Obama Defends Planned Parenthood After Undercover Vids: ‘Manufactured’

If you ask President Obama about Live Action’s recent damning, undercover video showing questionable counsel at Planned Parenthood clinics, he might blow you off by saying the controversy is simply “manufactured.” That’s what he told a local NBC affiliate in Richmond, VA last week:
WWBT explains:
Pro-life politicians have often gone after the abortion provider, while pro-choice politicians like President Obama have rushed to its defense. In our exclusive interview, the President deflected the impact of the video sting.
“I think sometimes these issues get manufactured,“ he said ”they get a lot of attention in the blogosphere.” [...]
Meanwhile the President believes the group’s work speaks for itself.
“You know my bottom line is I think that Planned Parenthood in the past has done good work. If there was a specific problem at this center, it should be addressed, but we shouldn’t get so distracted with some of these issues.”
By the way, it seems the House of Representatives disagrees with the president. It voted on Friday to strip Planned Parenthood of it’s federal funding.

It’s the wanton murder of totally defenseless little babies, and the failure to uphold basic laws against rape that have people in a lather.

Second, how many of these stings must be performed and shown to the public before the lefties admit that it is a baby-killing operation that has no regard for laws and parameters that are set for safety sake. To help 14 year olds get abortions without reporting it or turning them back to their parents?!!!
And for Obama to defend them. You can even see the twisted look on his face when he talks about the one particular video – he is angry that they have been uncovered. Clearly he has an agenda. No one can deny that.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 7:02pmLloyd, you are so deluded. You say “The racist who founded Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was vehemently opposed to abortion.” That is a lie.
“In 1920 she wrote, “While there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization.” They were only a disgrace to her because of two reasons she promoted, one that they wouldn’t be happening if birth control was avaliable (obviously proven to be untrue since 1973), and two that the abortions were done in poor condititions because they weren’t legal.
“She also opposed involuntary sterilization,except for the “feeble-minded,” and hoped to improve America’s racial stock by severely limiting immigration–in her day, mainly from southern and eastern Europe.” Also untrue. She promoted involuntary sterilization, and was partly responsible for getting it made law in 31 states. To her, the “feeble-minded” and imbiciles were the blacks.
“She emphatically denounced Nazi racial policy, and rejected Nazi claims to be carrying on her work.” Bull. She only entertained such thoughts when it became a liability for her to continue her support of Nazi death policies.
You have Margaret Sanger as an angel. And it a way, that is true, a death angel.

What PP is doing is GOOD. It reduces cancer rates by screening for ovarian and mammarian cancer, it reduces unwanted pregnancies by handing out contraceptives to people who would otherwise be forced to use less reliable forms of birth control inevitably resulting in pregnancy at one point or another. How can you be against what PP does? It boggles the mind.

Still – the timing, for now, is suspect. I’m certain there will be a lot more information coming out on both sides. But like others here, I think that the value of this service should be determined in the private sector. As long as the debate continues about abortion, public money should not be used to fund this program. I am certain that like you, there are many out there who would give gladly for this service.

Why is the most important fact of this whole story being ignored by this website, fox, and other right-winged media? The fact that Planned Parenthood immediately contacted the FBI to warn them of a possible sex trafficking scheme that was going on. The FBI was contacted even before any of these tapes made it to the mainstream…So, why is everyone on fox, including beck, failing to mention this part of the story? Probably because it basically takes the wind out of the whole story. You can’t really be running asex trafficking operation after you immediately alert the FBI of what happened, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If what you said is true, about the PP contacting the FBI, then why didn’t anyone know about it until the videos came out?
Set Reason in her seat, Small Govt.
Planned Parenthood would not have been videotaped giving evidence if it had already discovered the sex trafficking operation and stopped it BEFORE it was captured on tape. No, the videos came out, and the FBI walked in on them. And, the House did the appropriate thing and defunded Planned Parenthood.
You said it yourself, “You can’t really be running a sex trafficking operation after you immediately alert the FBI of what happened, right?”

