FIORINA: I was protested by Planned Parenthood people who were throwing condoms at me. I don't know what that has to do with this. They're trying to distract the American people from the hideous reality that Planned Parenthood is aborting fetuses alive to harvest their brains and other body parts. Planned Parenthood will not and cannot deny this because it is happening and taxpayers are paying for it. This is not about being pro-life or pro-choice. It is certainly not about birth control. It is not even about women's health. It is about the character of our nation.
Q: Do you believe this is still something that Republicans in Congress should force a government shutdown over and have this showdown with the president?
FIORINA: I believe if the president and Democrats are willing to defend what is roughly $500 million to $600 million line item in a budget, then let them explain it to the American people.
FIORINA: Well, we are finding common ground. People's views evolve on all kinds of things. And the American people's views have evolved on this. So let's just take one example. The majority of women, the majority of young people, the majority of Americans now believe that abortion for any reason at all after five months is wrong. Just as they believe that the butchery of live fetuses for body parts is wrong. So I think we ought to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act now. It is good politics. It is also good policy.
