Why is Obama running an ad for Planned Parenthood?

Why is Obama running an ad for Planned Parenthood?

I’m just kidding. I know why.

Below you will find an official video from the Barack Obama campaign. In it, Elizabeth Banks, a talented actress who’s been featured in movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin and The Hunger Games, offers viewers a litany of vacuous arguments defending Planned Parenthood from a host of non-existent threats.

For instance:

“These services that they provide — what is it? Ninety-five percent of them don’t involve anything controversial, so for that little 5 percent that Mitt Romney decides he doesn’t agree with, he’s going to take away cancer screenings? What is he doing? He’s going to take people’s access to health care close by? We’re talking about working-class ladies who need health care.”

Of course, Mitt Romney wants to ban cancer screenings! Haven’t you heard, he’s already knocking off the wives of unemployed  steel workers.

Then again, that controversial 5 percent happens to add up to approximately one of every 10  Planned Parenthood clients getting an abortion. The company’s 2008-2009 annual report says that it received $363.2 million in “Government grants and contracts.” And since those dollars are fungible, millions of taxpayers have contributed to a procedure they view as murder. If Elizabeth Banks thinks that the controversial 5 percent is threatening the existence of cancer screening, perhaps she should produce a new ad proposing the company cut that insignificant part of their business model.

Well, they already have a better business model, I suppose. Obama runs a commercial for an abortion clinic, the abortion clinic contributes to the Obama campaign and then the Obama administration funds the abortion clinic with taxpayer dollars. A special interest, I suppose.

Also, check out the tags on the Youtube page. You have “Elizabeth Banks” “Womens health” “self exam” “cancer” “screenings” “heavy flow” “obama2012” and so on …

…and then “roe wade versus abortion.” The controversial stuff is tagged, too.

Remember,  abortions should be rare but legal – and funded by you.

    “Obama runs a commercial for an abortion clinic, the abortion clinic
    contributes to the Obama campaign and then the Obama administration
    funds the abortion clinic with taxpayer dollars.”

    At least there is a certain logic to it. What can explain George Bush, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich voting to fund Planned Parenthood year after year, budget after budget? And worse, who can explain why Conservative Inc. called those people “conservatives” and “pro-life”? Ann Romney just wrote a check from her personal funds, which I guess is a plus from a taxpayer perspective.

  • terry1956

    Because Obama hates America so much he wants to murder more American babies plus he is also a control freak and wants to reduce the population of the world.

  • terry1956

    Why did the other vote for funding of Mass Murder Inc.?
    Because they did not have the skill set to go directly to the people about how the Democrats perfers not only to allow murdering of babies in the US but they want the US taxpayer to pay for it or risk up to 6 years in prison for ever year they the taxpayer refuses to pay for it.
    Plus If Republicans in Congress refuse to give money to Mass Murder Inc so it will be easier for that evil group to murder more babies the Democrats in Congress perfer that we all die because they refuse to fund defense otherwise.

  • terry1956

    Local Ale, those clearly are not the only good and ethical option the author has.
    Another would be to stay put and to point out to President Romney why he should not fund Mass Murder INC or go directly to the American people when the democrats threating to leave Americans defenseless if America does not fund the mass murder of American babies.

    He wants to support “Planned Parenthood” because he’s a ruthless, dehumanized, psychopathic killer. He’s simply following the dictates of his liberal worldview, which, for the sake of preserving itself and its diabolical imperatives, would murder all of humanity, if necessary. And all in the name of “freedom of choice.” How Orwellian is that?!
    Some conservatives think, and preach, that liberalism is a “mental disorder.” Let this act by Obama disabuse them of this fallacy. Liberalism is NOT a mental disorder; one cannot be held morally accountable for a mental disorder, any more than for heart disease or diabetes. But liberals are what they are by their own choice. Liberalism is a spiritual pathology, life-denying, dehumanizing, and in every sense, a form of latter-day barbarism. If implemented, it would cause humankind to devolve to the level of wild beasts. There can be no question of “peaceful coexistence” with it. Like most forms of barbarism, its adherents simply take what they want, by force, and destroy anything of value that’s left. Until this is clearly understood by all well-meaning, thoughtful citizens of this Republic, they will continue to succumb to liberal propaganda, to their own detriment and the demise of us all. Any country which not only sanctions an ongoing crime against humanity, but supports it, has lost its reason for being.

    Needless to say, none of this would matter to the bimbo Elizabeth Banks, who has the mentality of a giddy high-school girl. She follows Obama because people of her ilk will follow anything that moves, as long as it appears trendy.

  • TanongSak

    I don’t know, Dustoff. If and when people understand that the abortion culture is but an outgrowth of the culture of liberalism, and understand the real pathological nature of liberalism, then in due course their understanding will develop into a righteous anger, and a resolve to rid society of this pathology once and for all. By any means necessary. That time can’t come too soon to suit me. Nor is this a religious issue; it’s a moral issue, which touches every human being who would keep a grip on his humanity. There are many honests atheists who are opposed to abortion; they understand it to be the crime against humanity which it is.

    Obama is the Greatest American Child Abuser in history – murdering the unborn and the just born, destroying our children’s precious liberties which were paid for in blood, running up incredible fatal debt for our children to bear, and creating a Marxist hellhole where the greatest country in history once flourished. Trying to keep this marxist Pedophile’s hands out of your children’s shorts is going to require some effort by you. He is a psychopathic sadist.

