Former Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk turned down an invitation to the White House this week because of his pro-life stance.
“I would say that I have great respect for the office of the Presidency,” Birk told Minnesota’s KFAN-AM on Thursday. “But about five or six weeks ago, our president made a comment in a speech and he said, ‘God bless Planned Parenthood.'”
Birk, a Catholic, said his opposition to Planned Parenthood made it impossible for him to meet with the president.
