"Boehner Aide, Sister of CEO Who Discussed Shipping Intact Aborted Baby Parts, Resigns to Join Lobbying Firm"
Charlotte Ivancic -- the older sister of Cate Dyer who runs the biotech company StemExpress, and who discussed and laughed about shipping intact aborted baby parts in an undercover video released on Friday is leaving her position as the health policy adviser to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to go to work for the lobbying firm Tarplin, Downs & Young.
The resignation of Ivancic--who worked for Boehner and as legal counsel to the House Budget Committeewas announced on August 5, as reported in The Hill.
In late July, StemExpress and its founder and CEO, Cate Dyer, were mentioned in undercover videos of Planned Parenthoods harvesting of aborted baby parts by the Center for Medical Progress, a pro-life organization.
StemExpress obtained a temporary restraining order on July 28 against the release of any further investigative videos, but that order was lifted on Aug. 21 by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joanne ODonnell.
After the restraining order was lifted, the Center for Medical Progress released a new video (on Aug. 21) that includes footage of a luncheon meeting with StemExpress Cate Dyer and the investigators who discuss how the procurement, supply, and shipping of aborted baby parts and their tissue operates.

If Trump called for the immediate removal of Boehner and McC (I know the colleagues wouldn’t remove them though.), he might pass 50 percent in these early polls but could forfeit OH and KY, which he would need in the fall.
I believe you are right.
House GOP leaders desperate to avoid shutdown [Planned Parenthood $ $]

An explosive confrontation brewing between the House Republican leadership and conservatives over Planned Parenthood is threatening to shut down the government for the second time in three years. And House GOP leaders have yet to settle on a strategy to avert it.
Desperate to avoid another closure, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his team would prefer to build bipartisan opposition to funding the group through a series of high-profile Congressional investigations. But, at this point, that seems unlikely to cut it with a bloc of House conservatives who have said they simply wont vote for a large-scale spending plan that funds Planned Parenthood.
Funding runs dry Sept. 30, so Republican leaders have barely have a month to figure it out.
Many GOP aides are skeptical of using a funding bill to cut off the groups government money, aware that the legislation would likely die in the Senate. And, even if Congress could broker a deal on Planned Parenthood, anything that cuts its government funding would likely be vetoed by President Barack Obama.
Instead, House GOP leaders would rather uses Congress broad investigative powers to build an overwhelming case against the group, which they believe would allow them to hammer Planned Parenthood for months and put Democrats under enormous pressure to turn against the womens health organization.
But conservatives led by Rep. Jim Jordans (R-Ohio) Freedom Caucus are girding for battle. They see the fight over Planned Parenthoods money as one of the top legislative priorities of 2015, and they are eager to do anything to end government support.
