One of the things Carly Fiorina learned as CEO of HP was how to make use of available resources. On Wednesday, that meant capitalizing on the presence of little kids while on a campaign stop at the Greater Des Moines botanical garden. No longer were they preschoolers on a field trip—now, without the permission of their parents, they were props at Fiorina’s “right to life” forum.

According to The Guardian, Fiorina directed 15 children to the stage, where she instructed them to sit quietly in front of a banner of a fetus while she spoke about Planned Parenthood harvesting organs.

“The kids went there to see the plants,” said Chris Beck, a father of one of the children, to The Guardian. “She ambushed my son’s field trip.”

“Taking them into a pro-life/abortion discussion (was) very poor taste and judgment. I would not want my four-year-old going to that forum—he can’t fully comprehend that stuff. He likes dinosaurs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers.”

1. Sick. She is so desperate this is what she resorts to.

I wish she would go away.

2. What a horrible vile woman.

And, were the parents given permission forms to photograph the children for campaign purposes? Every year I had to sign a form that expressly allowed my kids (or not allow my kids) to be filmed/photographed for school related promotional purposes.

I would be outraged as a parent to have that happen. I would go after the school that allowed it.

And, wtf are parents to say to kids if they ask "Mommy? Whats an abortion?"

4. The school admins would see me sitting on the front steps when they arrived..

in the morning if my kid was in that picture.

Screw Fiorina. You trust the school to protect your children from the evils of the world.

5. Yeah if I had a kid and she did this to him or her it would goddamn well be lawyer time.

I'd sure as shit be taking her to court if she pulled a stunt like that.

7. Fifteen counts of child abduction.

Sounds right to me.

None of them appear to be thrilled to be there.

8. Where the hell were the adults who were responsible for these kids on their field trip????

The woman is a disgrace to humanity.
