Glenn Beck surpassed even his own standard of reckless depravity when he called women who need Planned Parenthood "hookers" on his radio show Monday.
Beck has been involved in a ridiculous public feud with MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell for the past several months.
Both hosts typically go back and forth mocking and spouting insults at each other during their shows, but during his latest rant against O'Donnell, Beck broadened his target to include women who use Planned Parenthood.
After he replayed a clip of O'Donnell, who was driven to tears on his show while reading an e-mail from a friend who said she relied on Planned Parenthood services, Beck ordered his producers to stop the tape.
"Stop just a second!" Beck said. "Hookers? Who depends on Planned Parenthood?"

Then, mocking the woman, he said, "I’ve got 400 abortions that I have to have. I’ve got these children that I have to have aborted. I depend on Planned Parenthood."
While this behavior isn't wildly out of character for Beck, it does give us some insight as to the types of attitudes we are up against in our mission to protect our bodies from government interference.
