Murray as GOP Doubles Down on Partisan, Wasteful Planned Parenthood Investigations: Let's Focus on Real Challenges

Statement

Date: Feb. 24, 2016
Location: Washington, DC

"It is deeply disappointing to see Republicans disregarding the evidence, doubling down on their efforts to undermine Planned Parenthood, and once again, using women's access to health care as a political football. Twelve state investigations have cleared Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing, and holding up a nominee to a key public health post won't change the facts.

"While some of my Republican colleagues may want to head straight into silly season, families and communities rightly expect us to be working together on the real challenges they face every day. I hope that instead of wasting time and taxpayer dollars tilting at Tea Party windmills and trying to undermine women's access to health care, my Republican colleagues will reconsider and join us in doing the real work we're here to do."
