House GOP, Planned Parenthood Chief to Face Off Over Undercover Videos
(Worthy News) – House conservatives aren’t expected to force a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood funding this week, but they are gearing up for a public face off with the organization and its president, Cecile Richards.
Richards is set to appear on Capitol Hill today to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
The hearing is the latest episode of what Republicans promise will be a sustained campaign to investigate the organization and its practices.
Richards is expected to aggressively defend her organization according to written testimony she submitted to the Oversight Committee, which ABC News obtained. She is particularly critical of David Daleiden, whose group, the Center for Medical Progress, has released a series of undercover videos allegedly showing employees of the group discussing the distribution and sale of fetal tissue.
