The King's Coin is the principle at play here.
If you want a Federally funded abortion it needs to be accounted for. What's at issue is that Planned Parenthood gets $360 million annualy in direct Federal funding and they rake in another $1.2 billion annually in indirect Federal grants and subsidies and for forty years they've never had to account for how they spend the money.
Now they do.
I will say that the Congress is not asking them to do anything that they are not already required to do by the State of California.
The Healthcare Information Division of the Department of Health and Human Services requires this data in order to ascertain quality of care and mortality rates in hospitals and clinics and Planned Parenthood is not exempt just because they're the darlings of the PC crowd.
Except federal funds for abortions are prohibited under the Hyde Amendment. The money PP gets from the gov't is for family planning services which prevent abortions.
But try telling that to the GOP. Because apparently, Planned Parenthood is the most insidious organisation in the USA behind ACORN and NPR.
