President Obama has a long-standing, super close relationship with Planned Parenthood, most clearly exemplified by his willingness in 2011 to shut down the federal government rather than allow the abortion giant to be defunded.
Obama hasnt stopped with his own turf. He has also blocked state efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
The quid pro quo is obvious: Planned Parenthood spends an inordinate amount of money and engages its vast grassroots network to get pro-abortion candidates elected; then they as pro-abortion legislators hand money back to Planned Parenthood, the most recent example being the Obamacare funding stream.
The symbiotic relationship between Obama and Planned Parenthood goes back to his days as Illinois state senator, when Obama conspired with Illinois Planned Parenthood CEO Pam Sutherland to block passage of both the state Partial Birth Abortion Ban and Born Alive Protection Act.
Now, it the face of the growing Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal, the potential to strip Planned Parenthood of its $528.4 million in federal funding has never been more real.
If Planned Parenthood loses that funding, which accounts for 41% of its $1.3 billion budget, it will be severely hobbled, if it doesnt collapse altogether. It will certainly be in no position to help its political friends.
And as Planned Parenthood goes, so goes pro-abortion politicians.
So the stakes for Democrats are as high as the stakes for Planned Parenthood as the drumbeat for defunding grows louder.
Which is why, as pro-abortion Mother Jones aptly put it, Pro-choicers are actually freaking out about these Planned Parenthood sting videos And they should be.
Thus, on cue, Obama included Planned Parenthood in a July 24 video thanking enablers for keeping Obamacare afloat.
See :54 on the video:
110323_boehner_mcconnell_repeal_ap_328Make no mistake, this message also served as a shot across the bow to Republicans: Obama is not backing away from Planned Parenthood one iota.
So what? This shouldnt matter. As Todd Starnes wrote at Townhall on July 24, If the GOP cant muster the moral courage to defund Planned Parenthood, they dont deserve the White House in 2016.
More than being the politically right thing to do as this is clearly one abortion issue that has Democrats on the run it is the morally right thing to do.
Nearly unanimous approval by leadership of the practice.
Judicial branch in favor of the practice.
Over a quarter of the population in favor of the practice, another quarter completely indifferent.
Sure, we can live together as one country.
If only his mother knew what the blue book value was on a pair of kidneys and a liver.
More proof that these leftists haven't a principled bone in their miserable bodies.
Underneath all of the lofty rhetoric its all about money and power.
Don’t worry, God is going to put the hammer down.
Obama aka Count Dracula can be seen feasting on the bloodied parts of dead babies. These people are evil incarnate.
He can say and do whatever he wants because the republican majority has his back.
As much as I detest Obama, the invisible House and Senate infuriate me more.
How can 550 people fail to see this extremely flawed man for who he is?
There is no last line defense. It’s just incredible the lack of common sense in Washington, D. C.

All you need to remember, and say is:
“Punished by a ba-by”
Exactly! The traitorous GOPe.
This guy is a phu*k... a true phu*k...
This is not the country I grew up in. This is the Ted Kennedy country... this is the Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama country... This is not even close to what I remember as a young man... going to school.
What has happened here people? 380,000 abortions in 2014? Taxpayer money?
Yep...the Titanic is sinking. Perhaps we can give a few people life jackets!
I read this. I should believe it. But I can't. Maybe it's because it's hard to face the fact that only 1% of our representatives care enough to vote against funding baby vivisectionists.
The Dictator gives a shout out to baby murderers! Right on, Bro.
Obama is a punk.
The more conservatives attack PP the more Obama is going to support them. Just to make the pro-lifers mad.
A Dead baby is a terrible thing to waste.
