Barack Obama tells Congress to fund Planned Parenthood

US President Barack Obama told Congress in general, and Republicans specifically, to fund Planned Parenthood:
September 19, 2015
As Congress debates a spending bill that would strip away federal money from Planned Parenthood and could trigger a government shutdown, President Obama is weighing in on the funding battle.
“If Republicans want to help, they can choose, right now, to pass a budget that helps us grow our economy even faster, create jobs even faster, lift people’s incomes and prospects even faster,” Mr. Obama said in a video released Saturday. “But they’ve only got until the end of the month to do it – or they’ll shut down our government for the second time in two years.”
The president urged discussion on a spending bill but said that the real issues to focus on included education, job training and infrastructure problems — not, he said, “unrelated ideological issues like Planned Parenthood.”
“We need to set our sights higher than that,” Mr. Obama added.
The House voted Friday to block funds for the women’s health organization for one year, but it’s a bill that doesn’t have many legs to stand on in the Senate. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-to-congress-pass-a-budget-leave-planned-parenthood-alone/
I watched the short video. Barack Obama was basically saying that Republicans should adopt his spending agenda, which includes funding Planned Parenthood. He indicated that it will be the Republican party’s fault if the spending bill is not approved.
Perhaps I should add that in today’s video, Barack Obama touted his economic policies for various economic improvements in the USA economy–yet he failed to mention how greatly his Administration has added to the debt of the USA–an amount so high that it will contribute to the fall of the USA. Note: The USA was a net creditor before its states started to ‘legalize’ abortion, and now the USA is the largest debtor nation in the history of humanity–this will end in disaster per Habakkuk 2:6-8.
Planned Parenthood is in the baby killing business. Most abortions performed in the USA are at Planned Parenthood clinics. Despite accounting methods that act like the US government is not directly funding abortion, providing any funding to Planned Parenthood supports its murderous agenda.
Some Republicans have hoped the horrors of Planned Parenthood being involved in the sale of baby parts would be enough to get Planned Parenthood defunded.
As one who lives in the USA, I believe that Planned Parenthood should not receive government funding.
Notice that again that Barack Obama said, “We need to set our sights higher than that,” with ‘that’ being defunding Planned Parenthood.
Well, funding the US government to support a baby-killing organization is not a ‘higher’ purpose.
The Bible repeatedly warns against shedding innocent blood:
19 So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD (Deuteronomy 21:9).
16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
7 Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace (Isaiah 59:7-8).
3 Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place (Jeremiah 22:3).
17 “Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence” (Jeremiah 22:17).
Babies are innocent. Killing them is the shedding of innocent blood. It perhaps should be mentioned that American politicians like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have regularly defended Planned Parenthood. Here is a statement from former Obama Administration Secretary of State, now presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
September 19, 2015
After today’s House vote to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, Hillary Clinton took to twitter to adamantly defend taxpayer funding for the abortion company. As is typical, Clinton couched the support for Planned Parenthood in terms of women’s health, ignoring completely how it is the nation’s biggest abortion business. {Hillary Clinton ‘tweeted}:
Hillary Clinton ✔ @HillaryClinton
Cutting off Americans from lifesaving health care at Planned Parenthood is wrong. #standwithPP
Clinton, on Thursday, criticized Republican presidential candidates for their comments regarding Planned Parenthood in last night’s GOP debate. She said, “What this is about is that some of the Planned Parenthood facilities perform abortions, which is legal under the law. I think we ought to be very clear that Planned Parenthood has served to provide necessary healthcare for millions of women, and I think it deserves not only our support, but continuing funding from the federal government.” http://www.lifenews.com/2015/09/18/hillary-clinton-adamantly-defends-planned-parenthood-funding-after-house-votes-to-de-fund-it/
Planned Parenthood is NOT in the lifesaving business, but the baby killing business. More than ‘some’ Planned Parenthood clinics perform abortions, and those that don’t normally have an arrangement to point women to other facilities that do perform abortions.
Notice the following from the Bible:
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. (Proverbs 17:15)
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:20-21)
Killing babies through abortion is evil. Notice some warnings from the Bible about leaders who advocate wrong:
43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower (Deuteronomy 28:43).
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).
President Obama and Mrs. Clinton needs our prayers. The Apostle Paul wrote:
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4).
Without national repentance, the United States is doomed for destruction–and it may now be too late for that. The focus needs to be on turning to the God of the Bible and not simply on the hope that President Obama (or his replacement) will somehow stave off economic disaster for any number of years while ignoring the nation’s sins.
