A hearing over a federal ban on funding for abortions featured a line of questioning for a pro-choice advocate on what can and cannot be done to puppies.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, asked pro-choice advocate Kierra Johnson whether states outlaw the killing of puppies. King made the comments during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee’s constitution subcommittee about the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funds from going toward abortion services.
