resident Obama has canceled plans to deliver a keynote address at Planned Parenthood’s annual fundraising dinner Thursday night after critics decried his high-profile role at the abortion rights group amid new concerns about the brutality of illegal forms of abortion.

White House spokesman Jay Carney announced the decision to cancel the keynote speech at the gala during his daily press briefing with reporters Wednesday. He attributed the schedule change to Mr. Obama’s desire to spend more time at a memorial service in Waco, Texas, for family members of the victims of the fertilizer plant explosion.

It is coming apart at the seams.

[a fool in paradise]

Can’t hide from his own support of the murder of babies that survive botched abortions.

Lost the “p” in President when I copied / pasted. Thought to add it, but, why bother?

Please Support Pro-Life Free Republic.

Pretty significant for him to cancel this address to this crowd.

If Kermit Gosnell had a son ...

[what's up]

Yes, Obama seems to be running kinda scared this week.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe Planned Parenthood can get Gosnell to speak in Obama’s place, after all, those two have A LOT in common

[GeronL]

Leftists don’t care. The Houston Dems hold Christmas parties at Planned Parenthood.

[VanDeKoik]

He would plunge scissors into his neck?

[don-o]

Article says he will still address the PP on Friday.

But I thought Obama’s approval ratings bounced after his minions failed to “connect the dots”, & allowed the Boston terrorists free rein? Why, if his approval has really rebounded, is Obama concerned about keynoting Planned Parenthood?

I think his own internal polling shows he’s on a slide. He’s in-your-face when he thinks he can get away w it, but his actions say he doesn’t think he’s getting away w it right now. Bet that so called bounce is gone by next wk...if not sooner.

I feel guilty for laughing. :(

You can't count the loss at Ct and support abortion in the same breath.

And you sure as hell can't tell your daughters it's all right if they want to kill their babies....dad is all for it. What a scumbag...

Barack Obama on Abortion in his own words .

You do not have to come to Waco idiot..We know you would rather be at the baby killer rally so go..I really don't think you will have a very good welcome here unless you bus in your fags and liberal demons..I hope everyone boooo’s you you filthy Commie Muslim..I was going to go but not with that criminal terrorist lover there..

Oh and BTW that bunch of devil from that Baptist Church will be here,,the Sheriff said last night there better not be any disruption from anyone and he meant it..I hope he puts the whole bunch on a jackasses drawn wagon and escorts them out of town..

The Gosnell trial is exposing abortion for the brutal murderous act it is....there is no hiding it although the media is trying. These disgusting group of butchers are going to pay eventually. Gosnell will be paying in about a week. He faces the death penalty...no one is more deserving of it!!!
