In yet another indication of how far the pro-abortion movement has come from “safe, legal and rare,” it’s not enough that prolifers are censored – they need to be driven from the political arena as well.
For a Dec. 8 piece, Cosmopolitan’s senior political writer Jill Filipovic interviewed Cecile Richards, president of taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood, on “where the pro-choice movement is headed next year.” Richards admitted her organization wants to “make it completely unacceptable” for “someone who opposes women’s rights” to run for office.
At Filipovic’s prompting, Richards gushed, “[I]t was pretty amazing to me that in all the competitive races across the country [in 2014], I didn’t see any candidate, Republican or Democrat, proudly running as an opponent of legal abortion or birth control or even Planned Parenthood.”
She continued:
We clearly want to move the needle away from the idea that these issues are partisan, because I don’t believe they are, and we want to make it completely unacceptable to run for office as someone who opposes women’s rights or wants to take us backward.
During the interview Richards discussed the women-vote, sharing her abortion story, and how, for 2015, “[i]ncreasing access to legal abortion services” will continue to be an “important priority.”

Also for 2015, Richards highlighted a new rationale for killing babies: the economy. “We can’t be having a conversation about economic security for women and families without talking about women’s access to reproductive health care,” she said.
“Women may not get up every morning thinking about what constitutional rights they have,” she argued, “but they certainly do get up thinking about their health and the health of their families, and that includes reproductive health care.” Yes, nothing says healthy families like infanticide.
Despite Cosmo stories like “2014 Sex Olympics” and the “Holiday Sextacular” of “Twelve Days of Sex Moves, abortion-giant Planned Parenthood bestowed the ‘Excellence in Media Award’ to the magazine earlier this year.
Like Planned Parenthood, Cosmo plans to wipe out pro-life candidates.
Uhmmmm...K.
Well, I propose candidates that are in favor of random and unlimited murder, as well, the destruction of puppies, kittens and pulling the wings off Lady Bugs...
According to Rush Limbaugh most RINO insiders would already love to make it unacceptable to run as a Pro-Lifer inside the Republican Party.
Makes sense! Who could possibly stomach being “pro life”?! “Pro death” is much, much better! Wow. That gave me a stomach ache just typing that.
Let me get this straight, virtually all PP funding comes from government. How can they be political??? Shut the funding down.
Just like the Democrats.
Reagan used to say to these RINOs given the chance to vote for a Democrat and a Democrat the voters will choose a Democrat every time.
Yeah, cause nothing says hip to this vile ilk like infanticide...
Yep. I sure want more candidates who agree with cutting a living, heart pumping being in the back of the neck and sucking it’s brains out (now that doesn’t hurt much, does it) because it’s mother finds it inconvenient to have it. Yet these same idiots will tear up and throw themselves in front of the SPCA building if an animal is euthanized. What total imbeciles.
“to “make it completely unacceptable” for “someone who opposes women’s rights” to run for office.”
See, this is why they will fail like they have.
They CANT tell you about this wondrous “right” that they are defending. We can.
And the more people know about it, the fewer support it.
So keep on being cryptic and using cute cover phrases. It only shows people that you aren’t proud enough of it to even be able to call it by name, and therefore why should they support it?
In 2012 the Republican party nominated a pro abortion candidate who opposed the Republican Party’s pro-life platform.
CBS interview August 2012.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
Simple. Planned Parenthood “must” be no further than 5 minutes from a hospital. In addition, 75% of planned parent funding “must” be spent towards cleanliness.
They will all be shut down within a year.
What does that have to do with post 10?
Nothing. Just tacked it on to the bottom of the thread. My bad.
This nation is dedicated to the self-evident truth that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, starting with the supreme right, the right to live. So, someone explain to me how any individual is fit for public office who, by their position on abortion, has rejected that proposition.
just make Planned Parenthood the equivalent of death panels.
Democrat = death panel
leftist =death panel
personalize it, isolated it, take them out.
Sounds like tyranny or dictatorship or despotism to me.
These balloon heads announce this on the date of the Catholic celebration of the feast of the Immaculate Conception.....brilliant!!
If you were to play a drinking game in which you took a shot at every euphamism in that article, you would die of acute alcohol poisoning about 3/4 of the way through.
Make non-murderers unacceptable.
Got it.
Bacteria have more conscience than these...people.
Is PP listed as a charitable organization?
