(12,799 posts)So we have it on record that women's reproductive rights are under assault by the same fraudulent forces and methods that worked to defund Acorn.
Folks are willingly duped and we all pay the price.

(5,504 posts)In fact I watched several news programs last night (not Fox) and I have to admit, the way it is
being portrayed by (most) of the media is VERY gruesome and disturbing.

It's being portrayed as harvesting babies to sell body parts.
It's not helping that the people from PP who should have known to watch what they say and who they say it to were talking about it in such a cavalier manner.

(39,343 posts)It will go the way of ACORN because of James O Keefe and his BS edited video.
A lot of women will lose reproductive healthcare because of it.

(15,334 posts)They'll tie it to the Highway Bill, and behind closed doors say; "look, you want the Highway Bill, and we need to have something to give to our fucking crazy T-bagging Limbaugh listening crowd...and voila, a "compromise" will be struck to defund Planned Parenthood.
Dems declare victory because we get a Highway Bill
Repukes declare victory because they take out one of their targets
They only people that suffer are those that can least afford more suffering.

(5,504 posts)Ok we will not de-fund you...but stop the selling thing? Wouldn't that please all concerned?

(6,324 posts)They have their opening now, they are not going to just settle for a half measure that allows PP to still exist.

(15,334 posts)The Repukes hypocrisy on this is simply breathtaking.
They have spent the past 2 years whining like cats with their tail caught under a rocking chair about a BS "scandal" of the IRS targeting T-bagging groups (BTW - Only group denied Tax Exempt Status was a "liberal" leaning group).
But here, you have Planned Parenthood being deceitfully and blatantly targeted in a "Blitzkrieg" that would make Hitler blush, and they are A-OK with that.
In a sane world, the group behind this attack on PP would be facing RICO charges.
I'm hoping that Democrats, and those that support PP stand firm and OUTRAGED by this despicable smear campaign, but I won't hold my breath.
Makes me wonder...Aren't there Universities and Medical Groups that do fetal tissue research? Why would they not be targeted?
It's because they disagree with PP politically, and they can feed the broken bodies of America's poor women and children to their crazy-ass T-bagging base.
BTW - It would be helpful if you would stop using Right-wing Nut Job "talking points" like "Stop the selling". PP is not engaged in "selling" anything. What happens is, if it costs PP $100 to preserve and ship a specimen, PP gets reimbursed for that cost.
Think of it this way. If it costs you $100 to ship something, and the person receiving the shipment reimburses you that $100...did you sell anything[/]?
