Planned Parenthood To Grill Democratic Candidates About Records On Abortion

16 Candidates Have Signed On So Far

Planned Parenthood will host a forum in late June with major Democratic presidential candidates where the candidates will face one-on-one questioning about their stances on abortion.

The candidates will be individually questioned for 15 minutes apiece about their support and records on abortion and access to contraception, The New York Times reports.

16 of the 23 Democratic candidates will attend the forum on June 22 in South Carolina, and more are expected to join. Major names already attending include Sens. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D.).

Both Harris and Warren have 100% pro-choice voting records, LifeNews reported.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has been dealing with criticism over his decision to reverse his support for the Hyde Amendment, will also attend. Biden supported the amendment, which restricts the use of federal funds for abortion, for decades, going as far as to say that he was the "odd man out" of the Democratic Party due to his limited support for abortion in 2006.

At the time, Biden credited the remark to his opposition to public funding of abortion and partial-birth abortion.

After several contradictory statements, a Biden aide clarified that the Delaware senator now no longer supports the Hyde Amendment, saying that the decision was not "about politics."

Other presidential candidates voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act earlier this year. The act would have required doctors to care for infants who survived late-term abortions. It failed by a vote of 53-44, falling short of a 60-vote threshold.

Warren, Sanders, Harris, along with Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.), Cory Booker (D., N.J.), and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) all voted against the act.

Their votes were out of step with the vast majority of the American people. A Susan B. Anthony list poll found 77 percent of general election voters favored providing medical care for an abortion-surviving infant, and that 62 percent opposed late-term abortions.

Planned Parenthood is expected to spend heavily for the eventual Democratic nominee. In the 2018 midterm cycle, the organization spent over $50 million in support of Democratic House and Senate candidates.

Planned Parenthood is much more powerful than the few pro-life Democrats.

I'll never forget the world's largest protest sign at the 2008 DNC Convention, though. It would be be great if something like that happened again at a DNC function.

I thought the DNC wasn't allowing one-issue debates.

DNC Chair Tom Perez: We Can’t Have a Climate-Only Debate Because Then We Must Accommodate Everyone Else

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez on Tuesday had a simple explanation for rejecting Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for a climate-focused primary debate: If the DNC said yes to this one, they’d have to say yes to every other candidate’s issue-specific debate ideas.

“If we change our guidelines at the request of one candidate who has made climate change their campaign’s signature issue, how do we say no to the numerous other requests we’ve had?” Perez wrote in a Medium post on Tuesday. “How do we say no to other candidates in the race who may request debates focused on an issue they’ve made central to their own campaigns?”

The scene—
Planned Parenthood goon pacing back and forth questioning line of Dems:

So, I see some of you are not really with us. Those not with us can be assumed to be uninterested in winning. You get my drift? We reward friends and punish enemies.

How many of you want to see our video on “(Your name here) hates women and doesn’t want women to have the right to control their own bodies?”

Then spell your name in full so our ad agency can put it on the anti-women ads properly.

Too bad their moms didn't.

All lives are NOT precious.

Having now condoned killing a baby up thru the ninth month of pregnancy, the Left now embarks on killing after a baby is born. Within a year or so, some Dem candidate will undoubtably up the ante and propose killing up until the voting age. On the plus side, the Dems want to lower the voting age to 12.

What a shameful country that allows people like this to be elected to high office.

about their support and records on abortion and access to contraception...

Why bring contraception into this. Aren't you 'Rats confident enough for abortion to stand on its own? Come on, either you are fully on board with murder of the pre-born, or you are not if you muddle it with prevention.

I get sick every time I think of the woman doctor admonishing the medical crew to be less “crunchy” ripping the baby out so the parts can be intact to make more profit so she can buy her Lamborghini.

Horrifying.

Why does Planned Parenthood get to dictate, or at least heavily influence, policy with the Democrats?

Collusion with a private organization?

Harris should drop out of the forum because she is ineligible to be President. Neither of her parents were US citizens at the time she was hatched.
