White House assails move to defund Planned Parenthood

President Obama opposes Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of damaging videos exposing its fetal tissue donation program. White House press secretary Josh Earnest stopped short of issuing a formal veto threat against the legislation, but he said “on balance, the president would not be supportive of such congressional action.”

"This is a tactic we have seen used before," Earnest said of the GOP legislation. "The president obviously does not support that ongoing effort.”

The spokesman accused Republicans of trying "to play some politics with some selectively edited videos" and said they were released in a "fraudulent way."

Earnest's comments came on the same day anti-abortion activists released a fourth undercover video detailing Planned Parenthood’s fetal tissue donation program, containing the most gruesome footage to date of aborted fetuses. Earnest also said he is not sure if President Obama has seen the videos, but added he is following the story in the news.

He had no specific comment on the footage, other than to suggest the footage was selectively edited.

[”This is a tactic we have seen used before,” Earnest said of the GOP legislation.]

Deuteronomy 29:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

Luke 8:11-12 King James Version (KJV)

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Not quite and neither are we Mystery Babylon.

However, the country is replete with trademarks of both, especially of late. You’re not wrong there.

As it was in the Days of Noah, as it was in the Days of Lot, so shall it also be in the days of the Coming of the Son of Man (paraphrased).

Why does the conservative press even bother going to a WH press conference?

The 30fold/60fold/100fold with that parable of the sower, and how it relates to Israel in the wilderness is an awesome study. It links as to why Revelation 13 has His first 4 Commandments under assault by the enemy.

And why the Least in the Kingdom will be those who do not do the Commandments and teach others not to do them as The King himself said..

Yes, the 30/60/100 fold is one of my favorites.

I expect a harvest of 100 fold (or more). It keeps me going through a lot of days.

Wonder if the Obama girls would have had any other brothers & sisters?

Here is the money question who are the ones profiting from the sale of the baby parts?

Not PPH, they sell to Stem Express for cheap, something like $30-$40 per part. Stem Express, whose founder/CEO’s sister works for Boenher, sells those parts for $3,000.00 - $4,000.00 each.

Nice profit.

So my question is who are the owners/stockholders of Stem Express? Are they members of the US Congress? Or the execs of PPH, just who are they?

Keep hitting them with the new evidence and publicly force them to defend the funding.
