<\/div>

As Paul Ryan begins his new duties as Speaker of the House, he is already coming under fire from pro-abortion politicians for his support of the special committee <\/a>created to investigate Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

In a strange welcome letter<\/a>\u00a0to the new speaker, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY, pictured above) urged Ryan to “immediately dismantle… the Select Investigative Panel on Planned Parenthood,” citing “wasted taxpayer money.” Interestingly, Slaughter\u00a0seems to have\u00a0no problem with the millions in taxpayer money wasted annually\u00a0on Planned Parenthood. If we’re really talking about “waste” here, there are plenty of women’s health centers <\/a>that could provide\u00a0more and better\u00a0services – without the legal problems.<\/p>\n

In her letter, Rep. Slaughter calls out pro-life Republicans for investigating what she calls “pet political causes.”<\/a> She’s right – at least partly so. This\u00a0debate is<\/em> about pet political causes – only instead of accusing others, she should look in the mirror. Slaughter is a consistent recipient of campaign donations <\/a>from Planned Parenthood, including $9,999.00 during the 2012 election cycle. According to Slaughter’s congressional website<\/a>, she\u00a0strongly supports “the constitutional right to an abortion.”<\/p>\n

\n

As co-chair of the House Pro Choice Caucus, Congresswoman Slaughter is the leading voice in Congress protecting a woman\u2019s right to choose and defending women\u2019s reproductive freedoms from anti-abortion rights legislation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clearly, Slaughter has a pet political cause of her own.<\/p>\n

While Paul Ryan is known for his controversial willingness to compromise, it is unlikely that he will cave to such groundless demands. The investigative committee on Planned Parenthood still has work to do, and hopefully Ryan will continue to push for results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
