Perhaps because the Obama speech to Planned Parenthood coincided with Gosnell’s homicide trial, the president did not utter the word “abortion” once. But the timing notwithstanding, that omission was hardly surprising in an address that may have set a new standard for deliberate misrepresentation of reality.
For it requires willful moral blindness about reality to say that “what Planned Parenthood is about” is helping “a woman from Chicago named Courtney” make sure she could start a family, by providing “access to affordable contraceptive care to keep her healthy” in the face of a fertility-threatening disease. Today, President Obama noted to applause, “She’s got two beautiful kids. That’s what Planned Parenthood is about.”
About the millions of “beautiful kids” (many of them African-American) who were never born because of Planned Parenthood, the president of the United States had not a word to say. Not a word of remorse. Not a word of compassion, for either the slaughtered innocents of our time or the mothers suffering post-abortion trauma. Just a celebration of “your right to choose,” without the slightest moral pause over the question, “Choose what?”
But there was worse. For President Obama concluded his remarks as follows: “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you . . .”
And that is nothing short of blasphemy.
Too harsh? No. For in its discussion of this grave sin against the Second Commandment, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 2148) teaches that “it is also blasphemous to make use of God’s name to . . . reduce people to servitude, to torture persons or to put them to death.” That is precisely what happens in Planned Parenthood abortuaries. And on that, the president of the United States called down the divine blessing.
Pray for him. Pray for the United States, which is in very, very serious trouble.
It was an appalling speech that had the sole benefit of clarifying the last-ditch commitment of the present administration to the most open-ended abortion license possible. And it drew a line in the sand that those committed to the biblical view of the sanctity of human life cannot ignore—and must challenge.
right to life.
Sorry, I cannot pray for a man who has willingly given his spirit over to demonic empowerment. The only pray I could utter regarding Barack Obama would be for his utter and sudden distruction, so I just do not utter his name in prayers. ... Certainly America is in deep trouble, for we the people have handed our sovereignty over to criminals and evil doers. Our end will not be pretty since we have condoned the sacrifice of the alive unborn, for expediency.
Amen
Reminds me of the country song “I’ll Pray for You”.
Just saw this piece for the first time today.
Was it not shortly after this speech that the "scandals" began breaking like a river through a dam?
This is just the beginning. Obama is finished, and you can mark it. He will be reduced, before the watching world that once fainted before him, to excruciating humiliation -- such as begging with a tin cup or to eating grass with the cows like a madman.
It will be pitiful - so pitiful that even those of us who detest this sorry excuse for a human being will be moved to pray for him.
