Last week, Clinton made <a href=\"\/news\/pro-life-terrorists-hillary-clintons-unbelievable-smear-gops-believable-response\/\" target=\"_blank\">comments<\/a> likening pro-life Republican candidates to \u201cterrorists.\u201d Rep. Blackburn began by describing Clinton\u2019s remarks as &#8220;inappropriate, over the top, uncalled for.\u201d Brazile disagreed, claiming that Clinton was making &#8220;a contrast, not a comparison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clinton\u2019s comments were much closer to a comparison than a contrast. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/contrast\" target=\"_blank\">Merriam-Webster<\/a>, a contrast is \u201cthe act of comparing people or things to show the differences between them.\u201d Not only did Clinton <em>not<\/em> indicate any differences between pro-lifers and terrorists, she seemed to put them in the same category:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/video\/api\/embed.html#\/video\/politics\/2015\/08\/30\/sotu-tapper-clitnon-compares-gop-to-terrorist-groups.cnn\" width=\"416\" height=\"234\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Clinton said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Extreme views about women? We expect that from some of the terrorist groups. We expect that from people who don&#8217;t want to live in the modern world. But it&#8217;s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After a quick debate on Clinton\u2019s comments, the discussion quickly shifted to Planned Parenthood. Brazile was quick to point out that Planned Parenthood &#8220;provides mammogram services,\u201d asserting that \u201c97 percent [of PP\u2019s business] is for non-abortion services.&#8221; Though this seems to be a common notion, it is\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/misinformation-101-democratic-senator-claims-abortion-is-only-3-of-planned-parenthoods-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">completely inaccurate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Go to their website,&#8221; Blackburn retorted. &#8220;Their main business \u2014 they are America&#8217;s biggest abortion provider.&#8221; Blackburn also mentioned that most Americans are in line with Republicans on this issue. After seeing the undercover\u00a0videos revealing what Planned Parenthood does in secret (including the sale of human body parts and possible <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-support-infanticide-no-surprise\/\" target=\"_blank\">infanticide<\/a>), many Americans are indeed\u00a0growing disgusted with PP.<\/p>\n<p>Brazile made a point to attack Republicans\u2019 support for defunding Planned Parenthood, portraying it as a means to denying women proper health care. This too is completely inaccurate. If Planned Parenthood loses federal funding as a consequence of its illegal sale of human body parts, there are <a href=\"\/news\/if-planned-parenthood-loses-funding-heres-a-map-of-health-clinics-that-could-take-its-place\/\" target=\"_blank\">thousands of health clinics <\/a>across the nation which could take PP\u2019s place &#8211; and are, in fact, already <a href=\"\/news\/if-planned-parenthood-loses-funding-heres-a-map-of-health-clinics-that-could-take-its-place\/\">serving eight times as many people<\/a> as Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Defunding PP does not mean abandoning women&#8217;s health. Pro-choice Democrats like Brazile know this, but in an effort to sway public opinion and save face for Planned Parenthood, they twist the facts.<\/p>\n<p>The heated debate &#8211;\u00a0which is actually quite difficult to watch due to constant interruptions on both sides &#8211; at least appeared to end on a friendly note, with both women smiling and laughing. \u201cWe\u2019re Southern women\u2026\u201d said Brazile. \u201cThat\u2019s right\u2026 we\u2019re gonna get on the front porch and we\u2019re gonna have this fight,\u201d responded Blackburn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union,\u201d Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile engaged in a heated discussion on Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood.
