It’s strange how often Beyoncé has been cited on Twitter lately, especially for someone who hasn’t delivered a major address to the press or public.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign jumped on an amateur Instagram photo of Beyoncé at a fundraiser at the home of music producer L.A. Reid that made its way into Marie Claire magazine, asking Twitter followers if they wouldn’t “Bey” on Team Hillary too.
Say you'll Bey on Team #Hillary2016, too: http://t.co/X1Jyv1CdKw pic.twitter.com/qRVZCONXig

Now it’s Cecile Richards’ turn to assume the support of Beyoncé, by tweeting a couple of seconds from her 2014 performance at the MTV Video Music Awards where the singer, as one tweeter put it, required barely clothed female back-up dancers “to dry hump everything in sight.” It was there that the superstar outed herself as “a 100% no-apologies feminist,” proving that the no-apologies feminists of Planned Parenthood are anything but a “fringe movement.” Partial-birth abortion? Totally mainstream.
When Beyonce outs herself as a 100% no-apologies feminist, it's hard to write us off as a "fringe movement"!!! #tbt pic.twitter.com/FlhsXGnx07

Speaking of “no-apologies feminism,” it looks as though Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, has no plans to correct the record on an out-of-context quote from Gov. Scott Walker pulled from an interview with no-apologies conservative Dana Loesch. As Twitchy reported yesterday, Walker told Loesch that “it’s a cool thing” that he can still carry around ultrasounds of his grown sons on his iPhone. Through a game of telephone started by Right Wing Watch, though, Planned Parenthood managed to glean this:
Appalling. @ScottWalker said that a mandatory ultrasound is "just a cool thing" for a woman having an abortion to do: http://t.co/3Vr2zvANbn

Mandatory ultrasounds are manipulative & invasive, & they unashamedly invite politicians into the doctor's office. #CruelNotCool

Inga was told she had to get an ultrasound before having an abortion in Texas. "I was horrified." Does that sound cool to you, @ScottWalker?

Calling mandatory ultrasounds "cool" once again proves how out of touch @ScottWalker is with real women's lives. #CruelNotCool

So abortions are #CoolNotCruel?
