ICYMI: Planned Parenthood Said It Was "Disrespectful" Paul Ryan Invited Nuns to SOTU
Townhall.com ^ | January 18, 2016 | Christine Rousselle

Some of House Speaker Paul Ryan's guests for the State of the Union address were sisters from the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic religious order dedicated to caring for the elderly poor. The order is suing the federal government over the HHS Mandate, because the sisters do not want to provide contraception to their employees via their insurance plans. (The group does not qualify as a "religious employer" because they employ and serve people of all faiths.) Naturally, Planned Parenthood took offense to this.

Never missing an opportunity, @SteveKingIA & @SpeakerRyan used tonight's #SOTU address to send an anti-abortion message. The disrespect.— Planned Parenthood (@PPact) January 13, 2016

Personally, I think it's more disrespectful to force a group of women to violate vows to God, but what do I know?

The Little Sisters go out EVERY day and beg for their food.
Local grocers and butchers provide. THEY know that someday THEY may be elderly and uncared for and that these sisters are jewels.

Kabuki theater. Ryan threw us under the bus. He likes to say that budget was thrown at him, already in place before he had a chance to act.

He was Chairman of the House Budget Committee the whole time that nightmare budget was being hatched, had a HUGE part in crafting it. No show will change my mind on this traitor.

Feeling a little heat Planned Parenthood? Are those mean nuns making you feel uncomfortable?

Nothing compared to the heat that you are going to feel (if you get my point).

“Disrespectful” to who?

Seriously, I don’t get it.

I still cant understand why celibate nuns were being forced to buy birth control in the first place.

Well, I can. It was Obama, but still.

PP can go pound sand. When was the last time one of them fed or sheltered the elderly (or anyone else, for that matter)?

Their religious habit (based on the Indian sari) of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Little Sisters of the Poor have a very similar habit

Planned Parenthood should set up shop in Syria and help ISIS kill innocent people.

Contempt, disrespect and scorn should be heaped on Planned Parenthood in shovels the size of a Nimitz-class carrier.

Evoking a public image of Mother Teresa by having the Little Sisters seen at the SOTU was anathema to the Left and Planned Parenthood.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. The hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."- Thomas Jefferson, Author of Declaration of Independence

"Progressives" must, in effect, deny the Creator of all life in order to rationalize that likewise created human beings possess a right to "destroy" that which they, themselves, were privileged to possess, solely because they passed through the mother's birth canal unharmed by the hand of another.

"All honor to Jefferson--to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression.- Abraham Lincoln, Letter to Messrs Henry L. Pierce & others. Source: Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy P. Basler.

Source for this reproduction of the letter here.

At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on February 3, 1994, Mother Teresa stated: “And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

So-called "progressive" politicians, in order to advance an agenda opposing Second Amendment rights, in what might appear to be faux grief over murdered adults and children resulting from the use of other instruments, might consider Mother Teresa's words.

As a result, so-called "progressives" have led America away from the very premise of its very founding documents. Such a movement, in the context of the history of civilizations, is, in fact, regressive, and now openly supports entire industries facilitating the "destroying" of life and liberty of those who have not emerged into the light and liberty which birth allows.

All of the faux tears and the torrent of words decrying the "deaths of children" by guns are meaningless when one reads Hillary's commitment to a federal government policy such as Planned Parenthood carries out.

That’s the least of Planned Parenhoods problem. Wait until they stand before their Creator in judgement and He throws them into the Lake of Fire for eternity.

Oh, yes, it will be hot. 59,000,000 slaughtered babies will not come to pass without Divine retribution. 59,000,000 little lives... Think about that.
