In an interview with an NBC affiliate in Richmond, VA, President Obama responded to the recent vote to defund Planned Parenthood after a flood of videos exposed illegal activities taking place at their clinics including exhibiting a willingness to support sex trafficking of minors, secret abortions for minors, and giving “pimp” discounts.
“I think sometimes these issues get manufactured,” [Obama] said “they get a lot of attention in the blogosphere.”
It’s not particularly surprising that Obama would defend Planned Parenthood. Obama is arguably the most pro-abortion president in American History. As a state Senator in Illinois, he continually stalled legislation that would have prevented doctors from killing babies outside of the womb based only on the “mother’s” desire to not be “punished” by having children.
In light of the videos, Obama was quoted by NBC as saying:
“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.”
“Good work” is of course relative to your understanding of the word “good,” however the “work” speaks for itself.
