Planned Parenthood is out today with a statement praising President Barack Obama’s change of position on the issue of gay marriage. Within the statement, the nation’s biggest abortion business makes a curious connection, claiming abortion rights are on par with civil rights.
In praising Obama’s change of position, the abortion giant also praises him for standing for abortion, though it remains careful never to use the a-word.
“Planned Parenthood applauds President Obama for his historic announcement on marriage equality today. This president has been a steadfast ally for women’s reproductive health and rights and for the rights of all men and women to participate fully in society,” it says.
“Planned Parenthood believes that reproductive rights are deeply connected to civil rights for all Americans,” Planned Parenthood continues. “We have long stood with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the struggle for full equality — many of whom turn to Planned Parenthood for health care, information and education — and today we join LGBT communities to celebrate President Obama’s commitment to equality.”
