Planned Parenthood Praises House Vote on Obamacare & Stupak's Stupidity
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, March 22, 2010, 5:55 PM
Planned Parenthood praised the pro-abortion nationalized health care bill that will allow for taxpayer-funded abortions. They also praised Rep. Bart Stupak for his stupidity.
Life News reported:
Planned Parenthood called the pro-abortion health care bill the House approved late Sunday night a victory and applauded the financial windfall is expected to reap as a result. The abortion business also dismissed the executive order President Barack Obama promised Congressman Bart Stupak as harmless.
“For more than a year, Planned Parenthood has worked tirelessly for a health care” bill, its president Cecile Richards said in a statement today. “It’s a huge victory for women’s health, but our work isn’t over yet.”
With passage of the legislation, “monumental progress was made toward achieving these goals.”
Richard dismissed the executive order, which has been slammed by pro-life groups, as a “a symbolic gesture … to anti-choice Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI), which has diverted attention from the central goal.”
“Planned Parenthood is also extremely pleased that members of the House listened to the millions of women and men who expressed their strong opposition to the Stupak abortion ban. Stopping the Stupak ban was a high priority,” she said. “It was a tough fight, but we salute Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D- CA), Congressman Rosa DeLauro (D–CT) , members of the House Pro-Choice Caucus.”
Despite Stupak’s contention that the executive order would implement his abortion funding ban, Richards says that’s not the case.
‘What the president’s executive order did not do is include the complete and total ban … that Congressman Bart Stupak (D–MI) had insisted upon,” Richards said. “So while we regret that this proposed Executive Order has given the imprimatur of the president to Senator Nelson’s language, it is critically important to note that it does not include the Stupak abortion ban.”
“Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to keep the Stupak abortion ban out of the final legislation and President Obama did not include the Stupak language in his Executive Order,” Richards admitted.

The media/propaganda ministry will be surprised by this.
I’m not doing it! I’m not paying for your damned abortions even under threat of imprisonment. I don’t recognize these illegitimate tyrants.

In the future, GP, please post any images of Obummer “under the fold” as his mere image gags me and makes me wanna vomit. (Ovomit = Obummer)
Richard Romano commented:
And this very post explodes that lefty troll “Thinking Man’s” ridiculous defense of Stupak and the EO.
Stupak is a fraud — and I hope and pray his constituents hold him accountable in Nov.
kato commented:
A few weeks ago, the Salem Broadcasting crew was holding up Stupak as a moral paragon. That just shows how clueless these cartoon-conservative radio hucksters are. This guy’s vote was in the bag even before Kucinich’s was. Does anyone really believe that an empty promise from a pro-abortion liar really convinced Stupak to change his mind?
shibumi commented:
So, does this now mean that Catholic hospitals will be obligated to perform abortions? And if so, what will the Church do?
Robert commented:
Hard to imagine a more vivid betrayal than this,
aided by a deceptive executive order from Obama.
Joanne commented:
Planned Parenthood is all happy because abortions will be paid for, like they ever weren’t going to be. They are truly evil people who relish in the murder of the unborn – God will judge them……I hope they enjoy the hell fire.

Rep. Stupek has exposed himself for the fraud
he personally is. The Democratic party has been on a search and destroy mission for pro-life sympathizers for some time. He has played right into their plans. Get the vote, purge the voter.
Consider yourself purged.

Good question, shibumi, although I would suspect that the church will not do much. Note their late cavalry charge into the fray. I suspect that pro-life will take a back seat to social justice issues, even though life is the first item of Catholic social teaching. I put a call into Cardinal Francis George, president of the Council of Catholic Bishops, no answer yet. Same for Brad Ellsworth’s pastor. I would suggest others make phone calls and ask questions. I would be interested if anyone gets an answer.
Steve B commented:
This doesn’t “ban abortion.” It would ban federal FUNDING of abortion. But that’s not nearly so caustic a soundbite, it is?
Disengenuous turds that they are.
LIEberals.
