Typical of the "conservatives" in today's GOP congress...

This whole thing is just the usual guilt by accusation.

Planned Parenthood Not Invited To Congressional Hearing On Planned Parenthood

The House judiciary committee will hear from "experts on the issues surrounding the alleged acts of Planned Parenthood", including two women described as "abortion survivors", but declined to invite representatives from the women's healthcare organization.

The anti-abortion activist group behind the videos, the Center for Medical Progress, claims they show Planned Parenthood illegally profited from its fetal tissue donations. Planned Parenthood has said the videos were heavily altered, and represent the latest attack in a decades-long campaign by culture conservatives to undermine the organization.

The hearing ignores Democrats' request that congressional committees either suspend their investigations into Planned Parenthood or also investigate the actions taken by the Center for Medical Progress.

"As more information has come to light about Planned Parenthood's involvement in fetal tissue research, it has become apparent that the allegations against the organization are without merit," Democratic representatives Elijah Cummings and John Conyers wrote in a letter last week.
