Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards is expected to testify next week\u00a0at a\u00a0Congressional hearing, as the House Oversight Committee continues its investigation into the abortion giant’s illegal sale of baby\u00a0body parts.<\/p>\n

According to Politico<\/a>, a Planned Parenthood spokesman confirmed that president Cecile Richards is expected to be invited to testify on Sept. 29.<\/p>\n

“If invited, she will accept that invitation<\/a>,” said Eric Ferrero, vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.<\/p>\n

\"DefundAd-400b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numerous\u00a0undercover videos <\/a>released by The Center for Medical Progress affirm how Planned Parenthood \u00a0\u2014 from its CEO down to the local abortion facility \u2014is entirely engaged in the trafficking of fetal body parts. The investigations show top-level Planned Parenthood executives\u00a0callously haggling over the price of aborted\u00a0baby\u00a0parts, and admitting to changing the abortion procedure to harvest\u00a0higher quality “intact” organs.<\/p>\n

In the tapes, a Planned Parenthood eyewitness even describes\u00a0how a tissue procurement company harvested a brain from a very late-term baby boy with a beating heart. The undercover videos have revealed many shocking and illegal atrocities.<\/p>\n

Last week the House voted in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood <\/a>as investigations continue. Meanwhile, lawmakers\u00a0plan to vote on a continuing resolution that\u00a0would temporarily fund the government until a long-term deal is reached \u2013\u00a0a deal that cuts federal funding to Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
