"Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina drew raves from Republican and
conservative
observers Wednesday night with her answer to a question that dealt with the debate over funding for Planned Parenthood.
observers Wednesday night with her answer to a question that dealt with the debate over funding for Planned Parenthood.
In the second Republican presidential debate, candidates sparred over whether Republicans in Congress should vote to defund the organization, even if it leads to a government shutdown. Planned Parenthood has come under scrutiny after the release of undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood executives discussing using aborted fetuses for research.
Some, like Ohio Gov. John Kasich
(R), argued that Republicans should wait until 2017 — when a
theoretical Republican president would take office.
But others, like Fiorina, said
Republicans should take action now — and put the onus on Obama to veto a
government-funding bill that defunds the organization. (The White House
formally promised to do so on Wednesday.)
"I
dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, watch to these tapes. Watch a fully
formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while
someone says, 'We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.' This is
about the character of our nation. If we will not stand up and force
President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us!" Fiorina said, drawing
raucous applause." yahoo
