New Planned Parenthood President Says It's ‘About Saving People's Lives'

2018-11-13

[Red State] Great news, everyone: If you’ve at any point been concerned about the business of Planned Parenthood, as it turns out, it’s all cool.

According to the company’s new president, Dr. Leana Wen, the unpolitical practice of the organization is saving lives.

That’s right.

During an interview with CBS This Morning Monday, Wen made things clear.

The show opened by pointing out that PP workers "serve more than 8,000 people" a day.

"Serve."

Planned Parenthood is one of the most maligned and controversial organizations out there. For the program to describe it as "serving" people reveals a heavy bias in favor of it. Imagine if, instead, the show had begun with a counter-characterization from across the ideological aisle: "Planned Parenthood has aborted almost 7 million babies since 1978. Leana, welcome to the show." Wording is everything.

Anyway, Wen schooled us all:

#10 My cute little red origami
Who stomped on the rights of her mommy,
I almost could wish you
Were more than just tissue,
And I not a merciless commie!

But don't you worry, I'll have another one someday and make sure it grows up to be a big, strong, gruesome, thoroughly creepy sonnet!

#8 The arche? The sage of Miletus is
Mistaken. Misogynist treatises
The Patriarch cites
Claim that water, not rights,
Is the matter that nurtures our fetuses!

Bah... at least I didn't use "Cletuses".

#6 'About Saving People's Lives'

Human womb inhabitants are evidently not actually people.

#5 “I respect each person’s beliefs for themselves. My problem is if they want to impose their own beliefs on other people.”

A non-political, libertarian, progressive. Those are pretty rare!

#3 Meanwhile keep suppressing the data on women who die due to complications related to a legal abortion.

#2 So Dr. Wen, you have to kill babies to save lives? That's a hard circle to square.

#1 ...They inspire endless macabre humor with their lack of self-awareness: To Serve Man?
Do they stock Soylent Green snack bars in the employee Lounge?
