"The Center for Arizona Policy, which has been behind several pieces of conservative social legislation here, has deep ties to Republicans in the State Capitol and was once a close ally of Ms. Brewer’s. They parted ways last year after the center’s president, Cathi Herrod, campaigned hard against the governor’s plan to expand Medicaid, arguing that because the program paid for certain services provided by Planned Parenthood, it also funded abortions, even if indirectly.
Chuck Coughlin, who was the chairman of Ms. Brewer’s transition team and has remained a close adviser, said in an interview that he had told Ms. Herrod that her organization was “over the tip of its skis,” on the verge of losing its relevance because of its “very narrow social agenda.”
On Thursday, Ms. Herrod listened attentively to the debate on the House floor, nodding emphatically as State Representative Debbie Lesko, the Republican sponsor of the abortion measure, delivered a passionate defense of it, saying there was no reason the clinics should not be subjected to surprise inspections “like the kind of inspections that happen at Burger King and McDonald’s.”
Wow, man. These holy steamrollers are slow learners.
