During Wednesday night’s GOP debate, candidate Carly Fiorina managed to tie together her opinion on the Iran nuclear deal and the debate over taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. “One has something to do with the defense of the security of this nation. The other has something to do with the defense of the character of this nation,” she explained.
A visibly angry Fiorina went on to challenge Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to view the undercover videos of organ harvesting made by the Center for Medical Progress. “This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.”

@cnnbrk @CarlyFiorina Absolutely! HIllary, Sanders, should visit abortion clinic and see the heinous procedures of second term abortions.

Christie's answer to Planned Parenthood was very effective. Turned it to HRC, listed things worth shutting down government to achieve…

And was promptly overshadowed by Fiorina, whose answer on Planned Parenthood will be in every video recap of the debate.

@stephenfhayes Almost drove me to tears. She's so right.

@stephenfhayes Carly Fiorina just made possibly the most powerful pro-life statement ever made.

Update:
We’ve uploaded video of Fiorina’s response, but highlights of the debate are online at CNN’s website as well; just head there and look for the handy bias-free description, “Planned Parenthood attacked.”
