Foes eye AG bias for Planned Parenthood

Attorney General Maura Healey is blasting the debate in Washington over defunding Planned Parenthood as “the most recent offensive in a decadeslong campaign to cut off women’s access to health care,” according to an email she fired off to supporters yesterday.

That missive quickly led abortion opponents to 
accuse the state’s top law enforcement officer of taking a political stance they say disqualifies her from probing whether the women’s health provider is scoring illegal profits from fetal parts. That charge has been leveled by anti-abortion 
activists in a series of disturbing undercover videos of staffers at Planned Parenthood and another abortion provider.

“I’ve had enough. The latest attacks in Washington on Planned Parenthood are nothing new,” Healey wrote in the email. “This debate in Congress? There’s simply no ‘there’ there. ... For the sake of those women and their families, let’s put this smoke-and-mirrors 
‘debate’ to rest. Standing up for women’s health care means standing with Planned Parenthood.”

Opponents were quick to seize on Healey’s message, which was sent out just days after she cleared the state’s chapter of Planned Parenthood in the scandal.

Good for her.

And the idea that the only acceptable "non partisan" position is to pretend that the attacks on Planned Parenthood are not political themselves is total bull crap.
