Planned Parenthood’s president appeared before Congress Tuesday\u00a0to testify on the abortion business’ role in the trafficking of fetal body parts. In a hearing before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Cecile Richards claimed the organization abides by the law, despite numerous videos showing top-level Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the body parts of aborted children.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards was questioned on the organization’s lobbying efforts, lavish expenditures and salaries, and the over $500 million it receives in taxpayer funding.<\/p>\n

When questioned on why she apologized for callous statements made by Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in the first video, Richards stated she apologized for Nucatola’s tone. The Planned Parenthood president, however, said she is grateful for the “compassionate” care exhibited by Nucatola, stating,\u00a0“I am proud of her.”<\/p>\n

Nucatola’s horrific statements reflect that the care patients receive from Planned Parenthood is, however, far from compassionate. Nucatola, who was the first abortionist to be featured in undercover tapes by The Center for Medical Progress, cavalierly discusses crushing the bodies of aborted children during a\u00a0lunchtime conversation with\u00a0investigators posing as a tissue procurement company.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d say a lot of people want liver,” Nucatola said. “And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they\u2019ll know where they\u2019re putting their forceps.”<\/p>\n
