Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss an ad from the American Life League suggesting that Planned Parenthood does the equivalent of putting live babies in blenders (the ad uses a rabbit). They explain that newly elected Republicans across America are pushing an extreme religious right agenda.

1. Disgusting on many levels.

First of all, abortion aside, loads of people depend on Planned Parenthood for reproductive health care!

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/womens-health-4284.htm

* Breast Cancer Screenings
* Procedures to Prevent Cervical Cancer
* Female Infertility
* Menopause
* Menstruation
* Ovarian Cancer
* Pap Tests & HPV Tests
* Pelvic Exam
* Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
* Yeast Infection & Vaginitis

90% of the services PP provides are preventative care services that have nothing to do with abortion. Lots of people, especially people trapped with abusive or non-understanding families rely on PP for reproductive health services.

If you want to hear first-hand from someone who benefited from PP, listen to Chloe Heintz:

This is the kind of person you screw over when you cut Planned Parenthood funding.

But moreover, why am I supposed to get teary eyed over a rabbit? If rabbits were a pest, eating someone's crops, or otherwise unwanted, no one would think twice about shooting them or trapping them or poisoning them, any more than people do when mice or other rodents infest our homes. Just because they have cute beady eyes doesn't make them sacrosanct. This is just heartstring pulling shock video.
