Protester Leigh Anne Woods confronts Roanoke County Supervisor Al Bedrosian.
GOP Roanoke County Supervisor Al Bedrosian, who's all in on
Jeb!'s plan to defund women's health, got a surprise at his recent press conference. Bedrosian's crusade to starve Planned Parenthood of money extended to ending county fundraising drives for the local United Way because the organization helps fund PP education services unrelated to abortion. But his anti-abortion rant
went awry when ...
A woman who was identified as Leigh Anne Woods by WDBJ walked up the podium and took her shirt off as Bedrosian was speaking.
“You have a problem because they perform abortions, look at everything else they do, they save lives!” Woods said.
“It’s more than birth control,” she insisted. “It’s more than abortion. They save lives.”
Woods told WDBJ that she wanted to show the county supervisor the scars from the mastectomy she had just weeks earlier, and she credited Planned Parenthood for saving her life.
Exactly. Planned Parenthood saves lives. Yet Republicans like Jeb! Bush and Al Bedrosian don't think the organization
should get a penny.
