so there is a level of respect that cecile richards is here in person. their group, planned parenthood, is providing documents. she's getting praise for being cooperative with congress, even amid these certainly strong lines of disagreement. >> i can tell you i think the chairman has said she was very cooperative but the line of questioning from congressman jim jordan of ohio i think many people would describe certainly as aggressive in that he was definitely elevated in his tone with her. >> predictably tough from him. and you'll see it -- again, we always know that these moments are an opportunity for lawmakers to showcase some of their views and those clips end up on their own websites and all of that. so there is some theater as well as some real investigatory nature to this. >> kelly, thank you very much. we'll continue to follow the hearing and bring you any big developments from it. >>> i wants to get you caught up on another story developing right now. a clemency hearing is about to get under way for a woman on death row in georgia. just hours fr

where is their cecile richards? they won't let the guy behind these bogus videos testify because they know he can't withstand the truth. >> yeah. i was sort of surprised by that actually. that the organization that conducted this fairly sophisticated operation of setting up sort of fake organizations and getting in with cameras to produce these videos the person who runs that, that you would think the republican committee would want to hear from him also. >> you know, the republicans, what was interesting about today is it was a perfect panel gent of the extreme gop priorities, right? there was a total disregard for facts. there was a complete denigration and disdain for women. cecile most specifically but women in general. and there is this obsession with outlawing abortion at the expense of everything else that needs to happen in this country. david daleiden is the perfect example of that but he can't actually testify because the gop knows he's a house of cards that will fold. >> you know, the other context that s

cecile richards: thank you, mr. chairman. be here today speaking on behalf of planned , a leading provider of high-quality reproductive health care in america. one in five women in this country have sought care from a planned parenthood health center. they trust us because our rigorous health care standards have been developed with the nation's top medical experts history.99 year there has been a great deal of misinformation circulated about planned parenthood recently, and i want to be absolutely clear at the outset. the federal funding planned parenthood receives allows our doctors and clinicians to provide birth control, cancer screenings, and testing and treatment for stds. while the federal policy in my opinion discriminates against no federalwomen, funds pay for abortion services at planned parenthood or anywhere else, except in limited circumstances allowed by law. this is when a woman has been t,ped, the victim of inces or when her life is endangered. planned parenthood operates like all other hospitals that provide m

the head of the women's health organization, cecile richards, is under fire for ten undercover videos produced by anti-abortion activists that went viral this summer. >> we provide breast exams to -- i can get you the numbers of how many of thousands of women receive breast exams at planned parenthood last year. has nothing to do with -- again, here's the problem -- >> you created this lie. it's the reduction over the course of years in pink. that's the reduction in the breast exams. the red is the increase in the abortions. that's what's going on in your organization. >> this is a slide that has never been shown to me before. i'm happy to look at it. it absolutely does not reflect what's happening at planned parenthood. >> you're going to deny that if we take the numbers out of your report -- >> no one has provided us that before. we've provided you all the information about everything, all the services that planned parenthood provides. doesn't feel like we're trying to get to the truth. you just showed me this, and i'm happy to look at it. >> i pulled the numbers out of your corpora

. >> ceo cecil richards, who appeared before the over sight committee discussed how they spend their money. >> could you function on non-federal dollars? why do you need federal dollars. you're making a ton of dough. >> we don't make any profit off federal money. >> but you're using $1.6 million. >> it was at times an emotional hearing. >> it's unacceptable in the 21st century that women in america are routinely harassed for accessing a legal medical procedure. after this recent smear campaign it has only gotten worst. >> lord almighty what is america coming to? the disrespect, the pisan the the misoginy of what is going on here. >> this is now the voss viable way forward. >> on a separate track republicans led by paul ryan of wisconsin, chairman of the powerful ways and means committee turned to a procedure measure to try to strip funding for planned parenthood. budget reconciliation is a process that allows bills to be passed with a simple majority, which in this case would block any filibuster. any bill that removes funding from planned parenthood is certainly to be vetoed by pres

