Republicans on Capitol Hill are betting the secretly filmed Planned Parenthood video depicting an executive allegedly discussing the sale of fetal organs from terminated pregnancies will give them cover to more aggressively push abortion issues without the political ramifications that have haunted the party in the past.

Lila Rose:
https://liveaction.org/lilarose/
As Live Actions president, Lila leads undercover investigations into Americas most notorious abortion facilities, shining a light on the greatest human rights abuse of our time through national media campaigns. Under Lilas direction, Live Action has documented rampant sexual abuse cover-up, racism, medical misinformation, the willingness to assist sex traffickers, false statements made by Planned Parenthood executives, sex-selective abortion, and infanticide.

(92,484 posts)anyone to have an abortion, yet this group takes it upon themselves to "presume" to speak for all women, and that is far from the case.
It would be interesting to know this groups views on welfare. Currently the most conservative who are against abortion, were the first to be against healthcare for all, food stamps and welfare, and yet they speak about the sanctity of life, as they try to push the U.S. into another middle east war. They want it both ways.
I am sure not an advocate for the Catholic church, but at least their positions on these subjects are consistent
Very scary stuff what you presented there
