No matter where you stand in regards to what Planned Parenthood does or does not do for healthcare, it was just plain rude the way the Republicans treated Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, at the House hearing yesterday.
It went something like this:
REP JASON CHAFFETZ (R-UT) : Ms. Richards, tell me how you murder babies.
MS. RICHARDS: Well, I…
MR. CHAFFETZ : I don’t want to hear it!
And on and on. Every time Ms. Richards opened her mouth, someone from the Republican side was there to interrupt or talk over her, and rudely so. Don’t believe me? Here’s a video compilation.
Just one more example of how your Republican party is out to win over the women — and the men who support them. Not. Even the anti-choicers were embarrassed by their behavior.
Didn’t anybody teach them any manners?
It’s a man’s birthright to interrupt women.
Why would you need to hear an uninterrupted explanation for something you already have made up your mind about? To paraphrase an often misquoted movie line – facts, we don’t need no stinking facts.
