Solicitor general bases attack on Planned Parenthood on debunked hearsay

[LiberalArkie]

Leslie Peacock yesterday and Linda Satter in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette demonstrated amply that Gov. Asa Hutchinson and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge are trying to take Medicaid payments away from Planned Parenthood medical clinics in Arkansas over unproven and wildly misleading allegations made against related organizations in other states.

Arkansas clinics don't do surgical abortions. They don't participate in fetal tissue donation programs. The state has not a shred of evidence that Planned Parenthood operates in any manner but responsibly in Arkansas. Only about 2 percent of its business is legal abortion — by drugs in the first nine weeks of pregnancy. It provides a range of health and contraceptive services at one stop, which the state's new solicitor general, Lee Rudofsky, agreed were available at state clinics only cumulatively, by driving who knows how many miles to who knows how many locations.

But I note this from Rudofsky in John Lyon's account of the hearing at the Arkansas New Bureau:

Arkansas Solicitor General Lee Rudofsky argued that the videos raise concerns about the possibility that Planned Parenthood may be selling human tissue for a profit and altering abortion procedures to ensure it obtains tissue it can sell. One video suggests that tissue was taken from an aborted fetus while its heart was still beating, he said.[/div class]

1. Who cares, so they are trying to kill Women...I dont think most of America cares

at least i wont believe it unless I see something happen.

Either men will be men and Americans will be Americans and do something

not sure what, I am up for suggestions

but they did this to ACORN, which existed SOLELY to help poor people

if they can do it to them, they can do it to anybody

the who cares is sarcasm, obviously

but i wonder who does care?

2. When are they going to break out the crosses and rosaries and start chanting scripture!?

4. MIsogyny is the other thing driving all current politics. It all started with the way

Sarah Palin was treated.

Yes she is dumb.

Yes she is horrid.

No, I dont think she is qualified to be dog catcher.

But

She was treated very differently than the men in that race.

But so was Obama, for a different reason.

Not started, but reenergized.

3. The only reason that abortions are allowed is that way back when the tv networks had new programs

they had documentaries on the back alley abortions and hanger abortions. There was such an outcry from the public that abortions were made legal. I am afraid that with the news media we have now, that there could 1000 girls a day found dead from back alley abortions and not a peep would be on the news. Much like what we used to hear about the police shooting innocent people. We never really heard anything until the last year or so, but it has been going on for decades.

There is, I am afraid, a lot of blood going to be shed before it gets any better.


ACORN started a great listener supported radio station in Little Rock. KABF 100,000 watts. Great community programming much like the old Pacifica stations used to do in the 60's and 70's. KABF carries programs and news from ACORN in New Orleans.
