Conservatives FACT CHECK Kamala Harris on Planned Parenthood and 'critical reproductive care'

Really Senator Harris? We’re now calling abortions “critical reproductive care”?

It’s ridiculous that the GOP wants to defund Planned Parenthood and restrict access to critical reproductive care.

Just call it what it is — abortion — and skip the Orwellian spin, thank you very much:

@KamalaHarris, you spelled “abortion” wrong.

Why are you all so afraid to call it what it is? https://t.co/BwPOmWc14e

No, it’s ridiculous that you call Planned Parenthood’s services “reproductive care.” https://t.co/UX1DpnA0L4

Removing a live baby’s brain with a small vacuum is not “reproductive care”.
It’s murder. https://t.co/hsyKX5ch2H

Planned Parenthood clinics provided fewer than 8,000 prenatal services to pregnant mothers last year. Again, compared to 321,384 abortion procedures. If PP actually provided valuable health care, they would serve pregnant mothers who want to keep their babies.

It’s ridiculous that you tweet these things with a straight face. https://t.co/1yMySNP5mF

But we need to fact check one other aspect of her tweet as well: It’s LOL-level funny to think the GOP has any desire to defund Planned Parenthood:

Good news, Kamala, it appears that the GOP only wants to *say* that it wants to defund PP. https://t.co/PdXupLBIqI

You're in luck! GOP has zero will to defund it! It's safe https://t.co/GL6HK6aEXi

Kamala Harris is HIGHLY concerned about upcoming election security (but she's not THIS worried) https://t.co/r0KRxgALFg
