Where Does Abortion Barbie Stand on Infant Farming?

I stand with Wendy Davis
You can still get yours for the low price of $30 – including (get this) baby sizes.

Is Abortion Barbie  (Wendy Davis) still standing with Planned Parenthood, and are New Hampshire Democrats still standing with her?  Is Maggie Hassan?

Are they going to line the halls of the NH state house as they did in 2012 to support a wealthy companies right to sell hearts and lungs and livers–things that should not exist if the product of an abortion is…just some cells (move along bigot).

(Ellen Kolb) The hallways in the state house were lined on Wednesday with people sporting stickers emblazoned with the slogans “Trust Women” and “Stop the War on Women.” Such exhortations give me pause, inasmuch as I’m a woman, and none of my sticker-clad fellow citizens seemed inclined to trust me.

Is Obama’s Iran Deal Actually about Oil?

oil rig - theres another 'resource' we have to tap
Is Obama’s Iran deal actually about oil?

Part of the deal with Iran would lift sanctions and allow the sponsor of global terror to sell its oil in the open market. One estimate (see below) suggests it could add at least 1 million barrels a day to the global supply.

Do NH Democrats Support Harvesting Baby Body Parts?

But they don't need the heads
Because they don’t need the heads…

The big news – Planned parenthood not only sells baby body parts, then instruct their abortion doctors how to perform late-term and partial-birth abortions to optimize the profit margin on these sales.

Undercover actors captured this all on video at a business lunch where they posed as buyers from a biologics company.

The buyers ask Nucatola, “How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?”

“It makes a huge difference,” Nucatola replies. “I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium—the head—is basically the biggest part.”
