Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R., Kent.) on Tuesday demanded Hillary Clinton return the money her campaign has raised from Planned Parenthood.
“Today I call on @HillaryClinton to return money she’s raised from Planned Parenthood!” Paul wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning, hours after the Center for Medical Progress unveiled a third videoallegedly exposing the federally funded organization’s sale of body parts from aborted fetuses.
Clinton has collectednearly $10,000 from nine individuals who work for Planned Parenthood since the start of her campaign, outpacing all of her Democratic competitors when it comes to raising money from the country’s largest abortion provider.
After the release of a second video showing a Planned Parenthood official negotiating the sale of fetal tissue last week, Clinton defendedthe organization and labeled the videos an “attack against women’s rights to choose.”
“I don’t have all the facts but Planned Parenthood has apologized for the insensitivity of the employee who was taped and they will continue to answer questions for Congress and others, but for more than a century Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women,” Clinton said at a campaign stop in South Carolina.
She also called it “unfortunate” that the taxpayer-funded organization has endured such “concerted attacks” for its abortion practices.
Republican presidential candidates like Paul have calledfor the federal government to defund Planned Parenthood. The organization has received$27.8 million in taxpayer money just this year. The Kentucky lawmaker saidTuesday that he will announce a Senate deal to vote on legislation to defund the organization in advance of the August recess.
While House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) has slammedthe organization and demanded hearings be held on the “gruesome” abortion practices, House Democrats like Nancy Pelosi(D., Calif.) are ordering the Justice Department to investigate the Center for Medical Progress for secretly taping the videos.
Dozens of emaciated-looking Boko Haram members begging for food have surrendered in northeast Nigeria, the military and a civilian self-defense fighter said Wednesday. Seventy-six people including children and women gave themselves up to soldiers last Saturday in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, according to a senior officer. All are being detained at military headquarters in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and currently the command center of the war against the Islamic extremists, according to the officer. He insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. The detainees said many more fighters want to surrender, a self-defense civilian fighter who helped escort them to Maiduguri told The Associated Press. Food shortages could indicate that Nigeria's military is succeeding in choking supply routes of the Islamic extremists who have taken their fight across Nigeria's borders. Some 20,000 people have died in th...
