After footage of the Planned Parenthood president being grilled by hostile Republican congressmen went viral, Richards sat with Emma Brockes to talk about her mother, Carly Fiorina and the future of women’s healthcare in America.

It can be said with some confidence that televised hearings of the House oversight and government reform committee, an investigative body dedicated to upholding congressional standards, do not generally break audience records.

Last Tuesday, when Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, appeared at a hearing to account for her organisation’s federal funding, it might have only attracted political diehards. But during the course of a day-long appearance, Richards was interrogated with such undisguised contempt, such outright hostility and disregard for the facts, that video of the hearing jumped out of the political and into the popular realm.

The footage was so bananas, says Richards, that “it has really ignited people who don’t think about this day in and day out”....

Roe v Wade didn’t pass on the ballot so they needed the black robbed tyrants to make up a right. Just like queer pseudo-marriage, it failed every vote still the social engineers of the court made law where they had no constitutional authority to do so. So if you want have a vote let’s ask all the dead babies murdered before their birthday?

Roe v Wade decision was based on a LIE, admitted by the participant. So it should be overturned. And killing babies is absolute evil.

Hell yes! Put Roe v. Wade on the ballot, and while you’re at it put homosexual marriage on there as well.

I double dare you!
