The House Judiciary Committee has just announced that it will hold its first hearing on the investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practice of selling fetal organs. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, at 10:30 a.m.

“The purpose of Wednesday’s hearing will be to hear from experts on the issues surrounding the alleged acts of Planned Parenthood,” according to a statement from the committee. “The hearing will examine details of late-term abortions, what is involved in altering an abortion in order to harvest fetal organs, and a history of the laws that protect, or fail to protect, the unborn from these barbaric practices.”

The hearing, titled “Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation’s Largest Abortion Provider,” will be webcast live at http://judiciary.house.gov.
