Controversial when a politician says it… not so controversial when NFL players are coming out of their shells:
“I have great respect for the office of the presidency but about five or six weeks ago, our president made a comment in a speech and he said, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood,’” Birk, a former Minnesota Viking, told a local Minnesota sports blog. “I’m very confused by [Obama’s] statement,” he explained. “”For God to bless a place where they’re ending 330,000 lives a year? I just chose not to attend.”
Kirk said he’s a pro-life Roman Catholic. “Planned Parenthood performs about 330,000 abortions a year,” he said. “I couldn’t endorse that in any way.”
Planned Parenthood is a despicable organization the preys on women and destroys lives. How modern politicians continue to actively court (and take the money of) such an organization baffles me.
Read the rest over at the Washington Examiner. Three cheers for Matt Birk for standing up for his Catholic faith.
