It\u2019s not as if the expectant mother will be looking at a human life with arms, legs, a head, a beating heart, etc. Oh, wait \u2026<\/p>\n<p>But how is providing this information dangerous? OK, I admit I can see how providing an expectant mother with all the biological facts concerning her baby might cause her to change her mind and \u201cchoose\u201d life, instead of allowing the abortionist to rip her baby\u2019s limbs, crush her baby\u2019s skull, and throw away her baby\u2019s remains like trash. Planned Parenthood would lose a lot of abortion money. So I concede this, in fact, is dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>That Rick Perry sure is cruel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cecile Richards, the CEO of Planned Parenthood, sent out an email asking: \u201cWhy is Rick Perry so cruel to women?\u201d Richards complained, among other things, about Gov.
