In his latest "Closer Look," Seth Meyers deftly explained the recent indictments of two anti-abortion activists who secretly recorded Planned Parenthood officials allegedly discussing the sale of fetal tissue. Although Meyers cracked that "Republicans got more excited about these tapes than your IT guy was for The Force Awakens," he reminded the audience that "the abortion debate is an emotional one, and it's always going to take everyone's best efforts, on both sides, to have an adult conversation about it." That's why he recommended that instead of defunding Planned Parenthood, we "defund planned bulls—t." Listen to Meyers' detailed plan to combat BS in the video below. Catherine Garcia
