Despite her job as a Fox News political analyst, Kirsten Powers is a staunch Democrat who, among others, worked in the Clinton administration. Here, she hits Planned Parenthood hard:
During the recent debate over whether to cut off government funding to Planned Parenthood, the organization claimed that its contraceptive services prevent a half-million abortions a year. Without their services, the group’s officials insist, more women will get abortions.
I’ll admit I bought the argument—it makes intuitive sense—and initially opposed cutting off funding for precisely that reason.
Then I did a little research.
Here’s what she concluded:
Planned Parenthood officials are allowed to believe whatever they want and to pursue whatever goals they choose. But their dishonesty in how they present their organization to the public, along with ignoring basic statistics about their area of expertise, makes you wonder what else they are hiding. It’s also hard to deny that they are at core a blindly ideological organization, not a run-of-the-mill charitable nonprofit.
Whatever you think of abortion rights, this is not the kind of organization that taxpayers should be funding.
It’s hard to fathom how anyone could believe that PP is a “run-of-the-mill charitable nonprofit”. They’re probably the same folks who think Barry is doing a bang-up job as president.
