Biden's Abortion Gaffe: Tells WI audience “Under Law Planned Parenthood Can’t Perform Abortions”
Life News ^

Posted on 10/20/2012 5:53:55 AM PDT by oneprolifewoman

Campaigning in Wisconsin, pro-abortion Vice President Joe Biden misled voters today by saying Planned Parenthood, the nation’s biggest abortion business doesn’t do any abortions.

“Now these guys pledge that they’re gonna de-fund Planned Parenthood, which under law cannot perform any abortions,” Biden said.

The Obama campaign is already having to clean up the misstatement, saying Biden meant to say that, under law, Planned Parenthood can’t use the federal funding it gets to pay for abortions.

Planned Parenthood’s own figures show it to be the biggest abortion company in the nation.

Planned Parenthood did 329,445 abortions in 2010 while it provided prenatal care to only 31,098 women and referred only 841 women to adoption agencies.

The number of women receiving prenatal care dropped significantly from 2009 to 2010, as the abortion business helped 40,489 women in 2009 — meaning almost 10,000 fewer women received prenatal support from Planned Parenthood last year than the year prior, or a drop of almost 25 percent.

The number of women getting adoption referrals also declined — from a low 977 in 2009 to 841 last year, or a decline of 14 percent.

Examined another way Planned Parenthood does 391 abortions for every adoption referral it makes and almost 11 abortions for every woman it helps with prenatal care.

Between this and Obama's mistaken comment about Planned Parenthood performing mammograms (THEY DO NOT - they just manually palpate for breast tumors, something that any trained physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant can do) you have to wonder how uninformed these guys are about abortion issues!

OK.

Now I'm convinced that Biden has been given orders to purposely obfuscate.

I wonder what would happen if someone tried to shut down PP’s abortion mill stating that according to the vice president they were not authorized to perform abortions.

“Biden meant to say” (from the article)

Wait just one minute....

Biden said in his debate with Ryan, at least twice...

I mean what I say!

OK. I get it. The Democrats are afraid that there will be too many people. But you can’t claim to be a Christian and be that afraid. They don’t trust God. They believe the world can only support 30 million people. The fact right in front of them is that God somehow provides for several billion people on our world. Oh, ye of little faith. You let your unfounded fear kill hundreds of thousands of innocents in our country every year. And you want to export this culture of baby killing. The Christian martyrs weep to know they gave their lives and some Christians don’t have the courage to stand against the slaughter of innocent babies.

Planned Parenthood says 91% of their time is spent performing abortions.
