"God Bless Planned Parenthood!"...not.

Obama's speech at Planned Parenthood's national convention nearly had me in tears today. Not because it was so eloquent and powerful, but because it was disgusting. Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization dedicated to "promoting a commonsense approach to women's health and well-being, based on respect for each individual's right to make informed, independents decisions about health, sex, and family planning." The organization provides mammograms and contraception to those who can't afford it. Sounds nice, right? Well they also happen to provide abortions which they see as a woman's "right". it's also taxpayer funded to some extent.

So when Obama goes to their convention and praises Planned Parenthood for all their work and saying that those who don't support planned parenthood and abortions want to "turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s then the 21st century" I get upset. Obama is doing his best to make those who support a baby's right to life look like a bunch of morons living in the past. Obama never said the word "abortion" in he whole 12 minute address, but he used "right to choose" instead.

I think that a baby's right to life trumps a woman's right to choose any day  I get that you say "what about rape, or incest, or the mother's life?" My position is a bit more Conservative than some. If a woman get raped, I believe that the right thing to do would be to have the kid and either  keep it or give it up for adoption. I would be a hypocrite to say it's ok in cases of rape but not ok when the person doesn't feel "responsible" enough. I believe a baby is still losing it's life. In case of incest, you have to look at the risks. Even if the baby is born with a mental disorder many still go on to live good lives. But having the baby might affect the mother's life depending on what her age is. Now to the case of the mother's life. It is a choice then. She can die and let the baby live or the baby can die and she can live, it's not meant to be a easy decision though.

But the majority of abortions are not based on the examples given. Most involve a teenager or college student getting pregnant and they don't want a baby. They want to be able to choose when they have a baby and plan for it (hence "Planned Parenthood"). I say that if you don't want to have the baby DON'T GET PREGNANT. That is your right to choose. If you do get pregnant, take responsibility for your actions (or do we not do that anymore?). I know it's not always possible for someone that age to take care of a baby, but there is adoption and many programs that help with that.

Christian Organizations sometimes put counselors outside abortion clinics to try and show the women going in some other options. And it has proved to be effective. But in many cases these people are arrested or told to leave because of "harassment" even though tall they do is pass out pamphlets and talk to those who wish to talk. The Left-Wing media makes sure that abortion is praised, and that these stories are left out.

I don't like tax dollars going to an organization I view as immoral and we shouldn't be obligated to help fund them. I'm not trying to take anyone's rights away or stop women from getting health care, I simply believe an effort should be made to stand up for the rights of the unborn. Obama made reference to an Arizona law making it  illegal to have an abortion after 6 weeks of being pregnant saying it was stripping women of their rights. What about the baby's rights? In my opinion in most cases, abortion should is unconstitutional. And having a president praising and organization for performing abortions and even going so far as to say "God bless" it, just makes me sick.

"God Bless Planned Parenthood? no. God SAVE America? we can only hope and pray.
