House Republicans Grill Planned Parenthood President

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform grilled Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards during a hearing on September 29. The Republican-controlled committee is holding a series of hearings to investigate allegations raised in videos that Planned Parenthood is harvesting cells from aborted fetuses and selling them.

There has been an effort by Congressional Republicans to stop federal funding reaching Planned Parenthood.

Some of the questions were about how Planned Parenthood uses of its funding, specifically for lobbying and activist efforts. Richards said federal dollars are not used in any of the organization’s lobbying efforts. Credit: YouTube/House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
