Dilema on the Left over planned parenthood

Meet Daniel (Dan) Bongino

In yet another political surrender, Republican leadership is signaling that they aren't willing to stand up against the butchery of unborn children for profit and follow through with efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.

I have followed politics for a long time, but I have never seen an abdication of morals, ethics, leadership and strategy as misguided as the decision to duck the fight against Planned Parenthood's butchery.

This is such a crystal clear case of right and wrong that even the power-obsessed, DC insider class should be able to choose wisely. But sadly, many haven't.

The decision to duck the Planned Parenthood fight is not only a tragic moral failure but a failure of strategy as well.

If President Obama chooses to shut down the government because he insists on using your money to fund infant organ harvesting and trafficking at Planned Parenthood, then the media coverage will not be a strategic bonus. The media will not be his ally in that selfish fight because the Left desperately wants to avoid having any conversation about abortion that exposes what the abortion procedure actually entails.

Even the biased, left-wing media cannot avoid some extremely uncomfortable language if they are forced to talk about what President Obama is defending in order to shut down the government. Using terms like "alleged" in front of "organ harvesting" or "organ trafficking" will not lend the moral "cover" the media typically provides for Democrats during a government shutdown, because the public isn't stupid.

When tens of thousands of people who have never heard of the Planned Parenthood organ trafficking horror (because the media has refused to cover it), start Googling the story, this will be a messaging disaster for Democrats.

This is an unusual position for the Democratic Party to be in because, during any government shutdown, the mainstream media will do its best to cover for their political allies in the Democratic Party, and lay blame with the GOP.
