Hopefully, but even I vet articles better than that before posting them.

And I am not setting national policy on ANY issue. 
Let us hope not, because, either way, the guy is still a US Congressman. The problem is he IS a legislator and 1) thinks even a headline touting a Planned Parenthood "abortionplex" credible, 2) does not bother with any better RESEARCH on his legislative priorities or 3) both.
I mean, OK, let us assume, for the sake of, well, pity, he only read this headline: "Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex"
What does it say that his view of Planned Parenthood is so extreme and factually challenged his reaction was "well, that is just typical *quickly posts to Facebook*"?
What does it say that he had access to the article, if he DIRECTLY LINKED it, but did not bother reading it? Even though it is among his legislative priorities?
Good thing he is not expected to cast votes on bills where he is completely ignorant. Except, as a US Representative, he has a vote on any bill that reaches the floor.
Still not a great trait to display as someone supposedly involved with legislation, but I have a hard time believing anyone's dumb enough to take an Onion article like that seriously.

He probably posted on just the headline without reading the "article".
