Carly Fiorina tailgate interrupted by Planned Parenthood supporters

The Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina met with protests as she attended a University of Iowa football game tailgate rally on Saturday.

Those who chanted and held up placards were supporters of Planned Parenthood, the organization at the center of a controversy over videos, which purport to show offering fetal body parts for sale.

The protest, in Iowa City, was the culmination of a week-long back and forth between the women’s health organization and the only woman seeking the Republican nomination for president, over remarks made by Fiorina about the content of the videos.

“I-O-W-A, women’s rights are here to stay!” shouted one woman – who was dressed as a packet of birth control pills – outside Kinnick Stadium. “Women are watching and we vote!”

Expose this lying P.O.S. for what she is.

Here's a statement from a campaign manager...it's beyond outrageous:

In an email to the Guardian, deputy campaign manager Sarah Isgur Flores said the Fiorina camp welcomed the demonstration.

“We’re happy they are bringing more attention to the videos,” the statement said, “which show planned parenthood butchering babies and selling their organs.”[/

What a disgusting distortion.

Systematic murdering of children in the womb - sounds like an early death metal band I saw in the 90s.

And I hope they keep it up wherever she goes.

She did lie about PP and should be held accountable for it!

judges everything on the basis of how much money she can hope to get out of it...some donors are certainly paying for her stand against PP...

Which goes straight to her campaign because, according to news reports, Carly is openly using PAC money openly & directly (and illegally) for her campaign.
