Minnesota Gov
Appoints Former Planned Parenthood VP to Franken’s Seat
by Dr. Susan Berry 14 Dec 2017
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) announced Wednesday he will
appoint Lt. Gov. Tina Smith – a former Planned
Parenthood vice president – to replace
Sen. Al Franken who has resigned over sexual misconduct allegations.
After founding a marketing and public relations firm in
the state, Smith worked for political campaigns in Minnesota, including that of
Walter
Mondale for the U.S. Senate in 2002. In 2003, she was invited to
become vice president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, a post she held until 2006. While at Planned Parenthood,
Dayton’s office states
she “expanded education and outreach efforts to increase women’s access to
healthcare.”
“Tina Smith is a person of the highest integrity and
ability,” said Dayton in a statement on his website. “There is no one I trust
more to assume the responsibilities of this important office. I know that she
will be a superb Senator, representing the best interests of our state and our
citizens.”
However, Minnesota resident Kristan Hawkins, president of
Students for Life of America, says her organization views Smith’s appointment
as a sign of Democrats’ continued full embrace of abortion in their political
platform.
“As a successor to Al Franken, who preyed on women, it
only makes sense that his replacement would be someone who used to make money
preying on vulnerable women for Planned Parenthood,” she said in a statement.
“Students for Life of America strongly opposes the selection of Tina Smith.
Planned Parenthood continues to oppose even common-sense legislation, such as
requiring health standards for abortion facilities, protecting minors, and
prohibiting abortions based on race and gender.”
Last week, it was reported the
Department of Justice has launched a federal investigation into Planned
Parenthood’s practices and its alleged involvement in the sale of body parts of
aborted babies for profit.
According to Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report
released in May,
despite the low abortion rate in the U.S., the number of abortions at
the organization’s clinics has actually increased.