-I am by no means an elitist. I’m from Ohio where there are no “elitist”. I use the term “These People” to characterize the delusional and paranoid individuals that make up this fan base. And my username is small govt not small brain, it is small govt because the govt has no right to tell what options a woman has in regards to her body. That is govt. overreach at its fullest. and i thought we were all against that. right? So why is it ok for some 50yr old out of touch politician from the bible belt to decide how and where MILLIONS of low income/poor women get their necessary health check ups?? You guys who sit here and preach that Obama is intruding in their lives are hypocrites. Its ok for republicans to dictate HC to women but when Dems want HC reform its socialism….the level of hypocrisy is amazing. But this govt. overreach is ok because the bible says abortion is wrong, give me a friggin break. THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION GRANTS WOMEN THIS RIGHT. So why are you guys not following the constitution? Question, How many innocent people die every day due to hand guns? how about 81 people a day die due to handgun violence. But its our 2nd amendment right to bear arms. and god forbid if we place any restrictions on gun laws! its also a constitutional right for a woman to get an abortion. But, if you want to use the bible argument then fine, but keep in mind, the bible also prohibits people from planting the same crop next to each other, death if you work on sunday, and its also immoral to wear 2 different fabrics together…so why the selective reading???
-and when i use the word prophet, Im referring to glen beck and how you guys hang on to his every word and how you think hes some god like figure that is shedding light on the “truth”- Im not attacking the mormon religion,
-I think its funny that the GOP has once again diverted attention from the real issue of our country which is the economy and not abortion. You have to hand it to them, they are masterful at taking the attention from the real issues to something so irrelevant like PP. Is it because they know their base will eat this one up? Yes it is. When the gop has no intention on doing anything positive to tackle the real issue of jobs and the economy, they revert back to social issues to occupy the right wing base. They did it at the ballot box in 04 with gay marriage and now theyre doing it again with PP and abortion. We are at a serious cross roads financially and the gop’s main objective is to defund PP???? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! The gop is cutting their own throats on this one…they won the midterms because of the JOBS JOBS JOBS motto-and what have they done about jobs since then? NOTHING!

Your derogatory use of terms like “you people” is indicative of my charge. You just can’t explain your way out of that. You can lie and say it’s not what you are doing, but we are just intelligent enough to see right through that.
The government has a right to tell a woman what she must do with a baby. You say “this govt. overreach is ok because the bible says abortion is wrong, give me a friggin break. THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION GRANTS WOMEN THIS RIGHT.“ Please guide me to the words in the Constitution that grants anyone the ”right” to murder. You are quite wrong on this one. The Constitution says nothing of the sort. The Supreme Court said this. They also said that Blacks were not human. So we all know they can be very wrong. However, the point is lower your caps, there is no such right enumerated in our Constitution. If there were, you could quote it to me.
Your argument on guns is very lame. There is a right enumerated in the Constitution that says I have a right to bear arms. I can quote that to you if you like.
Then you try to switch to the Bible you not only don’t know much about, but apparently hate. You say “Keep in mind, the bible also prohibits people from planting the same crop next to each other, death if you work on sunday, and its also immoral to wear 2 different fabrics together.” Wow are you ignorant of the Bible. You should spend a little more time learning what the Bible actually says before you go making such a fool of yourself in the future.
And you did a fairly good job climbing out of that Mormon pit you put yourself in. You say “-and when i use the word prophet, Im referring to glen beck and how YOU GUYS hang on to his every word and how you think hes some god like figure that is shedding light on the “truth”- Im not attacking the mormon religion,” Except for your continued and most artificial disparaging of those you disagree with (You Guys).

You’re right, I am one of those midwestern elitist from ohio. Me and all my elitist friends drive around in our 94 ford explorers, dining at the classiest fast food establishments cleveland has to offer that “you people” will never experience, all while planning the most luxurious vacations on my 30,000 a year salary…I love how you try to make me seem like I think im better than you and anyone else here. You’re clearly reaching with the whole “you people” argument, its completely bogus.
Roe v. Wade was decided primarily on the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, as part of the Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court’s decision in the case was that the 9th Amendment, in stating that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,” protecting a person’s right to privacy. Abortion is protected under the 9th amendment. I can’t guide you to the words that grant the “right” to murder because its simply not there, “abortion is murder” is just your opinion, which you have every right to. Im not going to get into the whole embryo, fetus argument because I’m not trying to write a novel here. But in my opinion, I dont think removing something before a heartbeat develops is considered murder. I agree that anything after that 9 weeks should be met with some serious moral discussion between the woman and her family. its also important to look at cases of incest, rape, and saving the woman’s life. These are real things that happen to real people, in those situations, abortion is totally appropriate. I understand that people should be held accountable for their actions. I can’t begin to fathom that people who are pro-life can think about keeping a baby that was a result of rape or incest…There are so many factors to look at. On the other hand, if a woman gets pregnant from consensual sex and there are no potential health problems that can occur, then yes, a women should have the baby and take responsibility, that I agree with you.
How was my gun argument lame? I was pointing out the fact that you call abortion murder and I stated that 81 people are murdered every day in the US due to handguns. I think guns are a problem here, and you feel the same on abortion- I was showing how both are protected under the constitution but we do have the right to bear arms, and men and women have a right to privacy concerning their body, which includes a woman’s right to have an abortion if she thinks its necessary. You don’t have to like it, but you have to deal with it.
Report Post »How am I ignorant about the bible? are those passages not there? You can look them up: Exodus 35:1-3–Lev. 19:19—Deuteronomy 22:11…If you use the religious angle on abortion and(gay marriage for that matter) then why do you ignore a lot of other things that the bible denounces. Maybe because its silly?
i didnt pull myself out of anything with the prophet comment I explained how I used it to describe beck. but, like the “you people” argument, that was just another extreme and off base interpretation you had. The whole point I was making is that defunding PP is not what the people of this country want. They want jobs! It shows where the gop and their priorities are.

