What is this?
Take a step back with me for a second and I’ll show you what…
Wow. Spot on.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S MESSAGE TO JOURNALISTS REGARDING POTENTIAL FUNDING CUTS

robertreich:
The following was sent to me by someone in Madison, Wisconsin, who found it in the Capitol building last week. It was obviously written in a hurry, and it carries the label “first draft.”
It’s emerging from the heartland – from Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Iowa — and it is…
