The United States is ready for a female president. We’re ready for Carly, not Hillary.

Last week America learned Planned Parenthood harvests the organs of the unborn — a fact that should surprise no one but appall everyone. Why should we be surprised when the organization founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger, a woman committed to limiting procreation within African-American communities, is sending human tissue to laboratories in the name of science? Why should we be surprised that an organization that views babies and fetuses as obstacles to a woman’s happiness, rather than a miraculous gift of life, would treat our unborn baby’s parts as commodities?

Today, it has come out that another top doctor in Planned Parenthood was complicit in the sale of baby parts. Very clearly, this doctor bartered over price — obviously looking to make as much money as she can.

Yes, we are appalled.

I applaud Carly Fiorina for coming out stronger than any other candidate against Planned Parenthood, again revealing how she’s set herself apart. She’s put it perfectly:

“Every woman and every man has to look at these videos and think: What has gone wrong in our nation.…This is a terrible moment. And it is made more terrible by the absolute deafening silence of the Democrat party. Democrats have always fought for a policy that says it is not a life until it leaves the hospital. Hillary Clinton has fought to defend that policy.”

The biggest nonsense is that this sordid group is subsidized by American taxpayers — the majority of whom disapprove of its practice. I stand with Carly: It’s time to defund Planned Parenthood.

This isn’t the only instance where Carly stands in stark contrast to Hillary Clinton. One of the most admirable and respectable traits Carly possesses: transparency. Ask her what happened during her tenure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard. She’ll tell you. She’ll tell you she was fired in a boardroom brawl. She’ll also tell you HP revenues doubled, innovation tripled, growth quadrupled and HP became the 11th-largest U.S. company under her leadership.

Now do the same to Hillary. Ask her about her tenure as secretary of state. Ask her about Benghazi. Ask her about the contents of the emails she destroyed. Ask her about the questionable Clinton Foundation donors. All Hillary will do is provide a convoluted narrative that continues to unravel as we learn more.

The American people pay the salaries of our public officials. Their job is to provide us information about their dealings. Transparency is a responsibility of office. After all, we the people must know how our elected officials are wielding their authority.

I ask: Who do you trust to have the integrity to be transparent with the American public? Are we so accustomed to sleazy, professional politicians that we will pass up an opportunity to have remarkable leader like Carly Fiorina in the White House?

I hope not.

Please join me in supporting a true, citizen leader — a Washington outsider — Carly Fiorina for President of the United States.
