Ignorant, and proud of it.

Via The Hill:

Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell on Tuesday defended federal funding for Planned Parenthood as a third undercover video was released on the organization’s use of fetal tissue.

“What I think is important is that our HHS funding is focused on issues of preventative care for women, things like mammograms,” Burwell told the House Education and Workforce Committee.

“We do not fund abortion,” she said, under the longstanding Hyde Amendment.

Burwell declined to directly answer a question on her personal views about fetal tissue research. She said she has not seen the Planned Parenthood videos that have stoked controversy, but has read about them.

“This is an important issue that people have passion deeply on both sides of the issue,” she said.
