John Jalsevac, at LifeSiteNews, reports that Ravens’ center Matt Birk refused to meet with President Obama. Here’s why:
“About five or six weeks ago, our president made a comment in a speech and he said, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood,’” Birk told the radio station. “Planned Parenthood performs about 330,000 abortions a year. I am Catholic, I am active in the pro-life movement, and I just felt like I couldn’t deal with that."
The football star said that while he has "great respect for the office of the president," he "couldn't endorse" the president's support for the country's top abortion organization "in any way."
Mr. Jalsevac relates what Mr. Birk told the National Catholic Register:
If people were told the truth about abortion, no one would ever seek out the procedure. We hear about “choice” and “reproductive rights,” but no one is ever told by an abortionist, “I will kill your baby by ripping off its arms and legs.”
Matt Birk isn’t afraid to speak up for the innocent. Way to go.
