The Rev. Franklin Graham has warned that the "blood of children" will be on President Barack Obama's hands if he does indeed decide to veto the defund Planned Parenthood bill that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday.
"President Obama has said he will veto the bill if he does, it will be at his own peril and the blood of those children who are butchered at Planned Parenthood will be on his hands," Graham warned in a Facebook post on Sunday.
The evangelical preacher said that the passing of HR 3134, which would strip Planned Parenthood of $500 million in taxpayer dollars for a period of at least one year, is a "great step."
"I'm thankful that those supporting this bill stood firm. It still has to pass the Senate, so we need to continue to pray," Graham added.
Public anger toward Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, has been growing over the summer after the release of several undercover videos by the pro-life group the Center for Medical Progress. The videos purport to show that Planned Parenthood employees have been involved in illegal and unethical practices surrounding the sale of aborted baby parts.
Protests were held at hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics in August, with pro-life supporters demanding the organization be stripped of public funding.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest affirmed last week, however, that Obama would seek to veto any effort to defund the group, which is among his largest supporters.
"We've been quite forthright about the president's opposition to any effort to wholesale defund Planned Parenthood," Earnest told reporters Wednesday.
Earnest further argued that it would be "cynical" to use the videos as a reason to defund Planned Parenthood.
"What has injected this issue into the political dialogue of late, the graphic videos that emerged on the Internet the last couple of months, Planned Parenthood has apologized for the content of those videos and they should. They were shocking," the White House spokesman added.
Graham, an outspoken critic of abortion, has been highly critical of the abortion-providing organization.
Back in August he slammed Democratic Senator Harry Reid of Nevada for suggesting that Republicans attempting to bring the bill to defund Planned Parenthood up for a vote have lost "their moral compass."
"You've got it backwards Senator Reid. You lost your moral compass years ago! You openly support abortion the murder of babies in their mothers' wombs and now by backing Planned Parenthood you obviously support the dismemberment and sale of baby body parts," the evangelical said.
The blood of Americans is exactly what he wants on his hands.
Obama does not care. He will veto it and go golfing.
Why did this fellow’s father back Bill & Hillary Clinton who have “worked their whole lives to insure reproductive rights to women.”?
Billy Graham tries to avoid confrontation as much as he can. Franklin Graham does not.
That has been my observation between father and son.
The blood of over 57,000,000 dead, innocent babies is on the hands of anybody who has ever supported abortion on demand. Planned Parenthood and the Organized Abortion syndicate can never cleanse themselves of what they have brought about. All politicians screaming “choice, choice” bear their part. The Roe SCOTUS was a sad joke.
You think he cares? Honestly look at his record on this before he was president. This guy is so cold he would personally slit their throats.
Senator obama voted against a law requiring medical care for baby abortion survivors.
Not once. Not twice. But three years in a row.
Harry Reid’s Bitch will spare Obama the veto.
The love of God — not the pride of Christendom — is the key, and that is why we have such a dismal state today.
‘Blood of Children’ Will Be on Obama’s Hands”
Amen.
Obama will have to answer to God one day for how he governed this nation (Psalm 110; Micah 3-4).
If Obama doesn’t repent - change course - he will be in for a rude awakening. Sad. I always pray for this man and his family.
Billy has a bent toward the Arminian gospel of free will and a seemingly unbiblical need to be “loved” by the unbelieving world. Son should have corrected father long ago...
The blood of the genocidal butchery of persons in the womb is on the hands of every pro-abortion (aka pro-choice) person in America, including the fifth-column media.
“Why did this fellows father back Bill & Hillary Clinton”
During a trip to the USSR Billy Graham declared that their was religious freedom there. Persecuted Christians (I believe Pentecostals) were rounded up so as to not cause an embarrassing scene.
Don’t know what you are driving at, but he sat with Bill & Hillary on a stage in the US. Declared his support for this murderous team, killers of babies, rapist and enabler. Either the man is so naïve as to be useless, or he is a chameleon needing public praise so he can “have a voice”. The Apostle Paul would have eaten him for lunch (re: Peter Galatians 1 & 2)
Obola already has the blood of many children on his hands - for promoting abortion and homosexuality.
Matthew 18:6-7 (NIV):
6 If anyone causes one of these little onesthose who believe in meto stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!
