Remembering Stephen Colbert's Legendary Defense of Planned Parenthood
[There was a video here]
Last April, during the fight over the federal budget, Stephen Colbert delivered one of The Colbert Report's most legendary rants.
Republican Senator Jon Kyl had argued that "90 percent" of Planned Parenthood's services were abortions, which his rep later said "was not intended to be a factual statement." Colbert easily debunked Kyl's statement—along with some other infuriatingly common misconceptions about Planned Parenthood's services—in a matter of minutes.
Ever since the Susan G. Komen Foundation announced that it would pull funding from Planned Parenthood this week, Colbert's take has been making the rounds again. Enjoy.
