5:13Now PlayingCongress has decided to launch an investigation into Planned Parenthood, after an anti-abortion organization put out a heavily edited video alleging the woman’s health organization is selling fetal organs for a profit. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point), hosts of The Young Turks, discuss.
Should an investigation of Planned Parenthood be launched? Is Boehner grandstanding? Is this all just a witch hunt? Let us know in the comments below.

"House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) called for an investigation into Planned Parenthood on Wednesday after an anti-abortion group released an undercover video that claims to show that the family planning provider sells fetal body parts.
"When an organization monetizes an unborn child -- and with the cavalier attitude portrayed in this horrific video -- we must all act," Boehner said in a statement. "As a start, I have asked our relevant committees to look into this matter. I am also calling on President Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell to denounce, and stop, these gruesome practices."
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce followed suit shortly after, announcing an immediate investigation into Planned Parenthood. "This video is abhorrent and rips at the heart," committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said in a statement. "The committee will get to the bottom of this appalling situation."
The sting video, produced by the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress, shows Planned Parenthood physician Dr. Deborah Nucatola describing how she would attempt to preserve fetal tissue and parts during an abortion for patients who decide to donate them for medical research. In the video, Nucatola tells the undercover actor that clinics can be reimbursed $30 to $100 per specimen for the cost of transporting and donating the fetal tissue.
