Janet McPherson of Whiteville wrote on Wednesday. A portion of her comment has been edited a bit for language on the radio:

I was appalled to hear Bob Workmon introduce an upcoming story about the Planned Parenthood fetal tissue scandal by saying, "although the series of sting videos gives no evidence that Planned Parenthood is breaking the law..." I beg to differ! I have watched all of the videos and I think there is plenty of evidence that Planned Parenthood is breaking several laws. However, even if they have not technically broken laws, they have certainly violated the rules of human decency by dismembering [their treatment of] babies in the womb and then callously dissecting them and peddling the parts. And they call this "women's health care”!

In response, we thank Janet for her comment. The announcement in question was based on NPR’s reporting during All Things Considered. We believe that their story was factually correct on the issue of whether any laws had been broken by Planned Parenthood. That will ultimately be up to the courts to decide. The question of whether the videos were graphic and disturbing is, of course, another matter.

Friday Feedback is going to take a holiday for the next couple of weeks. I’ll leave you with a few more comments from our recent Stealth Drive:

Now there is a comment that could have been lifted straight from an episode of The Big Bang Theory. Thanks.
