For the first time in history a sitting President gives a speech to Planned Parenthood. Let the Right Wing freakout begin! Update!

President Obama spoke to nearly a thousand Planned Parenthood supporters Friday, telling them efforts to restrict abortion access across the country represented an effort to “turn back the clock” on women’s progress. 

“When you read about some of these laws, you want to check the calendar, you want to make sure you’re still living in 2013,” Obama told the crowd. 

In the past two months, four states — Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas and North Dakota — have adopted some of the most stringent restrictions on abortion in the nation, while Virginia has also imposed new rules on abortion providers by making them comply with hospital-style building standards. Lawmakers in 42 states have introduced legislation this year that would impose some kind of limits on access to abortions. 

Obama — the first sitting president to address the group in its nearly 100-year history – took aim at North Dakota’s law, which bans abortions as soon as a fetal heartbeat can be detected, at around six weeks. 

“A woman may not even know that she’s pregnant at six weeks,” he said. As long as Planned Parenthood and other groups have to fight to defend women’s reproductive rights, he added later, “you’ve also got a president who will be right there with you, fighting every step of the way.” 

In his speech, the president highlighted the fact that women visit Planned Parenthood clinics for routine health exams as well as reproductive services. The group is guided by the idea “that women should be able to make their own decisions about their own health,” he said. “It’s a simple principle.”

Of course just the IDEA that the President would speak to Planned Parenthood or support a woman's right to choose, flipped the Right Wing (And of course Sarah Palin) out.

But you conservatives keep right on attacking women, because that has certainly worked out well for you in the past.

And no, just because a hypocritical, anti-female woman like Sarah Palin is willing to attack Planned Parenthood on your behalf, does NOT give you cover. Most women hate that bitch's guts!
