 23, 2015 (ChurchMilitant.com) - On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) proposed that Congress stop looking to investigate Planned Parenthood and instead investigate the Center for Medical Progress, the pro-life organization that recently exposed the abortion conglomerate's sale of baby organs for profit in a series of undercover videos. Pelosi claims they created an unnecessary controversy for no reason.
Weighing in on the Planned Parenthood controversy for the first time since the videos went public, the self-described Roman Catholic said, "Let's have an investigation of those people who were trying to ensnare Planned Parenthood in a controversy that doesn't exist" while dismissing all claims that Planned Parenthood makes profits off selling baby organs.
"Planned Parenthood has said that they have done nothing illegal," she said. "They do not ever charge, which would be illegal, for fetal tissue. They have only defrayed the cost of mailing that to someone, which is not breaking the law."
Pelosi's remarks echoed that of White House press secretary Josh Earnest just a day earlier, who defended Planned Parenthood's actions as perfectly legal while decrying the videos as being "selectively edited."
Congressional Republicans have been engaging in full-frontal assault against the abortion conglomerate in recent days using the videos from the Center for Medical Progress as ammunition. Currently, as many as 80 Congress members have co-sponsored bill H.R. 3134, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, which would effectively end all federal funding several hundred million dollars to the abortion giant.
Investigations into Planned Parenthood's alleged criminal activity have been ordered by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and several governors across the country.
Nancy Pelosi rejects all congressional investigations or attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, believing the real culprit in this matter is the Center for Medical Progress, whom she said should be probed by the Department of Justice, headed by Loretta Lynch, a past supporter of partial-birth abortion.
Loretta Lynch has since stated she will withhold all investigations until all information has been reviewed.
Americans killed a bunch of Nazis in the 1940s. Time to finish the job.
“Planned Parenthood has said that they have done nothing illegal,”
Well, since that is all it takes to make an investigation go away, the center for medical progress just needs to say the same.
or does it not work that way.....????
She’ll be right at home in hell. Who do you think Satan has running the place, but psychos like her?
Leftist deflection tactic. Like the video is just a video of diners, no haggling of prices since of course PP only charges a small $50 handling/mailing fee.
I’ve got some Ocean Front Property in Ohio to sell Nancy.
Pelosi, like any Communist sympathizer always must kill the messenger.
I mean, kettle meets black.
Were unsurprisingly getting contradictory claims from different sources about this issue.
Planned Parenthoods video showing their Medical Director, Deborah Nucatola, negotiating the sale of body parts of aborted babies it kills in its facilities. Senator: Planned Parenthood Says the Liver and Heart Has Value. No. The Unborn Baby Has Value
Yes, and I think examples like this should make us all understand why the over-the-top take-no-prisoners attack-attack-attack approach of Trump is exactly what is required when fighting people like Pelosi and the rest of the radical left. People like Pelosi, when presented with a picture of the liberal cat with its paw in the fishbowl, will immediately call for condemnation of the conservative dog. Always. She is an ideologue and and a narcissist, like so many of them, and will never be reasonable on any issue. Ever.
Legal,shmegal,Nancy. How does fiendish,murderous,immoral,vicious and downright evil strike you?
Almost.
“They do not ever charge, which would be illegal, for fetal tissue. They have only defrayed the cost of mailing that to someone, which is not breaking the law.”
Ten more videos to come I guess.
“Planned Parenthood has said that they have done nothing illegal,” she said.
Then they have nothing to worry about. On with the investigation.
If the people are this upset about this horror, imagine god’s judgement on these fiends.
Pelosi is a real dictator.
She would persecute anyone, ANYONE, who looks into things more closely or reports things she doesn’t like in a way she doesn’t like. This is the mindset of an absolute dictator, not a democratically elected representative ... and I would say the same thing if a Republican were saying the things she is saying.
I can understand a teen who gives little thought about the afterlife, but I’ve never understood what a senior citizen that relishes in evil could be thinking.
Congress needs to investigate its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, which the RINO-controlled House has read out loud at the beginnings of the last three legislative sessions, to see if the states have granted Congress the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for vote-winning, Planned Parenthood purposes. Im sure that it wont find any such enumerated powers.
And note that the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate must have inadvertently let unconstitutional House appropriations bills which fund Planned Parenthood slip past it.

This woman is certifiable..
Shut up Pelosi. Your 15 minutes are up. Go home and knit something or bake some cookies.
The funny thing is that ush warned that this precisely would happen that democrats would call for an investigation of the accusers.
