The long-running calls for the federal government to cease all funding directed toward Planned Parenthood have once again come to the fore. This time, a congressional vote and debate took shape after an anti-abortion group secretly recorded a series of videos with the organization's medical officers and staff speaking dispassionately — some would say dismissively — about the work of extracting fetal tissue from aborted fetuses and and transferring it to research facilities.

Was surprised to read that abortion is only accounts for 3% of Planned Parenthood services.
4:06 SHOCKING statistic. From the way people are going after PP you would think that is all that they do all day long.
Yes, and they don't even consider the benefit of access to contraceptives...a reduction in abortions overall.
Planned Parenthood is a woman hating machine. They want to save you as long as you are in the womb...but after that ...they are not interested in you until you are old enough to tote a gun. All conservatives...according to George Carlin.
