During last week\u2019s White House Summit on the United State of Women, President Barack Obama declared<\/a> that any country that does not allow abortion-on-demand \u201cwill not reach its potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven as we make progress at home, we look abroad and we know that any country that oppresses half the population \u2014 that doesn\u2019t let them go to school or work, and does not give them control over their own bodies \u2014 that\u2019s a society that will not work over the long term<\/em>,\u201d Obama said [emphasis added].<\/p>\n

LifeSiteNews notes the irony of the president placing such a high value on aborting preborn babies shortly after professing to \u201clove babies\u201d and recounting, \u201cwe\u2019ve been having a lot of babies, I\u2019ve noticed, in the White House \u2013 which I\u2019m happy about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The summit featured many pro-abortion speakers and presenters: Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, pro-abortion feminist icon Gloria Steinem, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health executive director Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, \u201cScandal\u201d creator Shonda Rhimes<\/a>, ex-MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry<\/a>, population control activist Chernor Bah, and others.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career<\/a>, Obama has consistently opposed every restriction on abortion, supported abortion-on-demand at virtually any stage of pregnancy at taxpayer expense, has refused to investigate Planned Parenthood\u2019s sale of parts from aborted babies and possible related crimes.<\/p>\n

Despite the president\u2019s insinuation that women cannot thrive without abortion, polling suggests<\/a> that just 11% of millennial women consider \u201cpreserving access to abortion\u201d the issue most important to them in 2016, that women believe abortion has a net harmful effect on them 56% to 31%, and that overall, women tend to be at least as pro-life as men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
