On Tuesday Planned Parenthood President, Cecile Richards, appeared before a House oversight committee to answer questions about why taxpayers should continue providing them federal tax dollars in the wake of the ten now-infamous undercover videos. Right out of the gate, Rep. Jason Chaffetz fired with both barrels, relating his compelling personal story, and excoriating Richards with the organization’s financial stats:

Aside from the barbarity exposed in the videos, Rep. Chaffetz makes excellent points. The central question is: Why does this private organization need our tax dollars? First and foremost, the feds are not tasked with funding anything outside the mandates of our Constitution. You won’t find “Planned Parenthood” anywhere in that document. Secondly, they are bartering the bodies of aborted babies like a commodity, abhorrent to millions of Americans. And lastly, they’re using millions of their yearly profits, pumped up by our tax dollars, to support Democrats and other progressive causes that in turn help keep them funded.

You can view the entire hearing here. Be warned, it’s a clown show at times.

Of course, Rep. Elijah Cummings, Head Obfuscator, was quick to attack the messenger, rather than address what looks like clear violations of federal law.

Nice work, Rep. Cummings. Your donation check from Planned Parenthood should be on its way any day now. Margaret Sanger would be proud.
