House Votes to Create Panel to Investigate Planned Parenthood

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-votes-create-panel-investigate-planned-parenthood-n440486

The House has voted to create a special committee to investigate Planned Parenthood in the wake of GOP outcry about the group's handling of tissue from aborted fetuses.

The vote was 242 to 184, with two Democrats voting in favor and one Republican voting against.

The measure will create a 13-member panel to probe the organization, which is under fire after a series of sting videos by an anti-abortion group showed Planned Parenthood staff appearing to discuss the cost of the tissue....

Democrats have likened it to the special committee investigating the Benghazi attacks, saying that both are politically-motivated endeavors intended to push narratives harmful to Democratic presidential candidates.


So who were the two DINOs?

Federal dollars devoted to a committee which hopes to put forth a proposal that would lead to more abortions. Indirect as it may be, in the end, it would be federal funds increasing the number of abortions.

Fools!

I thought the edits to the video were well publicized already.

Make stuff up, then investigate it over and over. Rinse and repeat. Thy name is GOP.
