another 'charming' creep on display, lying her ass off against ACA on msnbc:

[Gabi Hayes]

of course, the poor dem opponent didn't have the facts at hand to put her in her place, STARTING with the reconciliation surprise package of the risk corridor conspiracy, led by that little twerp Rubio.....

but this smarmy, smiling-through-each-lie, former prolife propagandist was SO smug, SO obnoxious that she'd make Hugh Hewitt look like Gary Cooper. I have a feeling you're going to be see her on more often, as her unctuous demeanor seems to be favored these days

anybody see her?

she apparently oozed from the Gary Bauer fever swamp

in reference to NYT article linked below:

It's an important piece because Yoest is one of the most productive leaders of the anti-choice movement, thanks to her reputation for being more reasonable than fanatical. She's intelligent (Yoest has a PH.D in politics from the University of Virginia), charming (as Bazelon points out, "She's the one making the case against abortion on the PBS ‘NewsHour.'&quot and effective; as stated above, the A.U.L has championed a record number of bills that've made it next to impossible for women across the country to retain control over their uteri, and the group was also behind the report called "The Case for Investigating Planned Parenthood" that inspired the congressional investigation that helped convince Komen to stop financing Planned Parenthood. I mean, for fuck's sake: Yoest once wrote an awesome-sounding dissertation called "Empowering Shakespeare's Sister," about the effects of paid parental leave on breaking the glass ceiling. Doesn't she seem like a lady you could have a sensible conversation with?

She does, but - judging from Bazelon's repeated attempts at engaging her in rational discourse - you really, really can't do it. Yoest says her ideas about abortion are driven by science but is insistent that abortion causes breast cancer, a claim that every legitimate medical organization has rejected roughly 32498274982938 times over. She looooves talking about how much she cares about "women's health" but refuses to actually say anything about the positive effects of contraception on women who are larger than embryo-size.
