“The Nightly Show” gave Senate Republicans on Tuesday a name for their dogged campaign to defund Planned Parenthood: a Pap Smear Campaign.
The Senate Democrats narrowly blocked a vote Monday that would start the process to defund Planned Parenthood.
“That’s why I’m calling this Planned Parenthood attack for exactly what it is: It’s a Pap Smear Campaign. That’s exactly what it is. In a Pap Smear Campaign, people don’t care about facts. So these attacks don’t seem to be revealing any illegal activities. Instead they’re reveling in shaming women, their health practitioners and doctors. It’s as manipulative and infuriating and sadly predictable as that love triangle in ‘Orange is the New Black,’ ” Wilmore said.

So, if Republicans truly do not like what is LEGALLY happening in the videos and want to stop it immediately (all caps, exclamation points to infinity…), the solution is simple: propose a law banning ALL fetal tissue research.
Just tell the Americans who either have, or are at risk of having: Parkinsons, Alzheimers, Type II diabetes, macular degeneration, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, heart disease, etc (and their families) about your moral objections and how the protection of an unwanted fetus far outweighs the value of their lives and/or quality of life. I am sure they will understand.
So Republicans, here’s your chance: put up, or shut up.
…Or is it just easier to pick on women?
Between this and ACORN, one thing is clear–if you want to smear someone or something, just get some shaky secret video. No one really watches or cares what’s on it. You claim it shows whatever you want, they will deny it, and everyone else will only remember the controversy.
