The woman replacing Al Franken, the Democrat U.S. senator from Minnesota who is being forced to step down in the face of allegations of past sexual misconduct, is a former vice president with the Minnesota franchise of abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
Now Minnesota's lieutenant governor serving under Governor Mark Dayton, Tina Smith (shown) first showed up in Minneapolis in the 1980s, working for General Mills. In 2003 she signed on with Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota as the abortion provider's vice president for public affairs — in reality serving as a high-paid lobbyist canvassing legislators and other government functionaries for taxpayer handouts.
As reported by pro-life news site LifeNews.com, during Smith's tenure with Planned Parenthood MN from 2003 to 2006, the abortion provider was responsible for 9,717 of the murderous procedures, and was reimbursed nearly $460,000 by Minnesota taxpayers for performing almost 2,000 abortions on low-income mothers. During that time Planed Parenthood took the lead in abortion procedures in the state and raked in a whopping $12.65 million in government funding.
