Memphis Commercial Appeal: Christ Community Health Services...stay in your lane

Memphis Commercial Appeal's  columnist  Wendi C. Thomas uses her platform  to continue carrying  water for Planned Parenthood . You remember her "serious "  column,  such as the infamous duct tape one where she  suggested that Republicans wanted to duct tape women's legs together!?!


She continues  this lofty thinking to her latest column attacking Christ Community  Health Centers in Memphis, who scored higher than her beloved Planned Parenthood in the evaluation process according to independent reviews.

Christ Community operate six medical clinics, a mobile clinic for the homeless and three dental clinics compared to  Planned Parenthood's one. Remember  this is in reference to Title X monies for family planning and not one  cent , per Ms. Thomas is used for abortions.    Yet, it becomes all about abortions. She finds it truly "inexplicable" that anyone could score higher  than  Planned Parenthood who she considers THE  experts.

Planned Parenthood's CEO, Barry Chase, is incensed that Christ Community would give women facing unplanned pregnancies options to consider  other than abortion which to him is the only  $$ option.  Christ Community states that women know that Planned Parenthood is the place to go for abortions but just the idea that they might hear other options is for Chase and Thomas beyond the pale and reason  to be outraged.


While she starts off her column stating by saying...

"I have nothing but respect for the righteous work that Christ Community Health Services does. The workers live their faith by caring for the poor and are irreplaceable."

That seems to be as far as her calm side can go. As her column progresses her feelings  show a hardened side as she turns on those "righteous" people at  Christ Community who   MUST be replaced by the experts at Planned Parenthood.

Consider some of her closing comments. Can you hear the rage? I do note that she posts this at midnight. Maybe her reasonable clock had run out.

"Aside from mean-spirited political and short-sighted religious convictions, there is no reason to give this grant to Christ Community. "

"...there is no place for federal family-planning dollars to go to an evangelical, anti-choice health center. " ( Remember this is about family planning, not abortions, Wendi)

Put more simply, Christ Community should stay in in their lane.

Stay in their lane, Ms. Thomas??  Is that like saying sit in the back of the bus?   I thought they were irreplaceable a few paragraphs up? 
Better hide the duct tape....your editors may want to use it on you.
