Liberal, pro-abortion journalist Katie Couric on Tuesday interviewed the President of Planned Parenthood and worried about how “tough” pro-life supporters were making things for the organization. Couric snidely noted, “While Planned Parenthood says that abortions account for just three percent of its clinical work, opponents won’t be happy until that number is zero.”
(Couric did not point out that the organization makes hundreds of millions from abortions.) Talking to President Cecile Richards, the journalist, who now interviews people for Yahoo, fretted, “The videos inflamed already passionate critics, making it harder than ever for the organization to do its job. How tough is it to find clinicians who are willing to work at Planned Parenthood clinics and what kinds of challenges do they face?”
Speaking of scandal related to undercover videos, Couric gently questioned:
KATIE COURIC: Planned Parenthood has always had its opponents, but the videos created outrage in the anti-abortion community and galvanized conservative members of Congress. The result? The real possibility of cutting taxpayer dollars that go to Planned Parenthood. Eliminating 41 percent of its 1.3 billion annual budget. What would defunding Planned Parenthood have done to this organization?
The journalist should be commended for at least asking a few tough questions. She referred to Planned Parenthood as “controversial” and pressed about the hidden footage: “Did they, even if they were edited in your view, expose a side of Planned Parenthood that needed exposing?”

But, overall, the interview tilted towards sympathy for Richards. That shouldn’t be surprising as Couric in 2008 won an award from the pro-abortion National Organization for Women. Life News recounted how Couric’s pro-abortion lobbying accidentally was exposed on television:
The CBS News anchor had been able to keep her abortion advocacy a secret until actress Whoopi Goldberg accidentally exposed her in a September 1997 interview.
Goldberg embarrassed Couric by mentioning the then-NBC host’s participation in a pro-abortion march.
During the interview, Couric asked about Goldberg’s book and why she would write on the topic of “choice” – meaning abortion.
“Well because, you know, when you get out there and you march, because we’ve marched together,” Goldberg said.
Couric, feigning ignorance, and retorted, “Nooo. I’m not allowed to do that.”
Goldberg, playing along, with tongue firmly implanted in cheek as she stared upward, “Oh, no that’s right. We have not marched together. It was somebody that looked like you.”
I think that is sort of the point...
And the police make life so much more difficult for murderers.
I have no sympathy for anyone who decides to work in an abortuary. They deserve all the stigma they experience.
People who want to work in the medical profession have many, many options that do not involve the murder of innocent babies.
..... Well Katie ..... You should understand that it shouldn't be "Harder than Ever" to work at Planned Parenthood .... It should be damned near "Impossible" to work at Planned Parenthood ... if not ... Illegal!
What network is Katie on now?
Oh shaddup you idiot
Man, it’s almost like that’s their intent or something.../s
Well Katie, black lives matter unless they are black babies .... seems like you are a racist Katie!!!
Planned Parenthood makes it harder than ever for babies to live.
As I’ve always suspected... She IS a liberal!
O Lord, the perky one is back.
Katie who?
3% ?
Three percent ??
Abortion is the bread and butter of Planned Parenthood. That is where they make all of their money.
They get money from the women paying for abortions.
They get money from state funding reimbursements.
They get money from federal funding reimbursements.
They get money from the American taxpayer.
They get money from their baby body chop shop partners.
You are damn right we will not be happy until it is completely zero.
Oh, just steal somebody’s pancreas, skank. You’ll feel all better.
That’s the idea, moron.
Ms. Couric.... let’s see if there are any changes in the colon?
Oh gosh Katie, those darned pro-lifers. Don’t they know it’s just better to kill babies in the womb?
Gee, what percentage of Mayo Clinic procedures are open heart surgery? The strange part of this is that some liberal figured out how to manipulate those pesky number thingies.
