On August 14, the Committee sent letters to Ms. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Burwell to better understand the role of federal funding in Planned Parenthood operations.
In that HHS provides a significant portion of the federal funds that Planned Parenthood receives, the Committee seeks to understand the Department’s oversight of these funds including what restrictions or regulations apply to the use of funding provided by HHS to Planned Parenthood or its affiliates.
Additionally, the Committee is interested in understanding what medical services are provided by Planned Parenthood that are not provided by a state’s Medicaid program or by a plan provided under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
On September 9, Chairman Jason Chaffetz and Health Care, Benefits and Administrative Rules Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan sent letters to StemExpress and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). The Committee is requesting all unedited video footage from CMP relating to the acquisition, preparation, and sale of fetal tissue. StemExpress has been identified as a company that procured fetal tissue from one or more Planned Parenthood centers. The Committee seeks documents and materials to more fully understand the process by which StemExpress obtained fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.
On September 15, Chairman Chaffetz issued a subpoena to CMP for all unedited video footage in their possession relating to the acquisition, preparation, and sale of fetal tissue.
On September 18, Chairmen Chaffetz and Jordan sent a follow-up letter to HHS reiterating their request for documents as outlined in their August 14 letter. The Committee described its intent to use a compulsory process if HHS does meet the deadline of September 21.
On September 22, the Committee formally noticed a hearing for September 29 to examine the use of taxpayer funding by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. (PPFA) and its affiliates. PPFA President Cecile Richards is expected to testify.
On September 29, the Committee held a hearing on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding and published a memo of its findings on the Planned Parenthood Investigation.

Planned Parenthood spends millions on travel, galas and real estate.

Taxpayer dollars subsidize Planned Parenthood’s political affiliates.

On October 14, the Committee received all unedited video footage from CMP as required by a subpoena. A viewing room was set up where all Committee members and staff – majority and minority – have equal access to view the footage.
RESULTS
On October 13, Planned Parenthood announced that it will no longer accept reimbursements to cover the costs of fetal tissue donations. Chairman Chaffetz issued the following statement:
“This is a good, tangible result of the collective efforts of the House in investigating Planned Parenthood. It is helpful in taking away some questions surrounding their transactions involving fetal tissue. Significant questions still remain about Planned Parenthood’s finances. This decision does not answer the question as to why a non-profit, tax-exempt organization reporting approximately $125M in revenue over expenses annually needs a subsidy from the American taxpayer. The Committee will continue its investigation into Planned Parenthood’s use of federal taxpayer dollars.”
Agreed.
Just watched the Potter meltdown.
…so what the hell is a non-nuclear Defcon 1?

Brilliant if intended. Good eye, anon.
