(JillStanek.com<\/a>) President Obama\u00a0has a long-standing, super close relationship with\u00a0Planned Parenthood, most clearly exemplified by his willingness\u00a0in 2011<\/a>\u00a0to shut down the federal government rather than allow the abortion giant to be defunded.<\/p>\n

Obama hasn\u2019t stopped with his own turf. He has also\u00a0blocked state efforts<\/a>\u00a0to defund Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0quid pro quo<\/em>\u00a0is obvious: Planned Parenthood\u00a0spends an inordinate amount of money<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0engages\u00a0its vast grassroots network to get pro-abortion candidates elected; then they as pro-abortion legislators hand\u00a0money back to Planned Parenthood, the most recent example being the\u00a0Obamacare<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>funding stream.<\/p>\n

The symbiotic relationship between Obama and Planned Parenthood goes back to\u00a0his days\u00a0as\u00a0Illinois\u00a0state senator, when\u00a0Obama conspired with\u00a0<\/strong>Illinois Planned Parenthood\u00a0<\/a>CEO Pam\u00a0<\/a>Sutherland<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>to block passage of both the state\u00a0Partial Birth Abortion Ban\u00a0and\u00a0Born Alive Protection Act.<\/p>\n

Now, in the face of the growing\u00a0Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal, the potential to strip Planned Parenthood of its\u00a0$528.4 million<\/a>\u00a0in federal\u00a0funding has never been more real.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If Planned Parenthood loses that funding, which accounts for 41% of its $1.3 billion budget, it will be severely hobbled, if it doesn\u2019t collapse altogether. It will certainly be in no position to help its political friends.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0as Planned Parenthood goes, so goes pro-abortion politicians.<\/p>\n

\"DefundAd-400b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So the stakes for\u00a0Democrats\u00a0are as high as the stakes for Planned Parenthood as the drumbeat for defunding grows louder.<\/p>\n

Which is why, as pro-abortion\u00a0Mother Jones\u00a0aptly put it<\/a>, \u201cPro-choicers are actually freaking out about these Planned Parenthood sting videos \u2013 And they should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, on cue, Obama included Planned Parenthood in a\u00a0July 24 video<\/a>\u00a0thanking enablers for keeping Obamacare afloat.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the shoutout, @POTUS<\/a>! We’re excited to help people enroll again starting on November 1! http:\/\/t.co\/26rxo0WO0K<\/a> #Obamacare<\/a><\/p>\n
