The hit ABC show Scandal has become the hot spot for pro-abortion celebrities both on camera and off.
On camera, Scandal offered us the infamous Christmas episode when Kerry Washington's character underwent an abortion while "Silent Night" played in the background. The episode mirrored Washington's off-camera persona as an abortion enthusiast.
Next in line to claim the title is actor Tony Goldwyn, who plays the President on the hit show. Attending the PaleyFest television festival in Hollywood, Goldwyn wore a Planned Parenthood pin and offered reporters his own personal take on the abortion conglomerate. Needless to say, he sang their praises as having performed "lifesaving work" and branded pro-lifers hypocrites for not believing the myth that PP does mostly mammograms and abortions at a miniscule rate of only three percent.
“There’s been a lot of disinformation about Planned Parenthood and the focus of the lifesaving work that they do for women’s health care,” the actor told Glamour magazine. He continued:
I saw a much-publicized image of all those white men sitting around in a room at the White House talking about what should be done about women’s health care, and I thought I would step up [by wearing this and speaking out]. If Planned Parenthood is defunded, millions of women, particularly women struggling economically, are going to be in serious trouble. And the truth is, there will be far more abortions performed—and unsafe ones as a result. The people that are antiabortion actually are sabotaging their own moral stance by taking this position.
Glamour writer Jessica Radloff nearly had an orgasm over this:
As we’ve pointed out numerous times, abortion constitutes just 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services, and except in cases of rape, incest, or severe threat to a mother’s life, no federal money is used to fund abortion services. But cutting federal funding for PP would put access to breast exams, Pap tests, colposcopy procedures, HPV vaccines, reversible contraception procedures, pregnancy tests, STI tests, and HIV tests at risk.
As noted by Lila Rose of Live Action, the "only 3 percent abortions" is a myth peddled by abortion enthusiasts to silence their opposition.
“To justify its half billion dollars in taxpayer funding, Planned Parenthood downplays abortion – falsely claiming that it only makes up three percent of its business – and instead plays up its cancer screenings and so-called ‘women’s health care,’” explains Lila Rose, president of Live Action.
