WH Totally Supports What Planned Parenthood Is Doing, Notes Its 'High Ethical Standard'
Townhall.com ^ | August 1, 2015 | Leah Barkoukis

Posted on 08/01/2015 7:00:47 AM PDT by Kaslin

While the recent videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s barbaric practice of selling and negotiating the price of aborted babies’ body parts—and the organs of those born alive—has convinced some Democrats that enough is enough when it comes to taxpayer funding for the abortion giant, others are remaining steadfast in their support for the group. Unfortunately, the White House is among the loyal, it seems.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, White House Press Secretary maintained that the undercover videos were highly edited and distorted. And when asked by a reporter where he is receiving his information, Earnest’s replied Planned Parenthood.

“Based on the public comments of Planned Parenthood, who has indicated that the views that are represented in the video are entirely inconsistent with that organization’s policies and with the high ethical standard that they live up to,” he said.

The reporter pushed back: “So would it be unfair to say that you’re simply taking your talking points from Planned Parenthood on these videos?”

No, it wouldn’t.

Unfortunately, this type of blind support for the morally bankrupt organization means that even if Congress did pass legislation that would strip Planned Parenthood of its funding, President Obama would veto it.

"On balance, the president would not be supportive of any sort of congressional act like that," Earnest said. "Apparently, Republicans are just getting started in that effort and that is an effort we oppose."

I believe Obama is a Satanic being. Whether he is possessed by a demon or is one himself or just chooses to support Satan, it is the same difference.

Abortion is the sacrament of leftist ideology. Without it morality returns. Abortion is the surest way to end the tyranny of Christian morals. When morality is stopped in its tracks the left has a clear path to institute its program of control. Abortion is the lynchpin of leftist ideology.

I understand all the agendas and initiatives and philosophical bents. That’s pretty much part and parcel to socialists, liberals and the demon freaks both attract.

My main concern is that there is something much more here under the surface. We see programs on TV all the time about evil in most any form doing its best to destroy the world; it’s our nature to watch these because somehow deep down we actually could envision something like that.

Pick your poison on those kinds of shows - they’re all over prime time now every night of the week almost. What if they really aren’t just from the imagination of some frigging, doped-out Hollywood writer?

It’s like asking Hitler to change his mind about National Socialism. Not gonna happen. Power corrupts, and people don’t change unless they have to.

We the People will have to MAKE IT STOP.

Rabid, militant fang-tooth man-hating feminazis give millions to democrats. In return they get government-paid abortion and guaranteed non-prosecution for baby murder when the abortion is botched.
Meanwhile this government is willing to hand the lion-killing dentist over to another country for prosecution.

If the Nazis did what Planned Parenthood is doing, those participating would have been prosecuted and hung or faced a firing squad.

Congressional resistance?

The most PP will get out of Boehner, Mc Connell et. al is another one of those endless and useless "investigations."

No surprise coming from the party that three times voted God and Israel out of their party at their convention in Charlotte to re-elect Barry the Transformer.

And, we, the foolish, elected him again anyway! D'oh!!

As they say, "elections have consequences."

Yep, they sure do. And then those consequences have a few consequences of their own followed by some not so famous last words: "Oops...didn't see that coming."

What better way to serve their dark lord than to sacrifice millions of innocent lives and call it good. I remember hearing about abortion when i was in Middle School in the mid 1970s. My gut instinctively detected evil. I have not wavered since.

As Ben Ladin so true fully said in reference to Christians vs. muslims, ‘You love life, we love death’ and to me that says it all in so far as this current administration is concerned. Islam has to be from the pits of hell.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

Obama... one of many, but definitely one. Can hell burn hot enough?

Why the loyalty?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
As an agnostic, even I recognize that this is a battle for men's souls.

Aren’t the people running PP and its supporters, Obama included, the same ones that called our returning soldiers from Vietnam baby killers?

Listening to those creepy women sorting through body parts and laughing “it’s a boy!!” when they found a penis made me want to puke.

Meanwhile the world shrugs and shed a tear for Cecil the lion.

Where is Pope Francis on this?

The entire world seems to be MIA