why cecille richards says she's proud. . house lawmakers got their first chance to question the head of planned parenthood and those undercover video, cecille richards did her best to defend the organization, against what she called a smear campaign. >> planned parenthood has been in the news recently deceptively edited videos. the latest smear campaign is based on efforts by our opponents to entrap our doctors and clinicians into breaking the law. it is unacceptable that in the 21st century women in america are routinely harassed for accessing a legal medical procedure. >> champions of the planned parenthood have claimed for years that without the group women would not have access to mammogr mammograms, richards was forced to admit that's not the truth. >> how many much of your affiliates have those mammogram machines. >> our health centers are part of our affiliates, we have more than 650 health centers. so affiliate is the corporate structure. >> how many of them have mammogram official sheens. >> affiliate isn't a health

. >> it has been intense, and cecile richards has been able to really withstand a lot of that intense questioning. she's remained poised and calm throughout. one of the issues though centered about her actual words. shortly after the very first video had come out, she issued an apology. an ohio lawmaker, conservative member, jim jordan, pressed her on what she was apologizing for. here's the exchange. >> so is what you said in your video untrue? you weren't really apologizing for statements made? >> i was apologizing for what was said in a non-clinical setting, in a not appropriate way, and i don't believe -- >> you can't have both ways. you can't say, i'm apologizing for statements in one video, and then not tell us what the statements were. >> that really remained an unresolved issue, what specifically she was apologizing for. she has explained that fetalish ti -- fetal tissue research is a limited part of what planned parenthood does, and it's at the content of the patient. the money involved is less than the cost of reimbursement. it has nothing to do with for profit. that's what

this isn't about cecile richards. it's not about planned parenthood. it's about a war on the very health care services that will provide women an opportunity to be autonomous and to take care of themselves and their families. and we have to make sure and fight to assure that they continue to have access to the services that they need to do that. >> tammy duckworth, quickly, before we go, when you're in private conversations with republicans and they say to you, look planned parenthood doesn't provide anything that women can't get elsewhere. how do you respond to that. >> what happened in committee today, jim jordan from ohio implied that if we didn't fund planned parenthood, we could use that money for things like the department of defense. well n the hearing actually what i said was, you know, of all the women in the military who are victims of military sexual trauma, sometimes planned parenthood is the only source of the care that they need and to go after planned parenthood is ironic, because these are the same women who defend and continue to defen

for five hours cecil richards genneded the organization against a variety of charges, including a claim that it made money by selling foetal tissue. house republicans are trying to cut off their federal funding. many have threatened to shut down the government unless that happens. michael shure has the story from washington. >> good evening. you hit the nail on the head with that. it's more than about the right to life. this is once again a fight between the democrats and the republicans in congress. it was a contentious day on capitol hill, and marked by an issue in planned parenthood. today there was a lot of back and forth and combat in congress. >> a day before the government is set to run out of money, the battle over planned parenthood raged. from the house floor. >> that we stop beating up planned parenthood. >> to the senate. >> we ought to ban funding of tax dollars for planned parentho parenthood. >> and in committee, where prosecutors continued the attack. >> i don't want to be numb to wasting the taxpayers dollars. as best i can tell, this is an organization that doesn't nee

as a result, cecil richards as they made the argument doing more than providing abortion. >> reporter: they came to capitol hill with a message for congress, don't defund planned parenthoods. they say for many, it's the only access to health care. courtney was in graduate school suffering endometriosis. she turned to planned parenthood when she couldn't afford the medication. >> i worked hard to get into the graduation programme. and then i had to look at getting a job and not study. planned personed hood helped. >> the health clinics provide adortions, violating the religious belief of some members. and the comfort of others. after reports showed the openly discussed sale of tissues for profits. >> many are incensed and are threatening to cut the more than $450 million in federal funding and are demanding answers. >> the outrageous accusations levelled against planned parenthood based on heavily doctored videos are offensive and untrue. the taxpayers have a right to know how this money is being - how taxpayer dollars are used to free up services that you provide that are aberrant. >>

