From left, Gianna Jessen, pro-life and disability rights activist, from Franklin, Tenn., James Bopp Jr., National Right to Life, Priscilla Smith, Dir. and Senior Fellow Program for the Study of Reproductive Justice, Information Society Project, Yale Law School, and Melissa Ohden, pro-life supporter from Gladstone, MO., are sworn-in before testifying before the House Judiciary Committee hearing at the Capitol in Washington examining the abortion practices of Planned Parenthood, Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2015. Today's hearing is Congress' first since the Center for Medical Progress, a small group of anti-abortion activists, began releasing videos in July showing Planned Parenthood officials casually describing how they sometimes obtain tissue from aborted fetuses for medical researchers. Backed by analysts it hired, Planned Parenthood has said the videos were dishonestly edited to distort its officials' remarks and has denied any wrongdoing. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