They are silent and will continue to be so. They are complicit with this type of sickening agenda. Because they are aware of the “big picture” at play here and won‘t speak out against it because it’s part of the leftist, socialist, radical left. And so are they…

These are both federal medicaid programs. PP gets money from the government to subsidize these service, puts patients on the medicaid and then charges the government…THEY are DOUBLE dipping!

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 4:12pm@pragmatica, Why do they need to do abortions to continue to provide these other fine services to low income people you speak of.
Our tax dollars pay the rent, pay the light bills, pay the staff of these abortion mills. I consider abortion murder. You may not agree with that position, but I am sure if you are a reasonable person, you can see why many like myself do. Extending that reasoning, if you have it, can you not understand the most emotional dislike of PP and for anyone who supports them? Vile is how we see PP, how we see abortion and how we see anyone who supports it. It is a modern day massacre and the future will condemn us rightly so for allowing it.
You may find the language of calling Pres. Obama a baby killer offensive, but from where I sit, its true beyond a measure of a doubt. He voted against the ciminalization of killing a baby that survived an abortion procedure. I have met at least 1 person who is such a survivor and she is most definatly a person. Obama had the most extreme voting record of any US Senator on the abortion issue. As a POTUS for him to take sides in this debate AT ALL is offensive far more than the language you claim objection to.

A pre-born baby is human by all science. It is innocent of any crimes. Taking it’s life is therefore murder. Do you believe it is right to take the life of an innocent baby?

Here’s how Planned Parenthood “manufactures these issues:”
“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, [Planned Parenthood president Cecile] 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.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 4:54pmOkay, here is my recollection of the chronology of events. The first video was released. Planned Parenthood stated emphatically that the video was a doctored lie. Another video was released. Planned Parenthood got together with other lefty organizations to try a media campaign to thwart the lying conservatives. More videos were released. Planned Parenthood said they had contacted the FBI, had fired one employee, and had started a “reeducation” campaign for all their employees. The House voted to pass a bill defunding Planned Parenthood.
If the lying conservatives who doctored videos did not have the good sense to video many such instances at a variety of PP locations, PP would have won the day by attacking the messenger with all their might. Trouble was, the lying conservatives who doctored videos were way ahead of them. Understand, this is not the first time a group has exposed such a pro-rape agenda in these left wingers.

Well, I say the woman has that choice. It’s her body and she can have whatever surgical, or other, procedure done to her body that she sees fit. You do not have the right to tell that woman what she can or can’t do to her body, whether it’s an abortion or politicians in control of her healthcare.
PP shouldn’t be taxpayer funded but abortions should still be legal.

It‘s the woman’s choice what she does to her body as long as it just effects her life. I also tend to look at it from a man’s legal point of view. The father doesn’t get a choice. He helped make the baby but if the woman decides to have it he is on the hook to pay for it whether he wants a choice or not. We believe in equal rights. If a woman can choose she doesn’t want it then a man should be able to choose also. So when the child is born, if that’s what she decides, he should not have to pay for it. At the birth he should have the option to say no…..the law does not support his rights. It is not equal protection under the law. So if he does not have the choice then she should not either.

The man is not the pregnant one. He does not have to go through 9 months of pregnancy and endure birth. If we develop far enough scientifically and biologically where we can transfer the fetus into the father, then we can give both parties equal protection under the law. Although he contributed the semen, he does not have to carry the fetus to term and give birth.
I still stand behind my stance that it is the womans body, not yours and not the government. It’s not even the husbands/boyfriends body. It’s hers and her alone.