. >> the president of planned parenthood cecil richards, about why her organization should retain andeceive 150,000 in funds. as of late they became a target because of video that surfaced that show executives of planned parenthood offering baby parts or foetal tissue for research for sale and profiting from that. it outraged war-makers as a result, cecil richards faced tough questioning as she made the arrangement this they do more than provide abortions. >> reporter: they came to capital hill with a message, don't defund planned parenthood saying their og access to affordable health care. courtney was in graduate school suffering endomeetry oatize. she turned to planned parenthood when she couldn't afford the medication. >> i turned to planned parenthood to get the medication. >> reporter: not everyone sees planned parenthood as a benevolent organization. they provide abortion violating some members after video safrs exposed planned parenthood executives discussing the abortion of foetal tissue. many if congress are incensed and threaten to cut $450 in federal funding for the clinic

these are exchanges between congresswoman jason chaffetz from utah and cecile richards. take a listen. >> we provide breast exams to -- i can get you the numbers -- how many of thousands of women received breast exams at planned parenthood last year has nothing to do with -- i don't, again, you created this lie, i have no idea what it is. >> here's the problem -- well, it's the reduction over the course of years in pink, that's the reduction in the breast exam and the red is the increase in the abortion. >> i -- >> that's what's going on in your organization. >> this is a slide that has never been shown to me before. i'm happy to look at it and i -- but it absolutely does not reflect what's happening at planned parenthood. >> you're going to deny -- >> i'm going to deny the slide you have just shown me, that no one has ever provided us before. we've provided you all the information about everything, all the services that planned parenthood has provided. and you just showed me this and i'm happy to look at it. >> i pulled those numbers directly out of my corporate reports

this is between cecille richards the wjs fritness from planned parenthood and jim jordan, the congressman from ohio. >> miss richards, if the videos were selectively edited, heavily edited, if it were entrapment and it were all untrue, then why did you apologize? >> congressman, first, i think everyone has agreed they were heavily edited and that certainly i think even the perpetrator has agreed they were done under cover. i spoke with dr. nukatola who was featured in one of the videos and i thought it was important in my opinion -- in my opinion, in my opinion, it was inappropriate to have a clinical discussion of -- in a non -- you know, a nonconfidential, nonclinical setting and i told her that. >> what were you apologizing for? >> that she used i think in my judgment it was bad judgment to have a clinical discussion in a nonclinical setting and that's -- >> the first video july 14th, two days later you go and issue an apology and you said this. it's unacceptable. i personally apologize for the tone and statements. >> that's what i felt like -- >> no, no. here's the question. which sta

planned parenthood's president cecile richards faced off with republican lawmakers before a house panelesday amid renewed republican attempts to defund the national health organization. during the hearing before the house oversight and government reform committee, richards responded to utah congressman jason chaffetz's claims that planned parenthood uses federal -- misuses federal funding. >> there has been a great till of misinformation and i want to be absolutely clear at the outset, the federal funding that planned parenthood receives allows our doctors and clinicians an hour l centers to provide birth control, cancer screenings, and testing and treatments for sexually transmitted infections. amy: cecile richards then went on to testify that planned parenthood does not sell fetal tissue to researchers, and that the videos republicans are using to make these claims are heavily edited and do not serve as evidence. >> the outrageous accusations leveled against planned parenthood based on heavily doctored videos are offensive and categorically untrue. i realize, though, the fact have nev

exchange between cecile richards and jim jordan, the president of the freedom caucus.video clip] i was reflecting on that video, no particular statement, it did not reflect the compassionate care that we provide. raises an important question. is what you said in your video on true? you were not apologizing for statements made? >> i was apologizing for what was said in a nonclinical setting in a non-appropriate way. i do not believe -- way.u cannot have it both you cannot say you're apologizing for statements in one video, and then not tell us what the statements were. >> i do not believe that dr. -- i was really not apologizing for any statements. you can say that on the record, but it cannot be both positions. it has to be one. i want to know which one it is. in my judgment, it was inappropriate to have that conversation in a nonclinical setting in a nonconfidential area about clinical matters. i have told that to the doctor. i will also tell you -- you say that? this wasn't a reporter sticking a microphone in your face. this was a video that you produced to send out.

