Comedian Sarah Silverman took to Twitter on July 27 to defend Planned Parenthood, but conservative Ben Shapiro got the last laugh.
Planned Parenthood has come under attack after several undercover videos showed executives from the abortion provider discussing how they harbor and sell fetal tissue.
Silverman came out to immediately defend the organization and said harboring the tissues of babies murdered in the womb was a good thing.
“Abortion is still legal in the great U.S of A. It would be insane not to use fetal tissue 4 science & education in such cases. #StandWithPP,” Silverman wrote on Twitter.
She received a lot of pushback, especially from conservative writer Ben Shapiro.
“Killing Jews was legal in Nazi Germany. It would have been insane not to use their skin for lamps,” Shapiro responded on Twitter.
Both Shapiro and Silverman are Jewish.

Despite the escalation in the horrors shown in the videos, Silverman has continued to stand by the organization.
