As a poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal showed, funding Planned Parenthood would be the No. 1 motivator for a Democrat to pick up a protest sign and start marching. Socialist Bernie Sanders decided he too would jump on the Planned Parenthood train tonight, but his defense of taxpayer funding tended to overlook quite a few realities.
When millions of Americans lack health insurance Planned Parenthood clinics provide the care too many women cannot access elsewhere.

@SenSanders Yes, Senator Sanders,isn't that supposed to be taken care of by Obamacare? Obamacare that the Democrats and Socialists passed?

@SenSanders why do we need Medicaide, Obamacare AND federally funded PP? I thought Obamacare was supposed to take care of all? Pls explain..

@SenSanders Millions lack health insurance? What of Obamacare's individual mandate? Surely people aren't breaking the law?

@SenSanders … So #Obama's Affordable Care Act failed? Claimed to make health insurance affordable for ALL? Thus #PP duplication needed?

@SenSanders uh, obamacare is the law. Buy it or else the IRS comes at you. No?

@SenSanders wait I thought Obamacare gave insurance to millions of Americans? So confused.

@SenSanders How many millions, Bernie? Doesn't everyone have it? Obamacare says they have to.

Just suppose for a minute that Obamacare isn’t doing what was promised. Then you can see why Planned Parenthood must be funded by taxpayers, right?
@SenSanders There are other alternatives besides this corrupt over funded baby killing organization.

As long as we have the Planned Parenthood expert on the line, let’s hit him with one of those “gotcha questions.” And it’s not, “Is cervical cancer caused by too few orgasms?”
@SenSanders What all services do they provide?

… that can’t be found elsewhere? Tens of thousands of mammograms, right? Dozens? Zero?