  • tedthetruther

    I will no longer attend her movies. She is just another dumb Hollywood twit that thinks she should tell us how to live our lives and how our tax dollars need to be spen murdering babies! Total arrogance

  • toledojim

    The hypocracy of this adminsitration is just pathetic. I mean, lets face it, Obama has no use for the Constitution and he could care less about the Ten Commandments and would be perfectly happy if there was no religion at all. I think that’s the real problem with those on the far left they have no soul or the moral fiber to make decisions that are good for society in general. No matter how you say it murder is murder and if you decide to have an abortion thats you’re choice but don’t expect that I have to pay for it.

  • Danish0072001

    Did Ann Romney consult with you in writing that check or are you just making that up?

    I disagree regarding mental disorders and moral accountability.

    One cannot be held accountable for mental disorders that are caused by physiology. But most mental disorders are not caught like one catches a cold; they are chosen like one chooses an addiction. And while most addictions and mental disorders develop before the individual has the knowledge or power to affect them, the aware adult always has the power to recognize the pain, seek help, and apply the cure. This is why addicts in recovery will not excuse their behavior because they had no choice; they always have the choice to change and do differently this time.

    Most leftists do exhibit some sort of narcissistic personality disorder. Their ignorance is usually deliberate. They are both demented, and accountable.

    If Banks was so happy using Planned Parenthood for her medical issues and given birth control pills when she didn’t have insurance, then why has HHS mandated that ALL employers provide the same thing? Didn’t she just say that she didn’t want to involve her employer in this discussion that she prefers to have with her doctor?

    This is just more proof that this administration and its unelected czars have attacked our religious freedom and are taking us down the road to serfdom and bankruptcy..

    murder on demand he## no.

  • Dons621

    I think the clinics should be open 24/7 just think about all of the future Democratic Voters that will be eliminated!!!

  • Marlin208

    I think you would find a lot less abortions if they had to pay for it themselves. Just think, if they had to pay for birth control (which is what abortion is for) they would opt for the pill. It is a crime that I have to fund this with my tax money and a government that forces me to do that is not worth having.

    I heard Elizabeth Banks had sex with the entire Los Angelas Lakers basketball team and Barack Obama at one time.

    Biggest sin in America is self-godhood, people think they can tell God what to say and think and they decide life and death, soon coming to a end, you can bet your soul on it.

    “Obama runs a commercial for an abortion clinic, the abortion clinic contributes to the Obama campaign and then the Obama administration funds the abortion clinic with taxpayer dollars.”
    Exactly! Follow the money and/or follow the money and the ideology.

    I am pro-choice period. The problem I have is not wanting to pay for other people’s healthcare period. I already pay for an abused social security system in which people who are just plain lazy are on it along with their children and it is called Medicaid. That is what all illegals are on as well. I worked with a green card holder from Mexico and her husband was from Brazil and worked at a major airline and I still paid for her kids to be born! If you are black or illegal the only thing you have to pay for is — nothing!

  • Local_Ale

    I don’t understand the question. It’s well known Ann Romney donated to Planned Parenthood in 1994. What bothers me is writers for Conservative Inc actually pretending Romney or the GOP is somehow “pro-life.”

  • Hans

    No wonder! Kids are brainwashed by the Government from K through 12. Get rid of the TEACHERS Union and pay teachers IAW a Merit System. Fire all teachers who don’t cut it

    To me, it’s unbelievable that people actually listen to the Hollywooden Heads espouse their opinions, as most cannot get out of bed without a drug. They cannot stay married. They’re generally the first face you see every morning on the news for having been arrested the night before while under the influence or propositioning a member of their own sex for sex…who needs advice from these pathetic human beings? Oh yea, Obama and his thugs. That’s who.

    Some definitions
    ABORTION – The death of a baby performed by a person who swore an oath which states in part, “I will remember that I remain a member of society with special
    obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body
    as well as the infirm.”, done for a person who wishes not to be pregnant, but failed to take the precautions to prevent it and believes it is ok to kill the child growing within them.

    PRO-CHOICE – A person who believes, or a belief held that it is OK to kill a baby by ripping it from the mother’s womb, or letting it be partially born and removing it’s brain. This group generally consists of democrats, liberals, and those who vote for them.

    Hel! – The place where the above mentioned people will spend eternity.

    PRO-LIFE, or ANTI-ABORTIONIST – Members of society who believe it is a sin to kill the children they conceive, and are labeled as crackpots, uninformed, racist, and anti-women by those listed above.

    You make an excellent point. People usually are responsible for their choice to become addicted; and no doubt there’s an element of addiction in liberalism. How else can one explain their slavish adherence to it, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, and in defiance of logic. My intention was (and is) to point out that acceptance of liberalism involves a deep spiritual pathology, which can’t be explained by or reduced to the language of physiology, psychology, or any other hard (or soft) science. And when one’s spirit is so depraved as to embrace such a pathology, one is and should be held fully accountable. To explore the spiritual dimension of this, one must go back to the fundamantals of ontology: “what does it mean to be a human being?” This is not an easy question to answer. The problem is that most people don’t even want to be bothered with such things; they spend their entire lives in a state of distraction, i.e., wrapped up or absorbed in mundane affairs. I submit that if everyone asked this question, such things as the Holocaust could never have happened.

  • TanongSak

    Thank you for your reply. But I don’t recommend that people listen to me. Much better to open the pages of Scripture, and listen to an infalllible source. It is, after all, God’s take on the human condition (among other things).

    Why is Obama running an ad for Planned Parenthood?…if you have to ask, you’re too clueless and ignorant to be writing columns for Human Events !
