Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush want Planned Parenthood investigation

via @learyreports

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio today joined calls for a Congressional investigation into Planned Parenthood.

“The videos speak for themselves," Rubio said a news release. "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.”

Bush, campaigning at a pregnancy center in Spartanburg, S.C., said: "It just troubles me that you would sell body parts. It just makes no sense to me." 

If president, he would call for a review of funding for any organization with a "deep political agenda," according to CNN.

Planned Parenthood says the videos have been edited and distort the truth.
