Clinton Fires Back at GOP After Debate
Planned Parenthood is asking a federal judge to reinstate its Medicaid contract with Arkansas, arguing the state’s decision to block funding over videos secretly filmed by an anti-abortion group was based on “political disfavor”, not the law.

Looking for a birth-control refill? But suddenly, when it’s helpful to bash a relentless Planned Parenthood critic, that “fetus” automatically becomes a “baby”? She asked, “How similar is it?”
Chris Christie also had some fun things to say on the topic. So I think it’s important to sort out. Nonetheless, the videos show organization executives haggling with the presumed parts-procurers, one going so far as to joke she wanted “a Lamborghini”.
