Hillary Clinton said the undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing selling aborted fetal tissue are "disturbing."
"I have seen pictures from them and obviously find them disturbing," the Democratic presidential candidate told the New Hampshire Union Leader on Tuesday in a sit-down interview.
When Clinton first weighed in on the videos — more than a week after the first one was released — she defended Planned Parenthood and said they were under attack for supporting a "woman's right to choose." And while she defended the group again this week, she also said the videos raise questions about the process of donating aborted fetal tissue.
"Planned Parenthood is answering questions and will continue to answer questions," she said. "I think there are two points to make. One, Planned Parenthood for more than a century has done a lot of really good work for women ... and this raises not questions about Planned Parenthood so much as it raises questions about the whole process, that is, not just involving Planned Parenthood, but many institutions in our country."
Two GOP-led congressional panels are investigating Planned Parenthood for its involvement in selling aborted fetal body parts to human tissue companies that then sell them to researchers. It's not illegal to be compensated for the overhead costs of providing fetal tissue, but it is illegal to profit financially from the sale.
Clinton said the congressional investigations should broaden their focus beyond Planned Parenthood. "If there's going to be any kind of congressional inquiry, it should look at everything and not just one [organization]," she told the Union Leader.
