New York Post (September 9. 2015) — Opening long-awaited congressional hearings, the House Judiciary Committee chairman said Wednesday its Planned Parenthood investigation is aimed at protecting taxpayers against financing the kind of “horrors” suggested by secretly recorded videos of group officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue.
The recordings, made by anti-abortion activists posing as representatives of a company interested in buying fetal tissue, show Planned Parenthood officials casually discussing how they sometimes obtain tissue from aborted fetuses for medical researchers.
With accusations and emotions running high, the committee’s top Democrat said the videos were deceptively edited, but offer no evidence of wrongdoing.
“The real purpose of the videos is to undermine one of the nation’s leading providers of high-quality health care for women,” said Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.).
Republicans are eager to use questions about fetal tissue research to personalize the broader political dispute over abortion, a contentious social issue that could be a factor during the 2016 presidential and congressional campaigns.
The hearing came nearly two months after the Center for Medical Progress began releasing videos that have enraged conservatives, GOP lawmakers and Republican presidential candidates.
Representatives from Planned Parenthood and the center were not scheduled to appear.
Many have accused Planned Parenthood of violating laws that bar for-profit sales of fetal tissue; four congressional committees have begun investigating the organization.
The Conservatives in the Republican House Caucus want to bring the defunding of Planned Parenthood to the floor. They will be able to pass a bill. Of course the problem is in the Senate. Mitch the Bitch McConnell states that he doesn't have the votes so he doesn't even want to make the effort. Doesn't even want to put it on the record who exactly favors chopping up babies for parts like a chop shop in Willets Point. Just the same deal with the Iran treaty. The same phony failure theatre where the Republicans vote against something which they allow to pass because they don't have any balls. They need to use the nuclear option. Screw the filibuster just the way the Democrats do when they want to pass something. That ship has sailed. But don't stop there.
Shut down the government. What did they lose the last time they did that? Despite all the caterwauling and bullshit from the media about how they would be punished by the taxpayers the Republicans won the Congress. Isn't the murder and cutting up of babies for parts by obscene profiteers who want to buy expensive cars and sell human organs to the highest bidder enough for these ball less weasels to take a stand? How bad does it have to be before they say this far and no more?
Why support a party or a politician who can't stand up for what is right?

If the holder of the office of House Speaker were left only to Rs (and one would think it ought to be), Boehner would be gone.
Only the Demos can save him.
Do.
The.
Math.
It doesn't matter if it's blackmail, bribe, combo, or honoring a deal to kill the Tea Party in '12, The Whigs are truly Chuckie Schumer's now.
Troop, did you know there were secret hipster Christians in Brooklyn?
McConnell and Bone-head are in the pockets of the Chamber of Commerce. They want all the goodies in the US budget to keep flowing uninterrupted. They don't care about Abortion and never will.
What about Iran?
Supposedly, the House Conservatives have used the Choom Gang's tactics and forced Boehner to agree to a vote which will say the side deals void the agreement.
Give 'em Hell, guys.
I keep wanting to draw a picture. I can see parts of it but not all of it. Maybe I'll just start drawing and piece them together.
I want waterwheels delivering money by buckets that come from all of us no matter our views, to PP that is its own gear spinning out baby doll parts but that is an exchange so PP has two sources of cash flows. Do I suppose incorrectly the patients pay something too? Because that would be three and if insurance is involved and it most likely is, then four sources of income.
Pregnant women have their own gear turning around where it grinds with PP gear the women come out flattened the baby doll parts are carried off by conveyor in the opposite direction, when followed result in a pile, that is shaken and sorted to various parts and distributed as candy, potato chips, Doritos, M&Ms, fried pork skins what have you ,
Here's where I get stopped.
The gear that accepts sorted, packaged, posted baby doll parts from PP and returns another waterwheel of cash is called "broker" that conveys to "research labs" and returns money as a flow from lab to broker to PP, but for the life of me I haven't a clue what they research. Nine videos later and that one critical bit has not been clarified that I noticed. Maybe they do say and I didn't catch it. Maybe it's important and cannot be made fun of. Osmosis doesn't absorb everything. It has its drawbacks in situations like this, I keep waiting to hear something about the nature of research that could possibly justify somehow, someway for somebody, but no, nothing. And I expect because they know themselves their answer will be so mundane or prosaic it will outrage further by equating those parts with High School experimental live toads.
The picture would didactic pedantic macabre and not funny.
The sort of thing you follow awhile and go, bleh.
*furiously draws*
