Even before Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, released a video attempting to defend the organization in light of the fetal parts for sale video that has rocked the abortion profiteer, she had taken to Twitter to attempt a modicum of damage control. She failed.
It seems that Twitter users aren’t buying her spin, and they aren’t afraid to tell her so. Richards posted several tweets on July 15, the day after the video release, attempting to spin the video as an attack against her upstanding health care agency.
Instead of getting mounds of sympathy, Richards was met with sarcasm and anger. A sampling of the many tweets includes:
@CecileRichards Lol “compassionate care”–didn’t realize killing unborn humans and selling their body parts was compassionate care #mybad

@CecileRichards Important personal decisions like, “Do I crush above or below this limb?” #PPSellsBabyParts — Daniel Gardner (@Daniel_Gardner) July 15, 2015
@CecileRichards crush it and compassionate don’t go together.

How much must your cut be per baby head sold to get to your $500k salary? #ghouls @CecileRichards

@CecileRichards If selling dismembered baby parts is compassion, I’d hate to see what you consider brutality.

Richards didn’t have much success with her declaration of fighting for patients, either. 
In fact, this comment turned rather ironically on her:
.@CecileRichards So in your twisted world, dismembering little kids and selling their organs and limbs is fighting for your patients? Got it

MT @CecileRichards We’ve fought for our ability to harvest and sell human organs before, and we’ll fight for them again and again.

Did you sell their body parts after the fight? RT @CecileRichards We’ve fought for our patients before, & we’ll fight for them again & again — Matt (@Matthops82) July 15, 2015
@CecileRichards “We’ll fight for every piece of them! The Livers! The Hearts! Lungs are now available for sale as well!” #PPSellsBabyParts

When that failed, Richards pulled the “the GOP hates us” card. 
That went over as well as her other tweets:
.@CecileRichards You’re angry at the wrong people. Don’t get mad at the GOP because you were busted harvesting baby organs.

@CecileRichards no they think murdering and dismembering baby’s is evil and shouldn’t be paid for by tax payers!

@CecileRichards Don’t think you’ll spin your way out of this. Where’s your humanity, conscience? https://t.co/8SqWYKnzdB #PlannedParenthood

@CecileRichards – You really should just not tweet. You’re proving to the world what you’re really about…and its not pretty
— Ulysses (@Just_a_Texan) July 16, 2015
@CecileRichards Or maybe they just think selling baby parts for profit is disgusting. Idk, it’s a close call. *eye roll*

@CecileRichards this has nothing to do with the ’16 elections. You will not be able to make people look away from this. #PPsellsbabyparts

@CecileRichards People attack PP because you MURDER babies you dunce

While there is a small group that is vocally supporting Planned Parenthood, the loudest voices are not. When “choice” is a watered down word, people may turn a blind eye, but when they hear someone sipping wine, munching food, and talking about how the forceps clamp in the right place to get the right body parts to sell, even people who believe in the right to abortion start to distance themselves from the sickness that is Planned Parenthood. Instead of cheering her on, most people are saying, “Hey, Cecile, the jig is up.”
