I think this is an incredible response to Bachmann’s idiotic and dangerously irresponsible statement.
Two bioethics professors have offered to pay more than $10,000 for medical records that prove the anecdote Bachmann told after Monday night’s Republican presidential debate is true, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

I find it absolutely abhorrent that our elected officials would try to remove funding from such a necessary and outstanding public health resource. Regardless of what your views on abortion might be, Planned Parenthood provides countless other services that I think we can all get behind. Most importantly, Planned Parenthood provides these resources to individuals who otherwise likely go without ANY kind of services. This is bigger than reproductive rights - it’s about social justice.
