Don't be fooled by the rhetoric from the right about Planned Parenthood and all the absolute bullshit videos and "proof" of so many horrific lies. This has nothing, whatsoever, to do with abortion.
As I'm sure you all know, the video of the meeting in which the rightwing nut jobs claim proof of Planned Parenthood selling aborted fetuses, is an outright lie. http://mediamatters.org/video/2015/09/30/cnns-alisyn-camerota-and-maria-cardona-shut-dow/205868. We know the tape was altered, significantly. We know that the original video, in full, proves Planned Parenthood broke no laws. And we know that the scientific study has, and will continue, to save hundreds of thousands of lives. http://www.vox.com/2015/9/16/9342165/carly-fiorina-planned-parenthood
Worse yet, the horrific claim by Fiorina that she watched the murder, by a Planned Parenthood doctor, of a full term baby, is just an outright lie. There is nothing in that statement that is true. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/08/20/3693340/planned-parenthood-video-photos/
All of this is just smoke and mirrors. This is just part of the plan to control the populace. The plan, hatched back in the late 70s, formulated and started in the 80s, was conceived by conservatives to take over politically, financially and in every way possible.
The dumbing down of America, which includes "no child left behind" and college tuition so high only the rich can afford it or they keep a student in debt for the rest of their lives; the imprisonment of minorities, poor and women, the state sanctioned murder of young black men and women as well as transgender and mentally disabled people, jailing women who control their bodies; wage gaps that are out of sight and unprecedented, etc.
This has nothing to do with abortion. This is just another way to control.
