McLaughlin Group regular, Eleanor Clift, speaking about federal funding for Planned Parenthood:
“I do have a problem when they try to cut funding toPlanned Parenthood which provides a lot of health services and a very small number of abortions.”
FYI: by its own admission, during the one year period of October, 2012 through September 2013 (the latest data I can find), Planned Parenthood performed 327,653 abortions.
If that’s a very small number of abortions, can someone tell me what a large number is?
Eleanor Clift is a reliably liberal/left drone. But she used to at least have command of facts at her disposal.
But now? Re-read the above and decide for yourself.
Oh, one other thing. If Ms. Clift just misspoke, and meant to say that abortions are a very small part of the services Planned Parenthood performs – it means that she’s buying into Planned Parenthood’s thoroughly doctored BS statistics, and is living in a dream world altogether.
Being a part of the liberal elite she can be certain to get away with saying anything she wants as long as it furthers the cause. She knows the msm won’t call her out.
