"Obama voices criticism of tough new abortion laws" by Peter Baker | New York Times, April 27, 2013
WASHINGTON — President Obama waded back into the nation’s volatile culture wars on Friday....
Obama was originally scheduled to address the group Thursday but had to postpone his appearance to attend a memorial service in Texas for firefighters killed in a fertilizer plant explosion. Rather than pass off the obligation to another member of his administration, Obama asked the group to let him come a day late so he could speak out on an issue that galvanizes his political base....
Why no mention of his planned visit to the library?
Abortion opponents have also drawn attention lately to the trial of a Philadelphia doctor charged with killing viable fetuses during abortions. Three of seven murder charges against the doctor, Kermit Gosnell, were thrown out by a judge this week, but the grisly details of the case have, in the view of abortion opponents, highlighted the moral questions underlying abortion in the United States.
Those are black babies, right?

Kind of gives you a peak into the elite mind.
An antiabortion group said a local Planned Parenthood group had been aware of complaints about Gosnell but did not intervene. The Philadelphia Daily News quoted the local group’s leader as saying that women had complained to the group about conditions at Gosnell’s clinic, and that the group would encourage them to report their complaints to the health department.
“President Obama blatantly ignored this inconvenient truth about the abortion industry’s horrific lack of oversight and disparaged the pro-life advocates who wake up each morning with the goal of saving the lives of unborn children, and women from the pain of abortion,’’ said Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an antiabortion group.
Bet you didn't know Susan B. was pro-life.
Obama did not mention the case but condemned lawmakers who have targeted Planned Parenthood.
“When politicians try to turn Planned Parenthood into a punching bag, they’re not just talking about you, they’re talking about the millions of women who you serve,’’ he told the group’s gathering, at a Washington hotel. ‘‘And when they talk about cutting off your funding, let’s be clear they’re talking about telling many of those women you’re on your own.’’
He pledged his loyalty to the group.
“You’ve also got a president,’’ he said, ‘‘who’s going to be right here with you fighting every step of the way.’’
You ladies don't really believe that, do you?

Maybe you need to get your health checked. Good thing you have to have Obamacare.
