Warren: GOP Intentionally Coordinating Planned Parenthood Vote and Fox News Debate

‘This is an all-out effort to build support to take away a woman’s right to control her own body and access to medical care she may need’

Warren Says GOP Intentionally Coordinating Planned Parenthood Senate Vote and Fox News Debate Schedule (RealClearPolitics)

Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks in opposition to Republican proposals to defund Planned Parenthood, which are scheduled to for votes in the Senate on Monday afternoon. The Senate vote seems to come in response to outrage in the conservative media over videos puporting to show potentially illegal activities taking place at abortion clinics, videos that the president of Planned Parenthood and the president of the United States have said are fraudulent. It is quick work by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Warren is rightfully suspicious.

"Let's be really clear about something," she says. "The Republicans scheme to defund Planned Parenthood is not some sort of surprise response to a highly edited video."
