I thank my good friend for yielding. A sure sign that the Republican Planned Parenthood hearing failed is that they are now embracing their default, the much-discredited Benghazi Select Committee strategy. But, the Government Reform Planned Parenthood hearing left Planned Parenthood as strong as ever. The majority is trying to do to the Nation's women what they have done to D.C., now deprived of the right to spend even local funds on abortion. But no Federal funds go to abortion, so what is left? Women's health care. All that this witch-hunting select committee will do is highlight the new GOP war on women.
