House report: Planned Parenthood spent millions on ‘blowout’ parties, travel, salaries

Planned Parenthood and its affiliates have spent millions in recent years on "blowout" parties, first-class travel and "lucrative" salaries, according to a report from the chairman of the House oversight committee.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, publicly accused the organization of spending a big chunk of its budget on non-health care expenses during a heated hearing on Tuesday. But on the sidelines of that hearing, he released a report detailing those costs.

In doing so, he and other Republicans continued to question whether Planned Parenthood needs all the taxpayer funding it receives.

"If they're going to pay those people that much money and pay for first-class travel and have all of these exorbitant parties, and send money overseas, then they don't need funding from the American taxpayers," Chaffetz told Fox News.

So what?

Same as any company's top executives, recipients of corporate welfare.

Besides, prevention of future criminals is well worth celebrating.

That woman earns $520,000 a year to get up there and lie like she has done. Cut all that funding, NOW.

This is an organization that put $22 million into its PAC, all of it supporting the Democratic Party. Those dollars came from money provided by the government. And around and around it goes.

I still don't get how abortion is a women's "health" issue, except in the very, very rare case where the woman's health is actually threatened by the pregnancy. 330,000 PP abortions annually seems a high number if they're only preserving women's health.

Every rich and famous have made millions of dollars off this organization, including individual Democrat and Republican party representative. Now they want to shut it down. Well, shut it down. The program is no longer needed. Stop using work class tax paying income to find a program that is no longer needed. She it down.
