Recently Obama played the guilt card in his campaign for gun control as he cranked up the tears.
President Obama made an emotional plea for Congress to pass gun-control legislation, telling the political world “shame on us” if it has forgotten the 26 people killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School less than 100 days ago.“Shame on us if we've forgotten,” Obama said Thursday at a White House event where he was flanked by more than a dozen mothers whose children were the victims of gun violence.
The president paused for effect several times in his remarks, stating: “I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we've forgotten.”
Characteristically, Obama reminds us that he might be the only person on Earth who hasn't forgotten Newtown. Yet he might also have described those children as "fetus(es) outside of the womb" and there are a bunch of kids he seems to have forgotten about back in Chicago.
Exactly what age do children have to reach before they are no longer forgotten by Obama?
The Weekly Standard posted a video in which Planned Parenthood argues in favor of infanticide. From that video:
Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion.Alisa LaPolt Snow, the lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified that her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.
"So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief," said Rep. Jim Boyd. "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
"We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician," said Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow.
Rep. Daniel Davis then asked Snow, "What happens in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”
"I do not have that information," Snow replied. "I am not a physician, I am not an abortion provider. So I do not have that information.”
Rep. Jose Oliva followed up, asking the Planned Parenthood official, "You stated that a baby born alive on a table as a result of a botched abortion that that decision should be left to the doctor and the family. Is that what you’re saying?”
Again, Snow replied, “That decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.”
and then comes the hammer:
“I think that at that point the patient would be the child struggling on the table, wouldn’t you agree?” asked Oliva."That’s a very good question. I really don’t know how to answer that," Snow said. "I would be glad to have some more conversations with you about this.”
Later another representative asked Snow, “What objection could you possibly have to obligate a doctor to transport a child born alive to a hospital where it seems to me they would be most likely to be able to survive?”
Snow said Planned Parenthood was concerned about "those situations where it is in a rural health care setting, the hospital is 45 minutes or an hour away, that’s the closest trauma center or emergency room. You know there’s just some logistical issues involved that we have some concerns about.”
Logistics.
In the warped Planned Parenthood universe "logistical issues" decide whether any effort ought to be made to save a life. (Think of the ramifications this could hold for Obamacare) Planned Parenthood loves abortion. It's big business. They want to open abortion centers in schools and would open an abortion center in everyone's home if permitted.
Here's the video:

But that thing- logistics- I know I've heard that before.

The DemocRATS’ preferred method of murdering children is by abortion. They get really pissed when someone does it with an “assault rifle”.
Well, according to the “honorable” charlie rangle, millions of youts are killed or wounded every year with these weapons of war. Even general stanley mac-crystal agrees that these weapons of war don’t need to be on America’s streets. And don’t for get that “leading” gun control advocate and former Navy captain/astronaut mark kelley-giffords. Well known for having his AR transaction cancelled and being able to violate the Marine Mammal Act without consequence.
Beat me to it. In 2008 the count was 1.2 million a year. And that’s only those reported.
How many children are mauled by dogs every year? How come not much is made about what kind of dogs we private citizens can own? Because dog ownership wasn’t covered in the constitution? Liberals will go to great lengths to restrict freem from the private citizen.
How about our troops who have been injured and died in the line of duty? Can we not forget all those murdered on 911 as well as the hundreds murdered in Chicago and other cities all year? How about the decent LEO’s and canine heroes injured and killed in the line of duty. The rescuers?
That should give him enough to liberate enough fluid until he dessicates.

Well, Obastard’s position on survivors of botch abortions is well known.
Indeed. And shame on Obastard for forgetting what happened 9/11/01. His forgetfulness is evidenced by the fact he did nothing to beef up security at US interests around the world 9/11/12, as his predecessor did every 9/11 after 2001. In fact, when he learned of an actually occurring attack, he went to bed to get some rest for a campaign junket in Las Vegas the next day. I'm sure he slept soundly.
They get really pissed when someone does it with an “assault rifle”.
Chicago was dead last on gun enforcement and first in murder.
Nothing is said about murder through abortions or gang bangers in turf wars. Its all about the few mentally ill need of mental therapy who flipped out. It seems like they want to solve a problem using tactics with a huge price tag that will solve nothing. Instead, better treatment for the mentally ill would be money well spent.
