House lawmakers on Friday voted to strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood for a year unless it stops performing abortions. The vote follows a series of Republican-led hearings on heavily edited videos released by an anti-choice group which show Planned Parenthood employees discussing the sharing of fetal tissue with researchers. At one hearing, Arizona Republican Congressmember Trent Franks acknowledged Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee had neither seen or requested the full, unedited videos. On Friday, Florida Democratic Congressmember Lois Frankel denounced the bill defunding Planned Parenthood.

Rep. Lois Frankel: “I want to say this as respectfully as possible, but this bill is dumb, it’s foolish, and it’s mean-spirited, with only one purpose, and that is to punish one of our country’s premier health organizations because it provides women access to an array of services that we need to lead healthy lives.”
