The Democrats' star witness at the hearing was Fay Clayton, a Chicago lawyer with a lengthy history working for pro-abortion groups. Her testimony was not effective, to put it mildly. She claimed the evidence showing a market in fetal tissue was altered. Then she said it referred to adult tissue; she was publicly corrected by Rep. Sean Duffy, who pointed out the materials in question specifically mentioned fetal DNA.
Duffy also called attention to the fact that Clayton and her husband have given Rep. Jan Schakowsky, the ranking Democratic member on the panel, over $10,000 in campaign contributions. Not only that, as journalist Mollie Hemingway (full disclosure: my wife) has reported, Clayton is at the center of a host of revealing conflicts of interest.
In 2005, Clayton held a fundraiser at her home for Schakowsky's husband, Chicago community organizer Robert Creamer, who was heading off to a stint in federal penitentiary for tax fraud and a multimillion-dollar check kiting scheme. These days, Creamer is out of prison and a partner at the political messaging firm Democracy Partners. Among Democracy Partners's clients are Planned Parenthood, EMILY's List, the Guttmacher Institute, NARAL, National Organization for Women, and Voters for Choice. One of Creamer's colleagues at Democracy Partners happens to be Christine Pelosi, daughter of Democratic House minority leader Nancy Pelosi.

I know :( The abortion brokers and organ harvesting industry doesn't miss one red blood cell if it's worth money.
