In remarks to the Huffington Post, Congressman Xavier Becerra, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, condemned the House Energy & Commerce Committee’s Select Panel on Planned Parenthood as a “farce.”

On Friday, outgoing Speaker John Boehner announced that the panel would be chaired by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, and its remaining Republican members would be Joe Pitts, Diane Black, Larry Bucshon, Sean Duffy, Andy Harris, Vicky Hartzler, and Mia Love.
The panel will take over for the committee in investigating Planned Parenthood’s harvesting and sale of aborted babies organs, and whether the abortion giant has broken federal laws in the process.
Becerra’s voting record is 100% pro-abortion, according to Planned Parenthood and NARAL.
