Do you know what upsets TV host Joy Behar? If not, then don\u2019t worry. She\u2019ll tell you.<\/p>\n

She certainly told Jeb Bush<\/a>. In October, Bush made the mistake of saying actress Melissa Benoist was \u201cpretty hot.\u201d Behar wasn\u2019t amused, and accused him of \u201cobjectifying women.\u201d Behar went on to complain that \u201ctalking about women\u2019s looks\u201d\u00a0is something she doesn\u2019t want to hear politicians doing. She doesn\u2019t mind doing it<\/a> herself, though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On an episode of The View,<\/i> Behar\u00a0likened presidential candidate Carly Fiorina\u2019s face to \u201ca Halloween mask,\u201d with co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Michelle Collins joking that\u00a0she\u00a0seemed \u201cdemented.\u201d Granted, the cast did more than demean Fiorina\u2019s physical appearance; on another episode, they also took time to debate with her<\/a>. They just did a lousy job of it.<\/p>\n

When the former CEO mentioned Planned Parenthood\u2019s record of harvesting fetal organs<\/a> and\u00a0performing late-term abortions<\/span>, Goldberg and Behar said she was lying (the facts say otherwise<\/a>). They also suggested her support for defunding Planned Parenthood shows\u00a0Fiorina doesn\u2019t care about the poor. Goldberg declared that \u201cthe only women who are really affected by Planned Parenthood are women who are low income.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all due respect to Ms. Goldberg, this simply isn\u2019t true. Planned Parenthood doesn\u2019t just affect low income women–it hurts women from all backgrounds. What is<\/i> true? That plans to defund the group\u00a0would\u00a0actually help those\u00a0in tough circumstances.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is America\u2019s largest abortion chain<\/a>, and if you want to see how it harms women and girls, you don\u2019t\u00a0have to look hard. Gary Cross<\/a> didn\u2019t.\u00a0Cross brought his 13 year-old stepdaughter\u00a0to Planned Parenthood\u00a0after he impregnated her. She was well below the age of consent, but that didn\u2019t prompt staff to contact law enforcement. They set her up for an abortion instead, allowing the abuse to continue undetected.<\/p>\n

Fellow child rapist Timothy Smith<\/a>,\u00a0John Blanks, Jr.<\/a>, Adam Gault<\/a>, Joseph Coles<\/a>, Kevon Walker<\/a>, Edgar Ramirez<\/a> and Denise Fairbanks\u2019 father<\/a>\u00a0also received assistance from Planned Parenthood. Accused serial rapist Tyler Kost<\/a> apparently got a hand without even knowing it.<\/p>\n

One of\u00a0Kost’s alleged victims says that when she went to Planned Parenthood, a staff member told her reporting the rape would require too much paperwork. Local law enforcement claim an investigation could have been opened months earlier<\/a> if only\u00a0a report had been filed.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0it doesn\u2019t stop there. Planned Parenthood staff have also been caught offering to commit gendercide<\/a> , cooperate\u00a0with\u00a0racists<\/a>, and arrange abortions for child prostitutes<\/a>\u00a0 who \u201ccan\u2019t speak English<\/a>\u201d and \u201cwon\u2019t know what\u2019s going on<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
