It's insane and it's pissing me off.
This is why it's hard to be objective about the GOP on other issues and seriously consider voting for a Republican.
Planned Parenthood has been cleared of any illegal wrong-doing. No laws were broken. https://www.yahoo.com/health/state-probe...82837.html
And yet, Republicans and GOP presidential candidates continue to spring off of the false claims associated with the anti-abortionist sting videos to push their political agendas.
On the GOP debate stage, based on their own moral/religious beliefs and their party platform, candidates proudly proclaimed their desire to defund PP's women's health services because PP also happens to perform non-government funded abortions under the law (abortion accounts for 3% of their business, of which less than 2% is late term, FFS).
Some Republican governors have decided to springboard off the controversy and defund PP in their states, regardless of the fact that the organization broke no laws.
Off the debate stage, several GOP presidential candidates went further, including Trump, and confirmed their willingness to shutdown the government to shutdown PP.
The small tissue broker that was working with PP was getting so much backlash and so many inquiries -- which they didn't have the capacity to deal with and still conduct their business -- that they had to walk away from PP, one of their smallest partnerships.
The GOP is proud to deny millions of women high-quality female health and family planning services in order to protest legal abortions for a much smaller number of women. They consider it a victory to deny PP clients and PP itself the choice to legally contribute to stem cell research that will save millions of future lives. They don't care that the tissue will be tossed in a waste bin instead. It's so ignorant and misogynistic that it's difficult to believe, but there it is.
