Writing at Townhall, Cortney O’Brien details the plain truth about Planned Parenthood. When Americans are informed about the grisly organ trade the organization engages in, support for their continued funding plummets:
It’s amazing what happens when the truth comes out. As I wrote over the weekend, when surveys about Planned Parenthood are worded accurately – that is, informing respondents that the GOP-led Congress is not a bunch of ogres and actually wants to shift funds from the abortion giant to lifesaving pregnancy centers, a majority agrees that defunding the organization doesn’t sound so bad after all. Now, a new poll from The Polling Company reveals more of the same.
The Polling Company offered basic truths about the supposedly “women’s health” friendly Planned Parenthood, and the results were not flattering.
“When we communicate three basic truths about Planned Parenthood being the nation’s top abortion provider, that: senior officials there have been shown on video to be discussing; the harvesting and trafficking of aborted baby body parts, and; engage in one-sided partisan electioneering, support for the organizations and their taxpayer funding tumbles.”
“Tumbles” is putting it kindly. Once Americans become aware of the Center for Medical Progress’ disturbing undercover investigation, a majority of poll takers, including a majority of Democrats, support a further examination into Planned Parenthood’s practices.
On a separate question, a 68%-majority of Americans, including majorities of self-identified Republicans (76%), Independents (72%), and Democrats (64%) back continued investigations based on the video allegations.
Let’s hope the word gets out. The horrific crimes committed by Planned Parenthood have no place in America.
