Cecile Richards Claims She Faced ‘Sexist’ Questions at Planned Parenthood Hearing
Coach is Right ^ | 10/17/15 | John C. Velisek USN (Ret.)

Posted on 10/17/2015 9:24:12 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

“If you flipped through the news channels Wednesday looking for a recap of the House Oversight Committee hearing on Planned Parenthood, you’d think that GOP congressmen had launched a sexist ambush on CEO Cecile Richards. At least that’s what she told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow:

‘I do think some of the comments were pretty sexist,’ Cecile Richards said in an interview on MSNBC’s ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ late Tuesday. ‘But actually I think it was because they didn’t have anything else to talk about.’

Actually, Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and company had plenty to talk about. Richards’ salary was a minor topic in the larger conversation. The committee focused much more on significant questions like: Why have breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood decreased as the number of abortions has risen? Why, if only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services are related to abortion, as they claim, do they get so much revenue from the procedure? Why is this an organization that needs federal funding?

Those taxpayer dollars, the panel reasoned, could be allocated to the thousands of women’s health centers that provide health care sans abortions.

Raven-Symoné demanded that Rep. Chaffetz should post his salary for all to see because ‘who knows where that money came from.’

Newsflash: Chaffetz and his colleagues are not the president of an organization that is responsible for the slaughter of 300,000 unborn babies a year.

This statistic, along with the disturbing Center for Medical Progress video investigation...

Of course she was asked ‘sexist questions.’ the definition of “sexist question” is any question of any topic asked by a male, especially a Republican or conservative, of a liberal female.

And it includes statements that are sexist such as “good morning.”

Oh, poor baby. Did dose mean ol panel members mean to you, asking about how you butchered babies and sold them for a profit? Did they hurt your feelings and not treat you with the human decency you deserve, Mzzzz Mengele? And are you going to play the victim, because you’re a female?

What about all those females you aborted? What about their right to human decency?

I’ve had liberals say abortion is a women’s issue, so men are not qualified even to discuss it.

I suppose if those women are caught butchering babies and selling them for profit, they’re going to whine that any questions about said practice are therefore sexist. I know some women who would’ve ripped her a new one, so gender has nothing to do with it.

All I can say is Eff you, murdering hypocrite.

“Sexist” questions:

1) You are a woman are you not?

2) Women, not men, have babies, right?

3) Is there a difference between a woman’s body and her baby’s body?

4) Does a woman’s right to her body mean she has the right to destroy her baby’s body?

Men were once babies, too, and so can fully identify with the babies being murdered in their mother's wombs. On that basis, I'd say that men are perfectly qualified to discuss abortion.

Besides, where did this stupid notion come from that if you do not belong to a certain class, you are not qualified to discuss it? Should women not discuss prostate cancer, since it is a "men's issue" that they are not qualified to understand?

“Sexist”, like “racist”, is another word that has been rendered meaningless by the Left.

This is all well and good, but the real question is not why Planned Parenthood get any money from the Federal government, they shouldn’t, but why is there money specifically allocated for ‘women’s health’? If women are so hellbent on being equal to men, why do they need special services and dollars to specific issues with their sex and sexuality?

Never seen a men’s health clinic. At least not one underwritten by tax payer dollars.

Had she been Black, they would have been racist questions. The same questions.

I love it when these “equal” people turn into timid little girls.

It’s entirely sexist to single out women based upon their sex and devote taxpayer dollars to them on the basis of their gender and not do exactly the same for men.

No one gives a crap about prostate cancer. It only happens to men.

I agree whole completely. We should end all single sex spending issues, particularly most are geared toward the female sex and that is sexist. Women are big enough and strong enough to take care of themselves.

Was it “sexist” to refer to Ilse Koch as the “Bitch of Buchenwald”?

Rep chaffetz’ salary is a matter of public record, and he is required by law to file financial disclosures.

Note to Ms. Symone...
Google is your friend. Do some homework. Don’t just spout random nonsense.
