Republican’s mind blown when witness tells him some Planned Parenthood patients are mothers

[kpete]

“I’d like to know what your priority is,” he repeated, “Planned Parenthood or feeding hungry children?”

Smith pointed out that some of Planned Parenthood’s services, such as affordable contraception, testing for sexually transmitted infections and cancer screenings, might help the mothers of those poor children.

For Sensenbrenner, that did not compute.

“How can they be the mothers of the children when children are aborted through Planned Parenthood?” Sensenbrenner said.

Smith reminded the congressman that about 60 percent of women who seek an abortion have at least one child, and she told him that access to contraception reduces the number of unwanted pregnancies — and thus, abortions.

“Well, I don’t think that there’s statistics that indicate that’s the case,” Sensenbrenner said
