Fox News Demonizes Planned Parenthood, Says They're Doing Sex Change Operations
For 2016, the new shade is on transgender people. With all the right-wing states trying to rush new bathroom rules into effect, with the Congress even inserting the same ALEC language into the Defense Appropriations bill, it's up to Fox News to demonize transgender people as much as possible.
As an extra added bonus, they figured they could use Planned Parenthood as the villain in their scenario, too. Because why not?
Media Matters reports:
Fox News is arguing that Planned Parenthood’s newest venture is helping “transgender patients with sex changes,” which the FoxNews.com article says will help fill budget gaps caused by the health care provider no longer accepting reimbursements for fetal tissue donations. But Planned Parenthood has offered trans-inclusive health care services, according to well-established guidelines, well before the organization discontinued fetal tissue reimbursement.
