<\/div>

It’s reminiscent of the clich\u00e9 about the fox running the hen house. The House Select Investigative Panel investigating Planned Parenthood has six Democratic members, all of them with significant money from the abortion industry.<\/p>\n

Red State reports<\/a> on the breakdown of Planned Parenthood\u2019s payments to these members of the Congressional committee:<\/p>\n

\n

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> $41,485
\n<\/strong>Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> $19,232
\n<\/strong>Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)<\/span> <\/span>: $13,115
\n<\/strong>Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)<\/span> <\/span>: $5,785
\n<\/strong>Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA)<\/span><\/span> (D-CA): $4,800
\n<\/strong>Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ)<\/span> <\/span>: $2,500<\/strong> (a freshman Member of Congress)<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t the half of it.\u00a0 The abortion industry as a whole has been stuffing these members\u2019 campaign coffers with hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The story reports that the pro-abortion\u00a0“Emily\u2019s List, has given the ranking member of this panel, which is supposed to be investigating the abortion industry\u2019s legally dubious practice of selling aborted babies\u2019 body parts…,” Rep. Schakowsky, over $64,000 dollars in direct campaign contributions.\u00a0 It has handed Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA)<\/span><\/span> over $48,000.” And NARAL Pro-Choice America gave Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>over $31,000 and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>over $19,000.<\/p>\n

According to Red State<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

All totaled, the abortion industry has paid more than $305,000 for the six Democrats appointed to the Select Investigative Panel tasked with investigating Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

But this only accounts for direct campaign contributions and does not include the potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars more in independent expenditures on these members\u2019 behalf.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Live Action recently reported<\/a> on Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked choices for this committee, but no one is fooled by her tactics. The committee could have been assembled by the abortion industry itself. Even in a court of law, attorneys get to strike jurors they don’t believe will offer a fair verdict. Of course, this isn’t a court of law; it’s Congress, so basic ethical protocol is irrelevant.<\/p>\n

With a blatant conflict of interest in the face of the nation, it should be clear that it would be impossible for those on Planned Parenthood’s payroll to conduct a fair hearing, but somehow such kangaroo tactics prevail. It would behoove those in a position to make noise about this to create a boisterous clang. Red State notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

While Minority Leader Pelosi mocks that this is a \u201cSelect Committee to Attack Women\u2019s Health<\/a>,\u201d her Democrat appointees are trying to create the Select Committee to Protect Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not interested in the truth. They\u2019re not interested in the law.\u00a0 They\u2019re not interested in defending women (especially unborn women).\u00a0 They\u2019re only interested in defending abortion \u2013 at all cost (though it seems to pay well).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So while a Congressional committee investigates Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood and its supporters are paying many of those committee members. The abortion industry owns these Democrats, just like it owns the blood of millions of innocent babies slain for profits.<\/p>\n

Blood money runs deep in the nation–and in the nation’s capitol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
