Washington, D.C. — There was tremendous, albeit unintentional, cultural clarity in two late-term actions Joe Biden took before the end of his presidency. Call it the tale of two presidential medals of freedom.
Right before Thanksgiving, Biden awarded the medal, known as the United States’ highest civilian honor, to Cecile Richards. “With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom,” his related post on X proclaimed. Richards was a former president of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion business. (She died shortly after President Donald Trump was sworn in to his second term in office.) Freedom is often unattainable for young women, or girls, who wind up at abortion clinics (or at their local pharmacies, as most abortions are now chemical). For a woman in such a situation, every influence in her life might be pressuring her to end the life of her unborn child. Her reality is the antithesis of freedom, and Planned Parenthood is there to seal the deal.
