Colorado lawmaker praises Latterell's PP/ISIS dissonance

A Republican state representative in Colorado is “very proud” of South Dakota state Rep. Isaac Latterell, an anti-choice lawmaker who wrote a blog post last month comparing Planned Parenthood to the Islamic State. “I am discerning the spirit of God on this state rep from South Dakota,” Colorado state Rep. Gordon Klingenschmitt said in Tuesday’s edition of his online video series called “Pray in Jesus’ Name.” “His name is Issac Latterell. And he is taking a stand to protect the innocent, and I am very proud of that.” In his blog post, titled “Planned Parenthood Is Beheading Children and Lying about It,” Latterell, the South Dakota state lawmaker, wrote that “Planned Parenthood abortionists in Sioux Falls are similarly beheading unborn children during dismemberment abortions.” A spokesman for Planned Parenthood in Sioux Falls has said D and E abortions are not performed in South Dakota. A bill introduced by Latterell to ban the procedure in South Dakota was gutted last month.
