Planned Parenthood boss clashes with lawmakers over taxpayer $$, videos

The head of Planned Parenthood clashed with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill Tuesday over the group's taxpayer funding, while using her appearance to attack the group behind a series of disturbing videos showing her organization's workers discussing fetal tissue harvesting.

Cecile Richards, speaking before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, claimed the videos were "deceptively edited" and "heavily doctored."

Yet just minutes before the hearing started, a forensic analysis said the videos "are authentic and show no evidence of manipulation or editing." The analysis was conducted for the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress.

Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, also seemed to brush off the claims of doctoring as he excoriated Planned Parenthood for its allegedly "insatiable" desire for taxpayer dollars. He pointedly cited the millions the group has spent on travel and parties and "fairly exorbitant salaries" even while cutting back, he said, on certain health care services.

Chaffetz alluded to PP's drive to get more and more taxpayer dollars as completely out of line with its recent cutback on the women's healthcare services it offers while at the same time spending somewhat lavishly on public relations events wooing donors and lawmakers.

It's all pretty disgusting.

Surely the original filmers have access to the full footage...BRING IT ON!!

Then again, it sounds like an empty denial on Richards part...

Exactly. That's all these murderers are good at, making excuses for their crimes against the unborn, as well as against the taxpayer.

I don't usually talk in such absolutes, but this woman really ticked me off this morning. I had to turn off the TV.
