Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards faced congressmen in several hours of heated debate within House offices debating the federal funding of the organization. Richards voluntarily spoke in front of Congress after videos emerged that fanned the flames for defunding Planned Parenthood.

Republicans say that Planned Parenthood participates in the selling of baby body parts. Richards and supporters say the videos are doctored and that Planned Parenthood donates fetal tissue lawfully. Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 and serves millions annually with health services and education.
