++The Right, not content to close down abortion clinics around the country,got all riled up about their latest sting videos against Planned Parenthood. It didn't take long before Joni Ernst introduced legislation in the Senate to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
++I've actually spent the week receiving e-mails on how horrible Planned Parenthood is. Gee, I never knew my sister and mother were so evil. The irony is the senders voted for Mitt Romney, who made money from medical waste from abortion clinics through Bain Capital.
++I don't know whether this is a twofer--kill stem cell research and ban abortion. A lot of the emails were about Roe Vs. Wade and how horrible this decision was. They approvingly dredged up a Ruth Ginsberg quote about how she thought the original Roe v. Wade was about population control.
++Then we have the right-wing rift on Planned Parenthood is eugenics against Black folk--which given their current ideology should be a positive thing.
++Of course, I didn't tamper the outrage down when I said I ordered my baby parts for my annual #Benghazi! barbecue. This year because baby parts are so sweet I am choosing a Carolina type barbecue sauce.
++Since abortions are icky, then we also should outlaw heart operations because they are really icky on video.
++So we end the week with Rand Paul vowing to defund Planned Parenthood because that's what libertarians do. Ted Cruz says he will attach such a bill to the debt ceiling and close down the government.
++Meanwhile Governor Pence ordered an investigation into Planned Parenthood . The results--PP passed with flying colors. California has put a ban on the video in that state that names names of people involved in PP. Ah, are we seeing another Dr. Tiller murder plot emerge.
++I can not think of anything as subversive as gynecological exams. PP should become more aggressive with their PR since their services deal with sexually transmitted diseases and preventive health issues. The comments on some blogs by people's experience with PP is actually heartwarming, speaking of the kindness of the personnel. But if you used satisfied customers as promo you expose them to threats.
++Of course,such attacks are meant to generate money. The hack into the PP data base was to generate fund-raising letters for the Right.
++If you lose the fight against gay rights, why not continue your war on women?
