About 15 Planned Parenthood protesters chanted and threw condoms at Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Saturday as she campaigned at a University of Iowa football tailgate, ABC News reports. One even dressed as a monthly supply of birth control pills.
A condom landed on Fiorina's head, which she immediately swatted off.
At CNN's Republican debate earlier in September, Fiorina performed well — and surged in polls afterward — but also drew criticism in response to her comments about the women's health clinic. She incorrectly claimed video footage shows Planned Parenthood keeping a fetus alive to harvest its brain.
