MSNBC: CWA CEO debates Planned Parenthood’s former prez on healthcare
Concerned Women for America president Penny Nance debated Planned Parenthood’s former president, Gloria Feldt, on MSNBC today about the boom of pro-lifers added to the congressional ranks last month, the healthcare issue as it relates to abortion, and the appointment of pro-life Rep. Joe Pitts to head the House Health Subcommittee.
I note Penny was only given 2 minutes to speak (total 125 seconds) while Feldt was given 3 (total 181 seconds), no surprise.
Both are skilled interviewees. Feldt was deft at attempting to derail the topic to “women’s human rights” and anything but abortion, but Penny was equally deft at bringing the topic back.
Perhaps I’m the only one who saw the irony and got a laugh when the interviewer asked Feldt what she meant by “deep-sixing” healthcare reform. If she was trying to avoid using the word “kill,” she got caught.
Good job, Penny!

DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD!!! YAHOO!
I particularly found it entertaining when Gloria argued that abortion wasn’t being funded and then realized her mistake and tried to cover with, ‘This isn’t about that’… NICE save! ;)
Wish we could’ve seen a longer debate wherein the connection between contraception and abortion was unveiled.
Love how the interviewer allowed Gloria to interrupt Penny (only telling her ONCE “Hold on”) when he told Penny several times “I’ll get to you.” And Gloria tried interrupting more than one time!
