Huelskamp Responds to GAO's Investigation of Planned Parenthood's Taxpayer Subsidies

Statement

Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) issued the following statement regarding the Government Accountability Office's investigation of Planned Parenthood's funding streams.

"Sixteen months ago, I joined seventy-one fellow Members of Congress to demand a Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation into how Planned Parenthood, the largest abortionist in the world, uses our tax dollars. Last week, GAO finally completed their investigation and confirmed much of what we already knew -- massive amounts of taxpayer dollars are being pocketed by a group that is snuffing out the lives of nearly 900 babies every day. Handing over 500 million tax dollars annually to a group of abortionists rife with abuses, including fraudulent Medicaid claims, cover-up of rape and incest, and violations of the Hyde Amendment is not only controversial -- it is immoral."
