Planned Parenthood officials are advising Democratic state legislators against even acknowledging the pro-life side of the abortion debate.

Deirdre Schifeling, the national director of organizing and electoral campaigns for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, spoke to a crowd of Democratic state legislators at the State Innovation Exchange conference in Washington, D.C., Friday. Schifeling advised candidates about how to grow support for pro-choice policies.
