Congressional Democrats have opened their own investigation into the Planned Parenthood videos — but into the group that took the footage in which officials haggle over the prices of organs and discuss keeping a baby alive so his brain can be harvested. The Center for Medical Progress may have broken federal laws in setting up a false-front company to secretly record Planned Parenthoodemployees talking about these and other practices, the Democrats say.That's right. Democrats don't have a problem with Mengele-esque vivisection, or with medical techs cutting through a baby's face to extract its brain, but they think a "false front company" is a bridge too far.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, also said it's possible some of his colleagues in Congress knew about CMP's activities and didn't flag them for potential illegal behavior. "These disturbing actions raise questions about whether the Center for Medical Progress has broken federal or state laws, and whether some members of Congress may have been aware of these potentially illegal activities before they were made public earlier this year,"Again, please note: The "disturbing" part is the method employed to make the tapes, not the ghoulish behavior they captured. I'd say that every Democrat voter in America should be ashamed of this, but clearly that ship sailed a long time ago. If you're still voting for these people, shame's probably not "your thing." So I'll just say this: Is this the hill the DNC wants to die on? If it is - if they really want this fight - that's fine. But the more they dig their heels into a defense of Planned Parenthood, the more the ground will slip away beneath them.
