Washington, D.C. (7 January 2009) – 2008 was a down year for the pro-abortion movement's talking heads. As you read the quotes below, despite the seriousness of the subject – after all, we are talking about matters of life and death – it's hard not to laugh at their ridiculous attempts to justify their position.
1) NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT!
Dear leader, President-elect Barack Obama at a town-hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in March:
“Look, I got two daughters – 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Comment: President-elect Obama demonstrates his disdain for the sanctity of preborn babies by stating that children are “punishments” instead of miracles and blessings.
President-elect Barack Obama answers Pastor Rick Warren’s question “At what point does a baby get human rights?” at a Saddleback Church interview:
“Answering that question with specificity is above my pay grade.”
Comment: The future president will swear to uphold and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights – hard to do when you can’t decide who gets rights and who doesn’t because it’s above your “pay grade.”
3) DATE-NIGHT OPTIONS: DINNER? DANCING? ABORTION?

“Nobody should be able to say what you can do with your body,” Biel told cheering crowds at Last Chance for Change, a rally endorsing presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. "I give Jess the right to choose where we go to eat all the time," Timberlake added.
Comment: Just when we start to have a sliver of respect for our Hollywood elite, they say something like this. Justin sees no difference between choosing where to eat or which child to kill.
4) KILLING BLACK BABIES – 'UNDERSTANDABLE, UNDERSTANDABLE'
Planned Parenthood of Idaho – A Live Action Films exposé video exposed Planned Parenthood’s deep-rooted racism. A caller posed as a potential donor and the following conversation ensued:
Actor: I want to specify that abortion to help a minority group, would that be possible?
Planned Parenthood employee: Absolutely.
Actor: Like the black community for example?
Planned Parenthood employee: Certainly.
Actor: The abortion – I can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose?
Planned Parenthood employee: Absolutely. If you wanted to designate that your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we would certainly make sure that the gift was earmarked for that purpose.
Actor: Great, because I really faced trouble with affirmative action, and I don’t want my kids to be disadvantaged against black kids. I just had a baby; I want to put it in his name.
Planned Parenthood employee: Yes, absolutely.
Actor: And we don’t, you know we just think, the less black kids out there the better.
Planned Parenthood employee (laughing): Understandable, understandable.
Comment – The apple doesn’t fall far. Planned Parenthood hasn’t strayed much since the days of its racist founder Margaret Sanger, who once spoke to a Ku Klux Klan group and was a member of the American Eugenics Society.
Ca. Rep. Nancy Pelosi in a television interview with NBC’s Tom Brokaw:
Tom Brokaw: Madame speaker, when does life begin?
Rep. Pelosi: As an ardent, practicing Catholic …I don’t think anybody can tell you when life begins.
Comment: That’s like saying, “As a vegan, I would like my steak medium rare.”
6) BEING 'PRO-CURE' IS BEING PRO-LIFE! … EVEN IF WE HAVE TO CANNIBALIZE PREBORN CHILDREN FOR IT
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm in support of Proposition 2, a bill that now allows embryonic stem cell research:
“As a Catholic, I can say to be pro-cure is to be pro-life.”
Comment: What about this statement is Catholic? Not a thing.
7) FIVE-FINGERED DISCOUNT FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD C.E.O.
PP C.E.O. Miriam Inocencio
Despite a six-digit salary drawn from Planned Parenthood’s tax- and abortion-gorged pockets, Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island CEO Miriam Inocencio must have really liked that Macy’s blouse!
Comment: Clearly her day job – helping to kill preborn babies – has affected her moral judgment. If Miriam is hurting for cash, perhaps we can redirect some of Planned Parenthood's extra Title X taxpayer funding her way?
Comedian Doug Stanhope
These are not empty words. I, Doug Stanhope, am offering you, Bristol Palin, the sum of $25,000 so that you can abort your child and move out of that draconian home. I have also set up a PayPal link so that others around the world can help increase this amount to ease the burden of starting out on your own at such an early age.
Comment: We love it when pro-abortion radicals show their true colors. Stanhope can’t fathom why a young couple would actually want their baby. Nope. Clearly, Bristol doesn’t need love and compassion – she needs $25,000!
9) MORE THAN WE CAN SAY FOR SOME POLITICIANS
South Carolina Democrat chair Carol Fowler
Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Comment: South Carolinians overwhelmingly voted for the Palin ticket. That’s got to hurt, Fowler.
10) KEEP IT CLASSY, OLD BOY
Comedian Bill Maher
Refers to Sarah Palin’s Down syndrome baby as “it” three times in a monologue citing why she isn’t qualified to be vice president and then ends with “Does anyone in that party understand the concept of pulling out?”
Comment: What can we say, really? We’ll just let Maher condemn himself.
