Iowa's Steve King
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that Iowa 5th District Congressman Steve King (R) was gathering signatures from his colleagues in the US Congress for a letter he was sending to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The letter was to try & find out from her whether federal tax dollars are helping to fund Planned Parenthood of the Heartland's telemed abortion scheme through the $11.6 million allocated to the Department of Health & Human Services for Fiscal Year 2010 for its telehealth program.
On 3 February 2011 he sent the letter to Sibelius with the signatures of 71 congressmen on it. Now the ball is in her court. It will be interesting to see if she answers & how straight forward she is in how she is ensuring that federal monies don't go to fund telemed abortion schemes. & it is going to have to be a lot more than her saying that the funding isn't paying for the actual abortions. She is going to have to ensure that any federally payed for equipment isn't being used as well.
You can read the letter to HHS Secretary Sebelius here.

I really don't expect Sebelius to tell the truth about this. Hopefully, public outrage over the Live Action videos will convince Congress to defund PP.

Yeah, I'm not exactly expecting the truth from this pro-abort "Catholyc". Plenty of obfuscation on her part to hide the truth is what i expect.
