Obama calls abortion survivor a "despicable liar"

Deal Hudson has the story over at Inside Catholic.

Kudos to one of the commentors who encouraged Deal to write the story!

Obama responded to Jessen's commercial with an ad of his own, dismissing it as "truly vile" and a "despicable lie." He wasn't the only one: Jonathan Martin, a reporter for Politico, called Jessen "a self-proclaimed abortion survivor." When Stanek produced the evidence of Jessen's claims, Politico removed Martin's slam.


Does my memory serve me correctly, is Jonathan Martin a priest? Whether he is or isn't, he is certainly a man in need of Bishop with a spine and testosterone. Lucky for him, there are too few around to pluck loose cannons from their bully pulpits.

She isn't concerned about the way Obama describes her ad. "I don't really care what he says. I know he voted four times against proper medical care for babies born alive. That's the kind of man he is." So how have people reacted to the commercial? "Some of [Obama's] supporters will be less than kind..."

The change we can believe in. The audacity of hope.
