The new legislation would block what one member described as IRS "bullying." 16 May 2013 IRS Rejected Group on Behalf of Planned Parenthood The IRS scandal of targeting tea party or conservative organizations grew deeper Wednesday with the revelation that the agency denied tax-exempt status to a pro-life organization because of its hypothetical opposition to Planned Parenthood.
