Steve Beck: The end is near for ‘Wicked Witch’

As I watch the Planned Parenthood representatives deny the undeniable evidence in the videos that expose their illegal and gruesome activities (selling body parts of the babies they abort), I can see fear in their eyes. They seem to realize the curtain has been lifted and the end is near for Planned Parenthood – the Wicked Witch of the West. Their excuses are futile, their words hollow. They may as well be saying “Look what you’ve done, I’m melting, melting!” Congress is already voting to cut off federal funding, while corporate sponsors are scattering like cockroaches.

The thing to watch next is how the flying monkeys (ardent supporters who have done the evil bidding for Planned Parenthood, such as President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton) will react. So far, they are desperately trying to defend PP, their favorite campaign donor. I’m guessing when PP is shut down, and its leaders are carted off to jail, the flying monkeys will flee and deny their former allegiance. Hopefully that will be the beginning of the end for legal abortion in the U.S., and Americans will once again be able to say proudly, “There’s no place like home”.
