Planned Parenthood Chief's Fowl Analogy of Ted Cruz

In stumping for Hillary Clinton's run for Democrat nomination for President, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards made a fowl analogy about Republican Presidential hopeful Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). 

Such attacks against Cruz coming from an abortuary activist like Cecile Richards is not unexpected, as the Senator Cruz  has an outspoken pro-life position.  It is dubious if she would attack Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who still lauds the work of Planned Parenthood, while espousing a variety of supposed pro-life positions but who finished by supporting the status quo. 

What is interesting is Cecile Richards' choice of a fast food analogy to justify her position.

The Center for Medical Progress' series of expose videos featuring various Planned Parenthood apparently selling baby body parts. 

While the KFC quip may have been coarsely cute and a chip off of her mom's (former Texas Gov. Ann Richards D-TX) block, depicting your clients as chickens to be processed does no favors for feminists nor prospective pro-choice clients.

Three years ago, the grizzly details of the Kermit Gosnell trial came to light in Philadelphia, where the abortion doctor ran an unsafe and unsanitary late term abortion clinic targeting poor and minority women.  Gosnell was convicted of three counts of first degree murder along with one count of unsanitary manslaughter and sentenced to life without parole plus thirty years.

Some might wonder why the Gosnell horror show was invoked regarding Cecile Richard's scoring political points against Cruz.  Well, Richard's metaphor reveals the low regard she has for the women she's supposedly serving, just as Gosnell did.  And that's not just chicken stuff. 

Santorum Corrects "The View" on Planned Parenthood

In the midst of the effort to defund Planned Parenthood, longshot Republican Presidential hopeful former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) dared to school "The View" about Planned Parenthood.



Santorum pointed to up to date information showing the Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards lied to Congress about her organization giving mammograms.  The tough questioning in Congress over defunding Planned Parenthood may have wiped the smarmy smile off of Ms. Richard's face.

 Santorum hopes to repeat his values oriented blue collar conservative grassroots success which allowed him to win the 2012 Iowa Caucuses.  Despite his second place finish in 2012, Santorum is barely registering 1% in the polls, did not connect well at the Value Voters Summit (which should be his crowd) and he seems permanently assigned to the undercard table for the GOP debates.

One wonders what good is Santorum's campaign in a crowded field of a baker's dozen of serious Republican candidates.  Is it just Potomac Fever?  Does he honestly believe that his campaign can catch lightning again?

Santorum's factual interaction with Whoopie Goldberg put lie to the persisting Planned Parenthood propaganda about women's health care services like mammograms.  Whether die hard progressives will accept that truth is another matter, but at least their flawed facts were charitably challenged.

Perhaps this is Santorum's moment in the sun in the 2016 cycle. What a fitting moment for an earnest traditional values candidate whose biography emulates living out pro life values. 

Trey Gowdy on Arrogance and Infanticide

Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood of America, was testifying before Chairman Jason Chaffetz's (R-UT 3rd) House Oversight and Governmental Reform Committee about the over $500 million which the private organization receives from the Federal Government.

While Ms. Richards lacks the sarcastic zingers of her mother Gov. Ann Richards (D-TX), she gave smarmy testimony to chary conservative Congressmen in the wake of the Center for Medical Progress expose videos about Planned Parenthood selling baby parts for profit.  

The exchange with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC 4th) shows the slow and methodical method of a prosecutor to build a foundation for a point and then box the witness into an uncomfortable corner.  Some have observed that Gowdy wiped the smile right off Ms. Richards face by the end of his five minutes of questioning.
