To its long list of lies, Planned Parenthood adds "we’re nonpartisan"

Richards seemed to be well on her way to achieving her stated goal of turning Planned Parenthood into “the largest kick-butt political organization,” as she told the New York Times in 2008. A fawning Washington Post story in October 2016 declared that Richards had achieved her goal: “One thing, though, is indisputable: her success at creating a powerful political juggernaut.”

Then Election Day happened, and instead of Richards taking selfies with President Hillary Clinton in the White House, it was leaders of pro-life organizations being invited to the Oval Office. Ouch.

Now Planned Parenthood is facing down a Vice President Mike Pence, who was trying to defund them before it was cool, back when he was a member of Congress. They are looking at the possibility of criminal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice under Jeff Sessions and repeal of forced abortifacient insurance coverage by Secretary Tom Price at the Department of Health and Human Services.

So what do they do? Employ their public relations team in overdrive, which has apparently come up with the brilliant idea of saying that Planned Parenthood is a nonpartisan organization and that women’s health care is not political.
