WaPo Editorial: Republicans should stop wasting time attacking Planned Parenthood
Washington Post ^ | August 25, 2015

Posted on 08/26/2015 3:56:44 AM PDT by Zakeet

THE ANTIABORTION movement seems to have gained new momentum. Thousands of protesters rallied outside Planned Parenthood clinics over the weekend. Republicans in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail are demanding a crackdown on the organization. Several Republican governors have moved to cut off funds, including Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a state with just two Planned Parenthood clinics that don’t even perform abortions.

Energizing the fight, which threatens to complicate this fall’s federal budget negotiations and could lead to a government shutdown, are notorious sting videos from the so-called Center for Medical Progress targeting Planned Parenthood officials.

[Snip]

The videos seek to show that Planned Parenthood has violated federal law by selling fetal tissue to scientific researchers. It has long been legal for patients to donate culled fetal tissue for medical research and for abortion clinics to recoup the costs they incur to facilitate the donations. The videos are strategically edited and employ familiar antiabortion shock tactics, such as the use of gruesome images of fetal tissue and inflammatory language; they may show distressing insensitivity on the part of some Planned Parenthood staff but there is certainly nothing close to illegality.

[Snip]

Defunding Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, would deny women access to all sorts of non-abortion services, such as contraception, cancer screening, sexually transmitted disease testing and so forth.

.... culled fetal tissue

Is NOT a heart that still beats.

My basic question about all this is just what the hell is in the PP water these people drink? Is there THAT much money in this? Why does every vestige of the whole Democrat machine stand so vehemently behind PP as if it were Hitler or something to be protected at all costs? Does collective liberalism really believe so much about a "woman's body, woman's choice" that it has decimates enough humans to populate a good sized country?

The whole intent, practice and product of PP is murder of unborn humans. To do this for ideology's sake is bad enough. To profit from that is nothing but evil.

Fear WaPo,

We’re touched that you’re so concerned about how we spend our time and what we set as priorities. We also deeply appreciate all of the concerned and sympathetic advice that we get from you on how to save the Republican Party and what we should be thinking and who we should be voting for. Really. Thanks loads. Nice to know we have such friends in the world.

FOAD,
Riley

No, not civil war. I’d settle for the phase before full out battle: “settling scores”

“Sting videos”

Find one video of someone using the n-word and there’s no “it was nuanced” defense.

Baby killing is just that. They only liked to use the term for GIs in Viet Nam. Won’t use it for abortionists. Won’t use it for Islamonazis in Africa or the Middle East.

WaPo’s editorial board.
What they say: “Defunding Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, would deny women access to ..(blah, blah, blah...)”
What they think: “Defunding Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, would result in more negroes being borne and we know they end up in prison, so let’s just kill them now. It’s not like they are humans.”

Ahh the narative.

Ignore the specifics - MSM is great at that.

Change the selling of child human remains to women’s health and feign offense.

This is getting so easy and they are so wrong.

It seems that Planned Parenthood are doing a quite adequate job of attacking themselves via their everyday activities and remarks.
