On Monday, Dr. Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood’s new president, responded to a vote on the\u00a0Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act since thwarted by politicians beholden to the abortion corporation. Wen\u00a0tweeted<\/a>, “Today, the Senate will vote on a bill that criminalizes doctors for a practice that doesn\u2019t exist in medicine or reality<\/em>.” (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

It takes deliberate ignorance to make such a claim, given the years of factual proof documenting how babies that survive abortion have been left on tables to die.\u00a0But when you are protecting an abortion empire, you might say just about anything.<\/p>\n

Wen’s claim that the legislation wasn’t needed because the practice of leaving a child born alive to die on a table after an abortion doesn’t exist is pure fabrication on her part. And she should know better. After all, it was just a few years ago that Planned Parenthood’s own Florida lobbyist was asked what would happen if a baby was born alive after a botched abortion.<\/p>\n

Alisa LaPolt Snow, representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, responded, “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cThat decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.\u201d<\/p>\n