cecile richards is cut off, interrupted and was on the verge of tears at one point s. this all political theater? >> a lot of it is political theater. i served on the overnight and government reform committee for a number of years and the same actors on the republican side turn into bullies and they don't let witnesses finish their answers or even answer at the beginning. they're oftentimes pontificating with whatever speech. we do disagree. people on the right, people on the left that don't agree and doesn't mean you tell lies. that doesn't mean you bludgeon people. the truth of the matter is that planned parenthood funding in this country by the federal government does not go for abortions. pure and simple. it is outlawed. the only money -- sorry. >> go ahead. >> the only money going to planned parenthood is for the health screening that women need. breast cancer screenings, to have screenings for uterine cancer. it's all about trying to protect the health of a woman. and when you have figures that reach 86,000, this's how many in a year planned parenthood will actua

now instead of hearing apologies or a defensive cecil richards, we're hearing someone going on offense. she says in no way has the organization profited from selling fetal tissue. and just 1% of nearly 700 clinics across the country obtain tissue that is sold at cost for medical research. she ask also talking about the other work that planned parenthood does. today there is a big effort to show americans that planned parenthood does have supporters here in washington and in all 50 states. they are calling it a national pink out. republicans are very critical of planned parenthood. they don't buy the lines they are hearing from this organization, and they basically want to strip it of funding, so this is one of the mechanisms they are using to try to push back at the organization, randall. >> libby with the fact that the senate has already cleared the funding bill, what hope do the republicans in the house have of stopping funding and/or shutting down the government? >> yeah, that's a good question. the planned parenthood issue has really been rolled into this bigger question of whether

and when she went out, asking her about cecile richards on capitol hill, any reaction to this, she continuedsay her campaign is on a tight schedule, but there's not been media availability for us, at least here today with carly fiorina. that said, this has been what you might call a central part of her candidacy so far. remember, chuck, just last week, she was at the pregnancy center in south carolina. she attended an ultrasound with a woman there. she was surrounded by dozens of supporters who appreciated her full-throated attack against planned parenthood and her stance on this abortion debate. so this has been key for fiorina. she did bring up her business record, her comparing politics to business and how in politics, you can say anything, she says, and in business, you have to look at the facts and you have to back up your words with action, essentially. this is part of the strategy that she seems to be running on, chuck. she wants to portray herself as this fighter, as a leader who can make tough decisions and hope that that resonates with voters. >> it's a very strong quote that she s

. >> reporter: but inside of the capitol, the president of planned parenthood, cecile richards faced hours, of sometimes confrontational questions. >> you can't tell me how much you make from abortions? you can't give me that number? you can't tell me how much you make from abortions? >> reporter: planned parenthood is under political fire from the campaign trail to the capitol. republicans want to strip federal funding, due to controversial undercover videos made by anti-abortion activists. >> if this is untrue, then why did you apologize? >> well congressman, first, think i everyone agreed they were heavily edited. >> and my question is why did you apologize. >> reporter: planned parenthood provide services to 2.7 million each year. mostly low-income women. including 327,000 abortions. no federal money is used for abortions, but planned parenthood does get major taxpayer help. $530 million a year. much of that through medicaid. for services like health screenings, birth control and breast exams. >> we don't just get a big check from the federal government. we like other medicaid pr

and i'll say, what i saw was cecile richards bring to life the care and concerns and the quality care that 2.7 million people receive from planned parenthood each year, and i thought that even through five hours of frankly being interrupted and badgered by much of the majority that what they shows was they didn't understand women, women's health, or the government programs they oversee. >> i want to play a moment from the hearing where she was confronted with numbers about breast exams versus abortions. let's listen. >> we provide breast exams to, i can get you the numbers of how much hundreds of thousands of women receive breast exams at planned parenthood last year, has nothing to do with, again -- >> here the problem pch. >> you created this line, i have no idea whoa it is. >> it's the reduction over the course of years in pink, that's the reduction in the breast exams and the red is the increase in the abortion. that's what's going on in your organization. >> this is a slide that has never been shown to me before. i'm happy to look at it and it absolutely does not reflect what's h
