Unless his intention is to radically change or convert President Barack Obama, when Pope Francis descends on America next month, he will in essence be paying open homage to the world’s top champion of partial birth abortion.
The pope will meet with Obama on Sept, 23 as part of his first trip to America as the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
“According to a White House statement released Thursday, the two leaders will discuss “their shared values” on issues such as “caring for the marginalized and poor,” the economy, the environment, religious freedom, and immigration. The two are scheduled to meet Sept. 23, the day before the pope’s unprecedented address to a joint session of Congress.” (CruxNow, March 26, 2015)
Will the pontiff and president talk about the continuing sale of aborted baby parts by government funded Planned Parenthood?
It’s not on the agenda.
The only time Obama talks about the baby-killing Planned Parenthood it is to promote it. Obama even wished the organization a rousing “God bless!” in an April 2013 speech to the organization.
“During his speech to the Planned Parenthood abortion business today, President Barack Obama asked God to bless the number one abortion performer in the United States. (LifeNews, April 26, 2013)
“Here is how he ended his speech:
“As long as we’ve got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way,” said Obama. “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”
For its part, the Vatican, piously pushing the ‘Thou shalt be good stewards of the environment’ angle, remains mum about the sale of baby parts on the open market by Planned Parenthood.
“The two men met for the first time in March, 2014, when Mr. Obama visited the pope at the Vatican. During that meeting, they discussed similar issues, as well as the conflict in Syria”. (New York Times, March 26, 2015)
In the fullness of time, we now know that the parlay of the pope and president did nothing to improve stability in Syria.
