Various pro-life groups -- American Life League among them -- are joining with Americans United for Life in calling for a government probe of Planned Parenthood.
AUL has submitted a 181-page report on how Congress and state governments can effectively investigate Planned Parenthood. The Case for Investigating Planned Parenthood alleges the abortion-provider "often tries to underplay the significance of abortion to its business model," pointing out abortion "has a tremendous impact" on the group's bottom line financially.
Jim Sedlak of American Life League (ALL) says he was not surprised with the content of the report.
"It was great to see it all put together," he tells OneNewsNow. "It just lays out for the congressmen why this organization is not deserving of any taxpayer money. And since we have a real deficit problem in DC, I think they ought to just cut out Planned Parenthood completely and that'll at least help a little bit towards solving the problem."
Sedlak says pro-life groups have proof the abortion business has violated the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits use of tax dollars for abortion. The ALL spokesman adds that the League has released a new video (right) showing how the Hyde Amendment does pay for some abortions.
"Abortions that they don't pay for, Planned Parenthood uses other government money to pay for programs so that it can free up money to do abortions," he says.
All in all with the information that has surfaced about Planned Parenthood over the past decade, Sedlak suggests it is time for Congress put the organization under close scrutiny.
