After failing to de-fund Planned Parenthood in February, now the GOP is leading a House probe to see if the organization has used public funds for abortion services.
The investigation is an abuse of government resources. Planned Parenthood is regularly audited by the Department of Health and Human Services, and has consistently been found to be in compliance with federal law. 97% of the health care provider's services are non-abortion related, and include things like screening for cancer and STD tests. House Democrats wrote a letter to the Republican leading the investigation calling it "unwarranted" and "designed to harass and shut down an organization simply because Republicans disagree with the work that it does."
The probe is part of a broader right-wing assault on health care and reproductive rights. Remind our Reps that Planned Parenthood makes health care more accessible, and that this probe is unnecessary and wasteful, especially when so many Americans need jobs.
