Bringing attention to insane state representatives always presents a conundrum. On one hand, there are so many of them that it can seem like spitting into the wind. On the other hand, what they do has actual effect on millions of people, heaven help us, and there's also the Glenn Grothman Principle, which is that no matter how batshit insane any individual state legislator might be, there's still a damn good chance that they are going to at some point run for higher office, and win, and become the next Louie Gohmert.

So let's meet Republican State Rep. Isaac Latterell of South Dakota and his new thoughts on how Planned Parenthood is worse than ISIS.



In a blog post titled "Planned Parenthood worse than ISIS and lying about it," state Rep. Isaac Latterell (R) wrote about the beheadings of prisoners by ISIL, likening the executions to abortion. "Planned Parenthood abortionists in Sioux Falls are similarly beheading unborn children during dismemberment abortions," Latterell wrote. "Most people are unaware that this is happening, because Planned Parenthood of Sioux Falls denies that they behead or otherwise dismember unborn children."

"No state, no religion, and no organization should ever be allowed to use this unspeakably horrifying method. While we rightly take the speck out of our neighbor’s eye by holding ISIS accountable, let us be sure to take the plank out of our own eye by holding Planned Parenthood accountable," he wrote.

They deny it specifically because it is not true, but that isn't stopping Not Louie Gohmert, who is introducing a bill to bar Planned Parenthood from the "beheading of certain living unborn children."The nice man who says American women's health clinics are worse than ISIS is in charge of our laws, you know. People voted for him and everything. And if you are a woman who lives in South Dakota, whether or not you can get actual medical care in various situations may depend in large part on Rep. Isaac Latterell and his own pet theories about these things.
