What happens when black, pro-life woman addresses the danger Planned Parenthood poses to the black community in front of Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen?

Cohen’s treatment of Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) founder and president Star Parker was nothing short of shameful.
What an awful, dismissive response from this Democratic Rep. Part of a sexist pattern for this politician too… https://t.co/hepqRiduzt

Trying to imagine the headlines if a white GOP Rep treated a black female witness this way, yelling at her and calling her ignorant https://t.co/xBx78sqL3w

Seriously watch the way @RepCohen treats this woman. Where is the #ShePersisted crowd on this? Are you kidding me? https://t.co/jJg3gNXXtA

Amazing. His only response to her thoughtful, calm statement was to call her ignorant & tell her how she should treat a man of his standing

Rep. Cohen could learn a thing or two about dignity from Ms. Parker.
They know they are losing on the issue. Thank you Lila and others working hard on this. Keep it going.
