Why is Obama distancing
himself from Planned Parenthood?
Answer: Gosnel

reports a shocking development. President Obama was scheduled
to give the keynote address at Planned Parenthood’s “Time to Care” fundraising
gala in Washington DC tomorrow night, but just announced he is backing out of
the engagement, opting to speak to a much smaller, low-profile gathering of
Planned Parenthood supporters on Friday.
This is the first time
President Obama has put any distance whatsoever between himself and Planned
Parenthood or abortion writ large. He resisted cutting any government support
to Planned Parenthood in budget deals and has publicly promoted them, even to
the point of producing a public
service announcement telling everyone just how great the nation’s largest
abortion chain is.
Why Is Obama Really Ditching
Planned Parenthood?
One word: Gosnell.
This is the one moment
President Obama does not want his name seen in conjunction with abortion in any
way shape or form.
After last week’s pro-life tweet
fests that forced the mainstream media to reluctantly cover the Gosnell
trial, who hasn’t seen the photos
of those poor children with scissor wounds in the back of their neck? They’ve
been everywhere, and even many liberal commentators who support abortion
passionately have admitted
it’s made them think about things they’d rather not think about when it
comes to abortion.
What’s going on in every
abortion clinic is horrific.
Now is simply not the time
to have people thinking about President Obama and abortion in the same
sentence.
Planned Parenthood Has
Outlived Their Usefulness. For the
moment, he stands only to lose by publicly aligning himself with them, so he
simply won’t do it. He’s evolved into
realizing that right now, at least, there’s no political capital in supporting
abortion, so he won’t.
That’s not what moral
commitment looks like. If he truly believed that abortion was a fundamental
human right and necessary for women’s freedom he would be denouncing Gosnell
for doing it wrong and praising Planned Parenthood for doing it right. But he
doesn’t believe that.
He sticks to his moral
commitments as long as they work for him and not one second longer. And let’s
not forget that Planned Parenthood isn’t
doing it right.
