House Republicans Launch Investigation into Planned Parenthood 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Capitol Hill, House Republicans have launched an
investigation of Planned Parenthood. The investigation comes one day
after anti-choice activists released a video that appears to show a
Planned Parenthood employee telling activists posing as biotechnology
representatives that the organization shares fetal tissue with
researchers. Planned Parenthood said that it does not charge for the
fetal tissue, which is consistent with the employee's comments in the
video. House Republicans have launched an investigation, claiming the
organization is illegally selling the tissue for a profit.
