We cannot live by double standard

To the editor:
President Barack Obama commenting on the shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood, made these statements on Nov. 28: 'This is not normal. We can't let it become normal. If we truly care about this then we're going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.”
My prayers go out to the victims and their families and friends and everyone touched by this tragedy. Mr. President, enough is enough, and we cannot let this type of behavior become normal.
We also need to do something about the easy accessibility of the 'weapons of war” utilized in Planned Parenthood facilities every day to destroy tiny innocent babies in abortions. We cannot allow this to be normal behavior. In addition, you and the Democrats in Washington need to stop investigating the 'whistle blowers” who have proved that Planned Parenthood destroys these tiny babies and provides the baby parts to facilities for research and medical purposes, and instead direct your investigation toward what Planned Parenthood is doing wrong.
We cannot continue to live by this double standard.
