The grossest thing you will read today

These people are totally shameless. How dare they:
After Biles’ historic performance, TheBlaze’s Matt Walsh used her family history as an adopted child and her subsequent success as evidence that abortion was “a devastating tragedy” perpetrated by Planned Parenthood disproportionately against black women.
According to Walsh, “if Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry had their way, she would have never made it to the podium … seen the light of day … [and] wouldn’t even have a name, let alone Olympic gold medals.” He argued that Biles’ success was in opposition to the efforts of Planned Parenthood to target “single black women” and predominately operate clinics in economically disadvantaged communities. Walsh further lauded Biles’ adoptive parents and said without their intervention Biles “would be one of the untold million … decomposing in a medical waste dumpster behind an inner city abortion clinic.”
This is from a post by Media Matters. You can find the link to the original piece of garbage there as well as a lengthy history of this bilious set of lies and a refutation of the facts.
This is a hideous and disgusting slam against Planned Parenthood and African American women that has no basis in reality. The higher abortion rates for poor women of all races, including African Americans, is a reflection of the fact that imbeciles like this man insist on denying proper health care and shaming as a perverse way of making women magically not get pregnant.
It is sickening to see them use the athletic achievement of Simone Biles and the lovely story of her family and juxtapose it with vile propaganda to make their dishonest political point. What awful awful people they are.
