I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s something that is beyond the pale of our political discussion. That&#8217;s a serious, legitimate issue. How we talk about it, making sure that we&#8217;re talking about it factually, accurately, and not demonizing organizations like Planned Parenthood, I think is important.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s by no means the most hyperbolic comment made by a pro-abortion leader so far, even if a more fair-minded president would have admitted Robert Lewis Dear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/contributions\/abortionists-and-planned-parenthood-shooter-are-just-two-sides-of-the-same-coin\/\">was a mentally disturbed individual with no history of interest in abortion<\/a>, which all but eviscerates the link between our rhetoric and his crimes. Let\u2019s also remind him that it\u2019s not \u201cdemonizing\u201d if <a href=\"\/news\/a-guide-to-how-planned-parenthood-is-breaking-the-law\/\">everything we&#8217;re saying about Planned Parenthood<\/a> is <a href=\"\/news\/salon-freaks-pro-lifers-holding-journalists-standards\/\">true<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But what Obama\u2019s comments lack in direct vitriol they more than make up in hypocrisy. Let\u2019s revisit some of the numerous occasions where Obama himself didn\u2019t think it was so important to make sure his abortion remarks weren\u2019t inaccurate or demonizing.<\/p>\n<p>First, the president <a href=\"\/news\/obama-pro-abortion-statements-mammogram-falsehoods\/\">said the following<\/a> during the second 2012 general election debate:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">You know a major difference in this campaign is that Governor Romney feels comfortable having politicians in Washington decide the health care choices that women are making.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That might not immediately seem outrageous\u2014\u201cdecide women\u2019s health care choices\u201d is how pro-abortion politicians always talk about pro-lifers\u2014until you realize <em>that\u2019s the point<\/em>. Despite being delivered in mild tones, the most routine mischaracterization of banning abortion is really a malicious slur in its own right. Since when is it civil or respectful to accuse someone of wanting to control people?<\/p>\n<p>Second, Obama\u2019s campaign organization has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%22war+on+women%22+site%3Abarackobama.com&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8\">infamously and incessantly used<\/a> \u201cWar on Women\u201d as a core campaign theme to describe the pro-life movement. If accusing large segments of the country of being so wildly sexist that their misogyny rises to the level of a \u201cwar\u201d isn\u2019t demonizing, then \u201cdemonizing\u201d has lost all meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Third, during the 2012 campaign Obama also <a href=\"\/news\/new-obama-ad-attacks-romney-for-abortion-opposition\/\">falsely claimed<\/a> that Mitt Romney wanted to ban abortion in cases of rape and incest, when in fact Romney had repeatedly said he would allow those exceptions. Repeating a line of attack long after it\u2019s been debunked isn\u2019t very factual or accurate, Mr. President.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, in July 2013, Obama <a href=\"\/news\/obama-vehemently-opposes-late-term-abortion-ban\/\">bitterly denounced<\/a> a proposed 20-week abortion ban:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and shows contempt for women\u2019s health and rights, the role doctors play in their patients\u2019 health care decisions, and the Constitution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cContempt for women\u2019s health and rights.\u201d More unadulterated malice toward people who commit the heinous sin of disagreeing with him on whether five months is more than enough time to get an abortion. That\u2019s what makes this one notable\u2014Obama isn\u2019t just demonizing general abortion opposition; he\u2019s spewing bile at resistance to his extremism on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, remember in October, when <a href=\"\/news\/obama-lectures-christians-inclusion-excluding-children-womb\/\">Obama said the following<\/a> in a New York Review of Books interview?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">How do you reconcile the idea of faith being really important to you and you caring a lot about taking faith seriously with the fact that, at least in our democracy and our civic discourse, it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Making wild generalizations that devout members of a particular religion are bigoted? You don\u2019t think that qualifies as inaccurate or demonizing, Mr. President?<\/p>\n<p>Sixth, Obama <a href=\"\/news\/obama-false-claim-planned-parenthood-provides-mammograms\/\">has<\/a> repeatedly <a href=\"\/news\/false-info-obama-admin-defends-planned-parenthood-because-of-mammograms\/\">claimed<\/a> over the years that defunding Planned Parenthood would deprive women of the critical mammogram services they offer\u2026 which Planned Parenthood <em>actually doesn\u2019t offer<\/em>. Really dropped the ball on \u201cmaking sure that we&#8217;re talking about it factually\u201d there. Not to mention the obvious demonizing effect of insinuating that people who disagree with you are putting women at risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, during the latest controversy over Planned Parenthood\u2019s federal funding, Obama said Republicans would be to blame for a government shutdown if they sent him a budget resolution that didn\u2019t fund Planned Parenthood and he chose not to sign it as a result (<a href=\"\/news\/will-obama-democrats-sacrifice-planned-parenthood-everything\/\">think about that<\/a>). He <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/obama-government-shutdown-over-planned-parenthood-not-good-sense\/\">said<\/a> they would be \u201cplay[ing] chicken with a $18 trillion economy\u201d and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2015\/sep\/5\/obama-already-blaming-republicans-potential-govern\/\">would<\/a> be \u201cwildly irresponsible,\u201d \u201churt working Americans,\u201d and show they don\u2019t \u201cwant to support working Americans.\u201d Never mind that he will be the one who chose to veto the government funding sitting right there on his desk.<\/p>\n<p>Obama is a two-faced demagogue who slings counterfactual demonization with the best of them when it suits him, then effortlessly shifts to pretending he\u2019s the adult in the room when it suits him to feign self-righteousness. And from pro-aborts\u2019 own standards about anti-abortion shootings, his constant smears about pro-lifers hating and hurting women should be just as culpable in inspiring <a href=\"\/news\/man-vandalizes-indiana-planned-parenthood-guess-who-takes-the-blame\/\">violence against pro-life activists<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He isn\u2019t, of course. Sane people are ultimately responsible for their own actions, and insane people are by definition driven more by their personal demons than rational causal links to the words of others. But the double-standard does further reinforce how little pro-aborts believe in their own stated principles\u2014and by extension, how little pro-lifers should let their guilt-tripping rattle us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When news first broke of last week&#8217;s shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood, our president faced a dilemma: use it to demonize pro-lifers, or use it to demonize gun supporters?
