“I have great respect for the office of the presidency but about five or six weeks ago, the president made a comment in a speech and he said, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood,’†Birk, a former Minnesota Viking, told a local Minnesota sports blog. “I’m very confused by [Obama's] statement,†he explained. “For God to bless a place where they’re ending 330,000 lives a year? I just chose not to attend.â€
Birk said he’s a pro-life Roman Catholic. “Planned Parenthood performs about 330,000 abortions a year,†he said. “I couldn’t endorse that in any way.â€
Good for you, Matt Birk!!

"We will preserve for our children (America), the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." -- Ronald Reagan.
