Hillary Clinton, Just Like A Woman: Last Week I Thought The Planned Parenthood Videos Were Disturbing, This Week I Think They’re Terrific!
[guest post by Dana]
Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a video today in which Hillary gives a full-throated defense of Planned Parenthood. This after claiming last week that she was “disturbed” by what was on the videos. Just like a woman, right? First she’s disturbed, then she’s not, first she’s hot, then she’s cold… It’s anybody’s guess how she’ll react when the next one is released.
Oh, and let’s not forget that last week when she said she was “disturbed” by the videos, she hadn’t actually watched them, but instead looked at pictures from them. Imagine how “disturbing” she would find the videos if she if she ever had the courage to actually watch them in all their disturbing glory.
“I’m proud to stand with Planned Parenthood, I’ll never stop fighting to protect the ability and right of every woman in this country to make her own health decisions.”
“If this feels like a full-on assault on women’s health, that’s because it is,” Clinton said in the video. “When politicians talk about defunding Planned Parenthood, they’re talking about blocking millions of women, men and young people from live-saving preventive care.”
“Unfortunately, these attacks aren’t new, they’re more of the same, we’ve seen them in Wisconsin where Gov. Walker defunded Planned Parenthood and left women across the state stranded with nowhere else to turn,” Clinton said. “We’ve seen them in Florida where Jeb Bush funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into abstinence-only programs while gutting funds for crucial family planning programs. And we’ve seen them in Texas where Gov. Perry drastically cut funding for breast and cervical cancer screenings and then signed legislation that forced health centers across the state to close their doors. .
“When they attack women’s health, they attack America’s health and it’s wrong and we’re not going to let them get away with it,” she said.
I’m curious as to why Hillary changed her tune. Perhaps she was strongly reminded by the DNC that abortion remains the end-all be-all identifier of a good Democrat and a good feminist, and that she needed to do damage control. No more lapses of judgement, no more straying from the company line, and certainly no more biting the hand that feeds her. And perhaps she was also reminded of the ever-increasing popularity of her rival and his ardent support and defense of Planned Parenthood, in spite of not watching the videos either:
“They’re not selling fetuses,” Sanders said. “And this is something, I think the tone of that discussion was unfortunate. But if the question is, do I support Planned Parenthood? I absolutely do. … I will defend Planned Parenthood. I think a lot of this attack, to be honest with you, comes from people who simply do not believe that a woman should have a right to control her own body. That’s the motive.”

Desensitization. It’s what PP counts on. That way reality can be avoided.

Dana (86e864) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:04 pmgood point
if gosnell didn’t move the dial what do they really think is gonna happen this time around
if i cared about Team R i would be worried that this would be really bad for their brand
but at this point what difference does it make
happyfeet (831175) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:06 pmthe PP people
i’m agog at how badly they’ve handled this though
they didn’t fire the nucatella lady or anyone else
they’re seriously with a straight face resorting to tired-ass war on women talking points which cheapens their cause treMENdously
then they send out that spooky dykey lady what looks like the love child of seka and janet reno
man she’s scary
then they can’t get their ducks in a row
they keep saying this is about women’s health or it’s about how the fanatic lifeydoodles want to take away women’s choices
but they’re only real action item is to call for a commission to review the overall state of fetal tissue research
so ok spooky hooch which is it
i’m confuzzled
happyfeet (831175) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:12 pm*their* only real action item i mean
happyfeet (831175) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:13 pmHillary tried to say nothing and get through the primary with the illusion of centralism. But now that she’s being threatened by the Left (Bernie) she has to tack hard to liberal positions.
You’re not going to believe this but it makes her look unprincipled.

Bingo !
That’s all that needs to be said. Not even gay rights is as important. After all, gays are only 3% of the population.

narciso (ee1f88) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:46 pmThe Clintons invented triangulation. In the 1992 primaries, Billy positioned himself to the left of Moonbeam. Do you remember the debate with Clinton talking about Brown’s $____ suit and his own $80.00 watch?
Chris Matthews’s socialism question to Debbie was not a gotcha question. It was planted. Think about it — who is Matthews’s audience? Regular Democrats being socialists is something the MSNBC audience likes better than a quart of chocolate ice cream.
And, of course, THE WAR ON WOMEN!
nk (dbc370) — 8/3/2015 @ 6:51 pmThat video was kind of odd. It showed a full grown baby in the end without any limbs torn off.
Weird.
Dejectedhead (ec3741) — 8/3/2015 @ 7:34 pmWhat I don’t get is, in our modern age where women truly do have the rights to their own bodies, why do they now need a government funded chop shop? Why am I supposed to pay for this? Oh- I forgot. Preezy 404 doesn’t want his daughters punished with a baby.
Bill H (2a858c) — 8/3/2015 @ 8:53 pmThey’re making more chop shops now too. They make them so you can chop your dick off now too on the public dime. (Yay Progress?)
Dejectedhead (ec3741) — 8/3/2015 @ 9:06 pmcomes from people who simply do not believe that a woman should have a right to control her own body. That’s the motive.”
The ass-backwards reactions of a typical liberal, reminiscent of such people often expressing more concern and compassion for the hardened criminal than the criminal’s victims. Or will often express more concern about upholding political correctness than in calling an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist. Such inverted “humaneness” is what makes a person of the left so easily reckless, ruthless and, yep, stupid.
Mark (f32097) — 8/3/2015 @ 9:33 pmCompletely OT:
I find it odd that seemingly none of the sites I look at news on have mentioned this:
http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-news/ci_28574553/police-mailbox-explodes-near-calvary-baptist-las-cruces
Summary: Small bombs went off at two churches in Las Cruces, NM – a Baptist church got one in a mailbox a little after 8 AM, before services, and later that day another one went off in front of a Catholic church, during mass. (That second one blew up 10 minutes before everyone would have left.)
Found out about this via … the comments on a comic strip.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 8/3/2015 @ 10:57 pmWhenever someone supports abortion as “a woman’s control over her own body”, I ask them if they are opposed to sex-selective abortions and if so, on what principle? A woman, according to their principles, can morally abort a child for any reason or none.
While that sinks in, I follow up with “what if a gay gene is discovered and a woman decided she wants to abort all her gay babies”? (I am extremely skeptical that gayness, for most people, is inherited, but not the point).
The results are disappointing. Progressives do not have principles, they have identities. Any woman would would abort girl babies or gay babies is a bad person, probably some sort of racist or conservative, and the bad things they do should not restrict in any way the abortion options of virtuous progressive women.
But if you find someone, not a progressive, who hasn’t thought about it much, there’s a chance. Try it.
