The Dog that Didn't Bark
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 10:29 AM
Over at American Thinker, Ken Blackwell wonders why Planned Parenthood isn't pressuring Obama ...

The Obama administration is going to great pains to deny that abortion is in their health care plan. The President himself says he prefers not to be "distracted" by this question.

As a candidate, Barack Obama went before Planned Parenthood. This evil enterprise annually kills 350,000 unborn children in the U.S. Its international arm gives powerful support to killing more than 50 million unborn children around the world every year.

In seeking Planned Parenthood's support, candidate Obama pledged that "the first thing" he would do is to sign what sponsors call the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). This misnamed legislation is often deceptively described as "codifying Roe v. Wade." That's like saying the Germans overran Luxembourg in World War II. They did that -- but so very much more.

FOCA would strike down every protective bill ever passed in Congress or in the states, every bill that even modestly protects unborn human life. Partial-birth abortion would be de-criminalized. Waiting periods would be struck down. Parental notice would be banned. Funding restrictions would be overturned. Informed consent laws, laws mandating that young mothers be offered -- not forced -- the opportunity to see their unborn child on ultra-sound--all these good, wise, and humane laws would be swept away by FOCA.

Well, we know that as President, Obama has not yet signed FOCA. Congressional liberals have not even pressed hard to pass FOCA.

Instead, the President is giving his best effort to pass ObamaCare, which he assures us does not require taxpayers to support abortion-on-demand.

Back to the dog that didn't bark. So how come Planned Parenthood isn't barking?

"lightweight"
uh right cause wondering/speculating about things that arent' happening is so much more interesting than actual events...

aren't you in VA? And you've got nothing on the governor's race?

So much for "local politics."

"speculating about things that arent' happening is so much more interesting than actual events..." I have seen video of Planned Parenthood advising a young woman that has told the clinic worker that she is 14 I believe and her boyfriend is in his thirtys, the young girl was told how to avoid telling her parents, this is happening now, so much for"things not happening"

Barking dogs
Hmmmm, the conservative media is setting the criteria for Planned Parenthood's public statements?
