Anti-abortion rights activists rally in Sacramento
Karen Nelson, the CEO of Central and Western Planned Parenthood, said Tuesday’s protest was a way to shame and intimate patients.
The group has close ties to anti-abortion organization Operation Rescue and set up a fake biomedical research company called Biomax Procurement services to create the sting videos against Planned Parenthood, which were later shared online.
The latest undercover video of Planned Parenthood’s business selling unborn baby body parts has been released, and it’s the most shocking yet. “I think this might actually be a unifying thing, hopefully in the Republican Party to agree that this is heinous and needs to stop”, she says. “No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated”.
As you can see, the poll doesn’t say anything about the fact that Planned Parenthood harvests and sells the organs of aborted babies or even that Planned Parenthood performs any abortions at all. Planned Parenthood supporters also gathered outside, wearing pink shirts and displaying a large banner that said, “Healthcare happens here”.
Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, said Sunday the group has done nothing illegal and is the target of a political smear campaign. Rebecca Kiessling says women should not have to make that kind of decision. “Congress should vote, and vote soon, to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood“.
In anticipation of the hearing, a rally was held Tuesday morning by an anti-abortion group.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said a group of senators led by Sen.
Meanwhile, California Attorney General Kamala Harris – whose state the undercover video was filmed in – said she’d be reviewing whether The Center for Medical Progress violated state law.
Amid the sea of Republican officials at the Statehouse rally, Democratic Rep. Bill Patmon from Cleveland told the crowd he is sponsoring legislation to cut off all public funding to Planned Parenthood in Ohio.
Planned Parenthood’s national leaders have stated that their clinics do not profit from fetal tissue donation, and that they only charge a nominal fee for procuring it.
“To take a life to save a life, I just can’t, as a Christian, as a mother, as a human, I just can’t accept that argument”, Jordan said.
