Nothing gets between Democrats and their beloved taxpayer-funded abortions.
(LifeNews) — More members of Congress — all Democrats — have come out in strong opposition to the impending investigation a House committee launched this week, when the head of an oversight committee requested numerous documents from the abortion business. . .
Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, has responded to the investigation with the kind of polemic comments similar to those Planned Parenthood issued in response. He follows the new chair, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, of the Democratic Party, who also condemned the investigation.
Blumenthal calls the investigation an “abusive witch hunt by Republicans” that is “an unconscionable waste of taxpayer dollars” despite the fact that planned Parenthood receives $363 million annually in taxpayer funding from all levels of government. He said the probe is “harassment of a trusted healthcare provider for millions of women and families in Connecticut and across the country.”
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat, has also come to the defense of the abortion giant, which makes over $1 billion a year.
“With the recent announcement of their needless and politically motivated investigation of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, House Republicans continue to make their extreme agenda clear: to undermine women’s access to reproductive health care and attack the health providers they rely on in their communities,” she said, failing to note Planned Parenthood’s role as an abortion business.
“This is not about federal funding of abortion. This is about cutting off women’s access to affordable, quality care in an effort to score political points. Now is the time to be working on the issues that are most important to Americans — creating jobs and improving the economy,” she said.
Ohio congressman Tim Ryan, also a Democrat, complained as well about the probe to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for alleged financial improprieties and potential coverup of possible cases of sexual abuse and statutory rape.
