| HEADLINES |  | | Congress to investigate Planned Parenthood abortion business Life News
A Congressional committee has taken the first steps in investigating the Planned Parenthood abortion business over abuses ranging from financial disparities to its compliance with federal regulations on taxpayer funding to concerns that it is covering up cases of sex trafficking. In a September 15 letter LifeNews.com obtained, Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican who is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Investigations, writes to Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood. "Pursuant to Rules X and XI of the United States House of Representatives, the Committee on Energy and Commerce is examining the institutional practices and policies of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and its affiliates, and its handling of federal funding," Stearns writes. "That Committee has questions about the politics in place and actions undertaken by PPFA and its affiliates relating to its use of federal funding and its compliance with federal restrictions on the funding of abortion." | | Religious exemptions under fire in health care coverage Citizen Link The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wraps up a public comment period Friday on a new interim rule requiring nearly all private health plans to cover contraception, sterilization and possible abortifacients as free "preventive" care for women. If the rule is adopted, insurers would be forced to cover all methods approved by the Food and Drug Administration - including so-called emergency contraception pills - and individuals who object to them on moral and religious grounds would be forced to subsidize them. |
| Medical committee behind HHS birth control mandate tied to NARAL, Planned Parenthood Life Site News The medical committee behind the federal government's impending mandate that insurers cover birth control without co-pay is populated by board members of NARAL and Planned Parenthood, as well as major donors to politicians favoring legal abortion. The pro-life organization HLI America says public records show the ideological roots of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee, which recommended virtually all private health insurers pay for FDA-approved contraception as essential "preventive care" under the new health care law, including drugs that can cause early abortions. IOM, a non-governmental organization tapped by federal health officials to recommend the new guidelines, describes itself on its website as "provid[ing] unbiased and authoritative advice to decision makers." | |
