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."

Although money may be one reason for these heinous acts, it’s much more.

0bama and his minions are into blood lust, ritual baby sacrifice, selling body parts, and abortion is simply the means for occultists, wiccans, and evil worshiper to serve their master Satan. In some ways this parallels the radical Islamic true believers and their lust for beheading Christians.

The animating force of these people is the spirit of evil which is stronger than even money and power.

Islam has to be from the pits of hell.

REAL Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God, they don't crawl into a hole to listen to the hissings of The Serpent.

So the White House supports human vivisection and butchery. Monsters. Monsters.

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

I disagree. We Americans are now doing exactly what the German people did to halt the Nazi genocide: Nothing. And unless we change, America faces the same fate, or worse.

It is coming up for a vote under McConnell in the Senate. If it should even win, Obama vetoes it, and then it will require a 67% majority to over ride. Tough to over ride in that snake pit.

Obama ... hates America, hates Americans, hates white people, hates our armed forces ...

but passionately LOVES Planned Parent[sic]hood and everything they say or do. They can do no wrong in his eyes.

Something is seriously wrong with that individual. My personal belief is that he's demon-possessed, what exorcists call "perfect" possession.

“I WISH Republicans could get control of Big Media the way the Dems have had for decades.”

No one should have a monopoly on the media the way the left does now.

If they consider that butchers of innocent babies have “high ethical standards,” I have to wonder what they would consider as “low ethical standards.”

It is hard to imagine an ethical standard that is lower than that of killing babies for profit.

Ive been thing about this and the left’s continued support...seems to fall into the One World arena...I believe PP is a worldwide organization...this is going on around the world...if the US PP is destroyed...the whole organization goes...and the pushing of late term abortions is another aspect that will stop...(more $$ for more viable body parts?)...there`s a whole industry built up around this now...follow the $$$$

Understood. I’ve long understood the money they make in regular abortions (if you want to call an abortion “regular” in any sense).

My gut tells me there is something much more heinous here.

The first thing to understand about leftists, is that they are not interested in knowing truth. They are interested in knowing a kind of narrative.

The narrative about this issue is that these are "right wing videos" by "extremists" and "heavily edited" and that planned parenthood is only partly about abortions but is really a professional organization committed to overall women's health. There was never any real haggling over prices, that was just editing of the video no doubt--and of course there is no sense in watching the video to risk finding out that the narrative might be wrong and that my entire system of belief is a horrid willingness to blind myself to an evil...as a matter of fact, I will start working on some pre-rationalizations of why this isn't a problem even if true...in case it circumstances force its admission.

This narrative is quickly recognized as absurd to those interested of us in truth. But the leftists are invested heavily in their a fortress of false narrative...all the while rationalizing that they are open minded and liberated thinkers. Kinder and braver than all the rest of society. Better than everyone else really. They ought to be in charge you know. They would make things better. Given this delusion and its emotional rewards...they will be nasty and hateful and project their bigotry with vehement rage if made to face the truth. Their minds snapping shut, you will be faced with an irrational subhuman, closed off to reason and even the smallest measure of human decency...a pitiful creature like the shades of hell in CS Lewis's novel The Great Divorce, creating their own small insignificant hell within their shrinking self, until they may lose their humanity altogether.

It is a spiritual battle. There is no understanding it from logic or in a material perspective. Once it was cloaked in mysticism and pagan gods, today it is wrapped in science, progress, and ethics, but there is no difference. The death of the innocent has always been the ultimate rite of evil.

“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.” Ephesians 6:12

What about the women knowingly going there for abortions ?
That is the real problem in this country
The mere fact that so many Americans don’t see a problem with abortion to begin with

The Rainbow Palace has asked its god to “bless” the PP Nazis. I wonder which god it is talking about.

All about the money, power and influence. PP extorts $$ from its victims plus us the taxpayers. In turn they give to DemoRat pols and causes. Since most women vote DemoRat and the ‘sacred womens rights’ cabal at election time and turns into a ‘personal issue’ with the foolish, blinded females and their ilk which produces more Rat votes. The aborted babies are depersonalized and then sold off for more profits. Gonna suck mightily for the unrepentant baby murdering purveyors when standing before The Almighty who they fear not here on earth. Going to hell will be the absolute worst.....
