Given the unprecedented Continuing Resolution amendment vote to defund Planned Parenthood last Friday, along with the president commenting this weekend on it and Lila Rose’s investigatory work in Virginia, I asked House Speaker John Boehner’s office about the speaker’s outlook on the situation. A spokesman tells me: “The speaker supports the Pence amendment and is pleased that the open process in the House led to Friday’s vote. He welcomes the enthusiasm for debate and oversight that has followed from the recent alarming Live Action videos. Planned Parenthood and its affiliates have demonstrated they are not defenders of women’s rights and health.”
