Marsha Blackburn calls for Planned Parenthood's federal funding to be pulled

fuck these fucking fucks



Two undercover videos released in the last two week have sparked investigations of Planned Parenthood's handling of fetal tissue.

The videos shows two different Planned Parenthood employees negotiating with people posing as potential buyers.

Pro-life groups are calling for all federal funding to be pulled from Planned Parenthood. Now, Congressman Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, has joined that effort.

Planned Parenthood said the video was heavily edited and insists it only facilitates the donations of tissues and organs upon request of the patient, and never for profit

Tell the staff person who answers that you saw the boss on the teevee, and say that as one of Blackburn's constituents, you strongly disagree with what she said. Women's health is important to you and to the people of Tennessee, and Blackburn's overreaction to a doctored video is really beneath the dignity of a congresswoman.

Say "You're welcome" when the staff person thanks you for your call. Then call the local newspaper and tell them what you told Rep. Blackburn's office, so that when Rep. Blackburn tries to tell people that her constituents solidly support her hare-brained position, the local media can tell her that's not what they've heard.

It's worth a shot; make two phone calls.
