Rubio Joins Ernst's Bipartisan Effort Urging HHS Secretary To Comply With Planned Parenthood Investigations, Conduct Assessment To Facilitate Congressional Review

Press Release

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today joined with Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and 48 of their fellow senators urging Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell to cooperate with ongoing and future investigations into the legal, ethical, and policy issues raised by footage from the Center for Medical Progress depicting senior Planned Parenthood Federation of America executives discussing in gruesome detail the organization's role in the harvesting of the organs of unborn babies.

"The videos speak for themselves," Rubio said. "The cruel and callous language used by senior Planned Parenthood officials is sickening, shows a complete disregard for innocent unborn life, not to mention Planned Parenthood's clients, and speaks to an organization that is morally bankrupt. There is simply no justification for an organization that fosters this kind of culture to receive a penny of taxpayer funding, and there should be a serious and impartial investigation into the grotesque practices revealed by the video."
