Republicans go after Planned Parenthood contractor

House Republicans are seeking to hold a firm that procured aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood, and its president, in contempt of Congress.

A special panel set up to investigate how medical researchers obtain fetal tissue from abortion providers announced Monday it will meet on Wednesday to consider whether Congress should hold in contempt StemExpress and its executive Cate Dyer.

A report by Republicans on the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives says StemExpress and Dyer failed to comply with subpoenas requesting documents related to its business practices in fetal tissue procurement.

"Ms. Dyer refused to comply with the subpoena and failed to turn over a single document in response to the subpoena," the report says.

StemExpress was featured prominantly in undercover footage released last year by abortion opponent David Daleiden for contracting with several Planned Parenthood clinics to obtain tissue, which it in turn sells to researchers and universities.
