Fox News contributor Erick Erickson called on companies to cease donations to Planned Parenthood, accusing donors of having “subsidized the brutal killing of animals.”

Right-wing media and the GOP have pounced on deceptively cut videos released by the anti-choice conservative group The Center For Medical Progress (CMP), which claim to have caught Planned Parenthood officials “haggling over” prices for fetal tissue and discussing “the selling [of] aborted baby parts” for profit. Although fact checkers and mainstream media quickly and roundly denounced the “shady” videos" for “show[ing] nothing illegal” and fabricating the myth that the reproductive health provider profits from the sale of fetal tissue, conservatives have exploited the videos to call for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

Erickson, editor-in chief of RedState.com, took the right-wing drumbeat a step further in a July 23 post. He equated pregnant women seeking reproductive health care to “pregnant female animals,” going on to write that companies that support Planned Parenthood “subsidized the harvesting of organs from young animals that are otherwise crushed up through direct donations to the organization crushing the animals.” Companies who support these practices “should be ashamed,” Erickson said, calling on a list of 39 companies that support Planned Parenthood to cease their donations:

Coca-Cola has not only ruined its signature product with that idiotic Freestyle machine that makes all its drinks taste terrible, it also has subsidized the brutal killing of animals. It is horrific news that should unite the left and the right. Coca-Cola has been joined by Verizon in subsidizing this.

Both companies have contributed to an organization that takes pregnant female animals and pulls their unborn from them and crushes them. In numerous cases, the barbarians who do this procedure then take the organs from the small, crushed animals and give them to others for scientific research.

PETA and other organizations have long protested the use of animals for scientific research, yet Coca-Cola and Verizon have subsidized the harvesting of organs from young animals that are otherwise crushed up through direct donations to the organization crushing the animals. In some cases, a procedure is done on the pregnant females where their unborn are vacuumed out. In other cases, the unborn baby animals have their heads slit open and their brains sucked out before the rest of the animal is ripped apart and extracted from its mother via the animal's birth canal.

Coca-Cola has subsidized this organization. Verizon has subsidized this organization. The have contributed money that is used to make this happen. Even worse, scientific evidence strongly suggests that the baby animals in many cases can feel themselves being ripped apart. In fact, they have to let the animals grow to an advanced stage to be able to harvest the organs -- a stage advanced enough for brain function and nerve function and pain sensors to develop.

Coca-Cola and Verizon have subsidized this. They should be ashamed.

There are thirty-seven other companies that have subsidized the brutal extraction of small animals from their mothers to harvest their organs. The Homo sapiens need to be protected and cared for against this brutal torture.
