On Tuesday, Republican members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee lambasted Cecile Richards, the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, for five hours. From watching the hearing, I learned three things. One, Richards makes more than $500,000 a year. Two, it’s not enough. For taking that kind of abuse, she should be paid more. Three, the GOP’s arguments for defunding Planned Parenthood are incoherent. They cancel each other out. Pick them apart, and you’ll see what the party really thinks: that no organization involved in abortions should get public funds for anything it does. Republicans are mounting a boycott, using your tax money and the threat of a government shutdown, to force medical providers to stop offering abortions.
