Back in January, Cecile Richards announced that she would be stepping down from her post as the head hosebeast at Planned Parenthood. At first I was all, “Yay! See ya hag!” That lasted about two seconds, because I quickly realized that Planned Parenthood would simply pick another horrific hag to replace her.
We’re just switching out hags. Let’s be honest here.
It begs the question. Who’s the new hag? Rumor has it “Abortion Barbie” Wendy Davis has a real shot.
The one-time Texas gubernatorial candidate spoke to POLITICO’s Anna Palmer for a live taping of the Women Rule podcast Monday at the South by Southwest festival and sidestepped questions about her interest in joining the organization. Planned Parenthood’s current president, Cecile Richards, announced her plans to step down earlier this year. She is slated to leave the organization in May.
Planned Parenthood has set up a committee and is working with a search firm to find her replacement. Davis is one of several Democratic women who are privately being discussed among Democratic operatives and donors as a potential successor to Richards.
GROSS.
Davis currently runs an organization called “Deeds Not Words.”
Deeds Not Words is your starting point for turning ideas about women’s equality into action. We’ll provide the tools you need to make changes in your community – like sample letters for legislators, toolkits, and a community where you can share stories and get advice.
Short version: It’s another feminist organization that operates on myths and straight up lies about female inequality.
When asked Monday whether she could see herself running the organization someday, given her active involvement, Davis praised the work of the group. She didn’t directly address whether she was interested in Richards’ position.
This part was especially insufferable.
“I know — without a doubt — that without Planned Parenthood, without the contraceptive care that I received from them so that I could prevent a second unplanned pregnancy, I know I wouldn’t be here today,” she told Palmer. Davis, who once had an ectopic pregnancy, had previously said that a procedure performed by Planned Parenthood saved her life.
If not for Planned Parenthood, she wouldn’t be here (or there or wherever) you guys. ‘Cause there’s NO WAY any other organization could’ve helped her. Planned Parenthood or bust!
As I said earlier. Planned Parenthood is simply replacing one hag with another. The replacement will suck no matter what, because Planned Parenthood is legitimately evil.