Yes it is her body, but her decision effects the life she holds inside her and the father waiting out side. Just because nature opted for her to be the incubator does not mean that she, as in me since I am a woman, gets to just consider herself only. If we are giving a woman the power to opt out of pregnancy, we should also give the father of said child, who may or may not want as President Obama states “a mistake” the ability to opt out too. Why should the only choice to parenthood be the mothers. As a woman who believes abortion is morally wrong but accepts that it is the law of the land right now, I believe that the other person involved in this baby-making should have a choice on whether he wants a child. After-all, a mother can give the baby up for adoption should she not want to care for it. Where are the father’s or sperm-donors rights and choices?

“All of the undercover videos were filmed during the same week. The first one, released on Tuesday, focused on a clinic in central New Jersey. The New Jersey clinic employee captured on film was later fired for her behavior. Planned Parenthood said it notified both local and national authorities after the string of unusual visits, which occurred within one week in at least 12 centers in six states, including New Jersey and Virginia.”
So, as evidenced by PP itself, it only notified local and national authorities AFTER realizing there was some coordinated effort afoot, after “a string of unusual visits, AFTER the week was over, and ONLY when they smelled a rat. They were not asking the FBI to look into their business, they wanted the FBI to look into what appeared to be a coordinated attack. They were not being proactive nice guys, they were being reactive bad guys attempting to minimize the damage and stop the bleeding videos.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 6:40pm@ PRAGMATICA……the point HISTORYPAPER was trying to make in a hyperbole (exaggerating a point to emphasize as a literary device) is that black women based on percentages of the population are overwhelmingly more likely to be the recipient of an abortion (also Hispanic women) then white women. The president being half black you would think would be more apt to perhaps protect the black community that as a minority seems to be discriminated against and preyed upon by PP. But apparently, discrimination only seems to be important when talking about jobs not aborting babies. Protection from predatory companies seems only to count when the bad guys are on Wall Street, not on ghetto street.

But you’ve gotta be kidding me that this response negates further investigation by both the VA DHHR and professional bodies of ethical review. The last I read, Planned Parenthood was offering a “day of training” (and this is priceless) on April 1st. Oh, and it took the Live Action videos to prompt the FBI contact, so is that damage control or responsible administrating?
My stance on abortion is even though I won’t support it or defend it, I know it’s here to stay. To criminalize abortion would create numersous other health and incarceration problems we don’t need. My point to all of the prochoice crowd: Own you sacred cows and support them with more than just lip service. And when your sacred cow is revealed to be engaing in both illegal and unethical behavior, you can song and dance the issue as much as you want, but there comes a point whence you start looking foolish. As I’ve posted on other articles regarding these videos and Planned Parenthoods actions, other health care facilities and professionals would have their doors shut be out on the street.
So the best we can hope for in monitoring abortion providers is serendipity? That’s how Kermit Gosnell was exposed in PA… dumb luck. Who failed the people of PA? Their govt.

I believe once again abortion is morally wrong. I truly believe that those ARE the right choices for a man when faced with dealing or making a child. My point is that abortion isn’t only morally wrong it is legally unfair. A woman is given the ability to “opt” out of a pregnancy but according to the law a man has no such recourse. There is no equal protection under the law. The woman in the situation has options not given to a man due to gender. Since the law cannot find a way to be “fair and equal” it should not give the choice to either!

The states, not the federal government, should legislate the abortion issue on a local level in accordance with the majority will of its voters. No tax money should ever be used to provide elective abortions. If an individual desires an abortion, they are free to pay for it themselves. I do not think anyone should ever “elect” to get an abortion, but I do not feel qualified to tell them what to do. But I am free to stste that I do not want to pay for it.
If you want to know what the foundation of Planned Parenthood is, look up the Fabian Soceity and research the origins and founder of the organization.

A parasite??? Do you know what a parasite is? A fetus is an offspring, for crying out loud! He/she carries the mother’s DNA.
Tell me, why does a “fetus” suddenly become a “premature baby” when it is placed in an incubator? Isn’t it exactly the same human being, only in a different environment?
In case you forgot, no human being is self-sufficient from birth. In fact, most Dims never become self-sufficient. After they get too old for their mamas to take care of them, the government takes over. I guess if you look at it from that perspective, i.e., what a lib EVOLVES into, you can say they are indeed parasites.
