NEW: With the great Nina Martin, I wrote about bombshell allegations about a Planned Parenthood chapter in the South that has been taken over by new leaders with conservative connections. One new leader has even described herself as "pro-life." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Scoop: Staffers fear a southern Planned Parenthood faces a “dangerous threat from within”
One new leader called herself “pro-life” and another asked about partnering with anti-abortion groups.
