| Dems defend Planned Parenthood |
| 2015-07-16 |
| [THEHILL] Democrats have been mostly silent on the issue as details continued to emerge Tuesday evening, when Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party. released 11 pages of attack points against the makers of the video. The rapid rise of what has widely been called a "sting video" has surprised some Democrats on the Hill, including one aide who called the attention "unexpected." When asked about Republicans' planned investigations into Planned Parenthood, Schakowsky said she wanted an investigation, instead, into the Center for Medical Progress, which she called "a phony company." As opposed to an organization that is actively violating federal law over the use of aborted fetal tissue... Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), another prominent supporter of abortion rights, also dismissed the latest attacks against Planned Parenthood. "They've been attacking Planned Parenthood for years," she said. "They've been calling for investigations for years, and they surface videos and they come on the attack ... and I think it's outrageous." Lee also said she has not seen the video. Nor will she... Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), who is also a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said she had not heard of the video and could not comment. "I'll take a look at it, but I did not see it so I have no idea what's in it," she said. |

| #13 Typical - GOP pol trying to use this rather than simply do the right thing for the right reason. Shows teh GOP in DC has become pretty much the same as the Dems, ethically. Its all about the power and playing gotcha with the other side - they have lost their moral compass. |

| #12 Lawmakers Knew About Planned Parenthood Video Weeks Ago (Video) "Rep. Tim Murphy (R-A$$hole), a member of the House Pro-Life Caucus and chairman of the Energy and Commerce subcommittee looking into the video, said at a Wednesday news conference he’d seen the clip weeks before. Asked afterward why he and others waited until this week to take action, Murphy struggled for an answer before abruptly ending the interview with CQ Roll Call, saying he should not be quoted and remarking, 'This interview didn’t happen.'" |

| #9 Why did the National Socialist Workers Party think so highly of Margaret Sanger's work? Both wanted to eliminate undesirables in their populations. |

| #8 I agree nmu. I would also add that the current state of affairs regarding Roe v Wade is not much different than events and outcomes of the Holocaust. Same dead souls, same class of deniers. |

| #7 De Lauro will NEVER watch the video. Nothing must be seen or heard that might give lie to The Narrativeâ„¢. From a comment on another blog yesterday: "She is such a rabid pro-choice advocate that I often wonder if it is because she is still trying to defend that choice from so long ago. If it becomes illegal again, it is just more proof that what she did was wrong." I think this sums up the vast bulk of the pro-abortion thing. Perhaps the worst and most deadly manifestation of the hamster. |

| #5 I thought yesterday's treatment of this topic was some of the most insightful I've seen. Particularly comments #12 and #13 by Rob and SB. Link |

| #4 Yes, rally nothing quite as revealing as watching someone casually munch starters and sip merlot whilst discussing such a topic. Move over Caligula, you've met your match. |

| #3 The video is chilling for the nonchalance with which the PP doctor describes the crushing locations of the fetus to preserve the desired parts, while eating her lunch. Pure inhumanity on display. Wicked evil sealed seed up as science. |
