Guess Who Joe Biden Just Awarded the Highest Civilian Honor To

President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands.

The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.”

Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief; during that time, she was caught on an undercover video arranging payments for fetal tissue from aborted babies. However, the clinic has denied allegations that the video is accurate.

After making the video public, Richards said she defended her job, claiming that “Our donation programs — like any other high-quality health care providers — follow all laws and ethical guidelines.”

Richards has “led some of our Nation’s most important civil rights causes — to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women’s reproductive rights and equality, and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote,” Biden said on Wednesday.

She has spent most of her career pushing the Democratic Party into embracing so-called abortion “rights” as a critical issue on the ballot. During her time at Planned Parenthood, Richards’ $1,033,274 salary resulted in her overseeing more than 3.87 million babies. Recommended Georgia Conducted a Hand Count Audit of Its Election Results.

She also co-founded Supermajority— a progressive organization that advocates for gender equity.

“A leader of the utmost character, she has carved an inspiring legacy that endures in her incredible family, the countless lives she has made better, and a nation seeking the light of equality, justice, and freedom,” Biden continued.

Former President John F. Kennedy Instituted the award in 1963, declaring that it should only go to individuals who make “an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

I don't have to "guess," and it wasn't "just," it was two days ago.

“Carved” is a good choice of a word there Joey, as she and Planned Parenthood liked to carve a baby out of it’s mother.

The award has been so politicized and devalued in the last 20-30 years, given out more to score points in the culture wars - both ways, than for truly national merit.

I hope we get to be present at his judgment.

I hope we are allowed to cheer the Lord’s judgment of him.

It seems that Cecile Richard is married to to Kirk Adams, a labor organizer with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecile_Richards

Once upon a time, I was involved (together with several other science department leaders) in personally petitioning our university administration on behalf of the janitors who cleaned our labs. Their union, SEIU, would not lift a finger on their behalf! Nor would leftist faculty members.

Eventually, after we had left the university, SEIU went all in on “Justice for Janitors”. By then, it was too late. The situation for all janitors in the university went from bad to worse!!

Besides that, the national SEIU is all in for barack obama. Not so good!

Real Americans aren’t going to want them awards anymore. Every scumbag will already have one.
