Cecile Richards spoke at Georgetown University today. She got a standing ovation from students. From students that attend a Catholic institute of higher education. Got that? The president of the nation’s largest abortion provider got invited to speak at one of the country’s most prominent Catholic universities.
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is a ‘grave evil’ because it takes the life of an innocent human being. Planned Parenthood not only commits close to 900 abortions a day which equals more than 324,000 a year, but last summer they were exposed through undercover videos to have been involved in the buying and selling of baby body parts – the body parts of the babies they aborted.
Media was not allowed inside the building where Ms. Richards was speaking. But one of the students of the Georgetown Right to Life group live-tweeted the speech for all of us on the outside and interested to know what Cecile was telling students studying at a Catholic university.
For these brave pro-life students at Georgetown, we salute you. You are brave and courageous and unafraid of the hostile environment you are exposed to daily.
Here’s what happened inside of the room where Cecile Richards spoke today at Georgetown:

Cecile talking about how great Margaret Sanger is, clearly forgot how she was a proponent for eugenics and preventing growth of black pop.
