Dems Walk Out of House Hearing Intended to Hold Fetal Tissue Procurement Company in Contempt of Congress
(CNSNews.com) – Angry Democrats on Wednesday walked out of a House hearing involving StemExpress, the Placerville, Calif., company that acted as a middleman between Planned Parenthood abortion clinics and research institutions looking for aborted baby parts.
The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives advanced a resolution to hold StemExpress in contempt of Congress [1] for its failure to comply with a Congressional subpoena seeking some of the company’s accounting statements. Democrat panel members refused to participate in the vote, instead walking out of the room.
Democrats argued throughout the hearing that the panel did not have the legal authority under House rules to hold StemExpress in contempt of Congress.
