Gov. Sam Brownback repeatedly criticized Planned Parenthood during a news conference Friday after calling for the Board of Healing Arts to investigate abortion facilities earlier this week.Laura McQuade, CEO of Planned Parenthood Kansas & Mid-Missouri, spoke out, noting to the governor that Planned Parenthood has no tissue donation system, as the governor well knows. Piping up to speak on the issue was Kansas for Life, the state right to life organization, which agreed noting that the ban has been in place since 2000 at their insistence.The governor’s action comes in response to a series of hidden-camera videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group, that appear to show officials from Planned Parenthood discussing the sale of tissue from aborted fetuses.
“I don’t think they ought to be selling human hearts. I see that as wrong. I think most Kansans see selling human organs as wrong,” Brownback said. “We’re talking about humans here. Not just pieces of tissue.”
Governor Brownback, though, couldn't resist taking shots in Twitter today, and his efforts to troll Planned Parenthood did not go as planned.
