WASHINGTON — The searing political conflict over abortion flared anew Wednesday as congressional Republicans said they will investigate whether Planned Parenthood is selling organs from aborted fetuses. House Speaker John Boehner called for committees to probe the question and said President Barack Obama should condemn and stop the practice.
The GOP offensive on the issue came a day after an anti-abortion group circulated a video it made secretly showing a Planned Parenthood official discussing the disposal of body parts from aborted fetuses.
