On Monday, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced that the state would be terminating Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid provider agreement because — take a deep breath, people, this one’s a run-on — “multiple videos have surfaced showing Planned Parenthood Federation of America senior personnel and other employees describing how they actively engage in illegal partial birth abortion procedures and conduct these abortions in a manner that leaves body parts intact so that they can later be sold on the open market.”
Following in the footsteps of Sarah Palin by buying into the narrative perpetrated by the Planned Parenthood hoaxers at the Center for Medical Progress, Jindal stated that he had “directed the Department of Health and Hospitals to investigate Planned Parenthood’s activities in Louisiana” — which do not include any of the procedures discussed on the deceptively edited videos, for the simple reason that neither of the two remaining Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana provide abortion services.
In effect, Jindal is ordering an investigation into something that can’t possibly occur based on video evidence that shouldn’t be trusted, but he is in the running for the Republican presidential nomination — if only barely — and further defunding Planned Parenthood is a cheap way to score points among socially conservative primary voters.
Wasn't it just two years ago that Jindal was begging the GOP to "stop being the stupid party?"
Looks like somebody should have taken his own advice.
Speaking of stupid Brancy is still promoting those videos like crazy.
Let's face it without the stupid people there simply wouldn't be a GOP base.
Governor Bobby Jindal defunds Louisiana Planned Parenthood clinics in response to hoax video, even though they do not perform abortions.
