WH Totally Supports What Planned Parenthood Is Doing, Notes Its 'High Ethical Standard'

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?”

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."

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

Hmm. Nevertheless, the left has a monopoly on media. Also, I'm not so sure of the premise that no one should have a monopoly on the media. The media is leftist because media arts appeal to leftist sensibilities. Without getting their hands dirty or being out in the elements, they can create fantasies and bizarro worlds of everything normal, and consider it viable employment. They can have power and wealth and influence to "make a difference" and to "change the world" for others, while exempting themselves and their elitist fellow travelers.

In the earlier years of television, we restrained them, because advertisers feared our wrath. Now they do not. They have achieved a monopoly with the same tools that were available to us, but we were disinterested, because we generally have other things to do, and want to be left alone. Leftists do little but lust for power, feel sorry for themselves, envy others, rage at God, and above all exempt themselves from responsibility and consequence. We see that wherever they congregate, they insulate themselves with unions, and tenure, and protected class memberships. They do this because we let them. Further, we pay them to attack and undermine us, to destroy everything we hold dear, in front of us, in our faces, making laws along the way to protect themselves from our wrath.

A big reason we don't control the enemedia is that we keep on buying what they want to sell us, knowing it is wrong.

Now they are selling the body parts of aborted babies. What have they to fear? Will we still buy (with our tax dollars) what they want to sell us? We support them in much of their other evil work product, why not this one?

Stepping back a bit, the real issue from a broader perspective is “the right to engage in mutual masturbation with anyone, any time, with no adverse consequences”.

That explains both the fanatical support of “a woman’s right to choose”, and demands for “more money for AIDS research”.
