Watch: Congressman Digs Up 3 Words From Planned P’hood Pres.’s Past And DESTROYS Her With Them
During Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards’ testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, only wanted one simple question answered: What was she apologizing for in July after the release of the first undercover video featuring her organization.
The pro-life group the Center for Medical Progress released a video entitled, Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts on July 14. In the video, two actors posing as buyers from a fetal tissue procurement company discuss the price and the means of obtaining aborted babies’ body parts with Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services. The conversation takes place at a nice restaurant, as the doctor casually sips wine and eats her meal. The video cites federal law which makes the sale of body parts illegal.
The video went viral and has garnered over 3 million views to date. Two days later, Planned Parenthood released a video response featuring Cecile Richards. In it, she stated: “In the video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion [Planned Parenthood seeks to manifest]. This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize [emphasis added] for the staff member’s tone and statements.”
During her testimony before the House committee on Tuesday, Richards relied on talking points that Planned Parenthood has been falling back on since the scandal broke, calling the series of videos “highly edited” and filled with “outrageous accusations.”
Rep. Jordan asked her: “If the videos were selectively edited…if this was entrapment, if this was all untrue then why did you apologize?”
Richards responded, saying that it was “inappropriate” for Dr. Nucatola “to have a clinical discussion in a non-confidential, non-clinical setting.”
“But…that’s not what you said,” Jordan fired back. “Which statements in the video were you apologizing for?” He elaborated: “You don’t apologize for things that are inaccurate; you correct them. You apologize for things that are accurate.”
Jordan pressed her multiple times about the “statements” she was apologizing for in her July video, but Richards only repeated that the tone and setting were her concerns.
As the representative’s allotted time was drawing to a close, the Planned Parenthood president said they would have to “agree to disagree.”
“I don’t think we are agreeing to disagree, I think you are not answering my question,” said Jordan.
