Apparently, not everybody is disgusted by the Planned Parenthood's illegal practice of ripping live babies from their mother's womb, cutting them into pieces, and selling their body parts. Presumptive Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton sent out a fundraising email on Monday, calling the Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood an attack on women's rights and women's health.
It is public knowledge that the effort to defund Planned Parenthood (PP) was a reaction to the Center For Medical Progress videos revealing PP's practice of selling baby parts and the bill introduced in Congress took the half a billion dollars of tax-payer money usually given to PP and used it to fund other women's health centers.
As reported by The Blaze:
In an email to supporters Monday under Clinton’s name said the campaign is launching “Women for Hillary.”
“I have to admit, I take it a little personally when Republicans go after women’s rights, and women’s health especially,” the email said. “Their extreme views are out-of-touch and out-of-date. We need to make sure not one of them becomes president. The way we do that is by engaging as many women in this campaign as possible.”
If, by "women's right's," Ms. Clinton is talking about abortion, that doesn't really make sense because Planned Parenthood and the pro-Abortion argument contend that no taxpayer money is used for abortion. And - since the bill gave the same amount of money to other local women's health clinics - the only remaining reason she could say the defunding efforts were "out-of-touch and out-of-date" is that she supports the illegal practice of selling baby parts, as that is the only "service" that will lose federal support.
Previously, the former secretary of state announced her objection to the defunding effort:
However, later she came out with a video announcing her opposition to legislation that would completely defund the abortion company. In the video [embedded below], she said she’s “proud to stand with Planned Parenthood” and criticized lawmakers who are working to take away their government funding.
“Republicans like Scott Walker and Jeb Bush are calling to defund PP, the country’s leading provider of reproductive health care. And they are joined by Republicans in Congress who will not waste a minute on voting to make that happen. If this feels like a full-on assault on women’s health— that’s because it is. When politicians talk about defunding Planned Parenthood they are talking about blocking millions of women, men and young people from life saving preventive care. Cancer screenings, breast exams, birth-control,” she said.
But, again, Ms. Clinton is obfuscating because, unless she didn't follow the news or investigate the bill (doubtful for someone running for president), none of those services would be lost.
Whether one supports Ms. Clinton or not, it would be unreasonable for anyone to say she is not a very intelligent woman. Therefore, it seems impossible that she wouldn't understand the bill to defund Planned Parenthood used the same amount of money for women's health - just elsewhere. The only reasonable option remaining appears to be that she supports PP's illegal practice of selling baby parts and that is why she wants the money to continue going to them.
