This is the first of many, I am sure, posts about the horrible things our new president is doing. I sent a short e-mail to the White House regarding abortions and my tax money funding foreign abortions. I'm sure it won't change anything but it's all we can do, and it certainly won't hurt. Click on the link at the end of the article, or title to write to the White House.

Barack Obama OK’s Taxpayer Funds for Overseas Abortions
Lifenews.com reports: "Putting aside the pro-abortion appointments to key administration and policy positions, the pro-abortion record of new president Barack Obama will begin in earnest later today. That's when he will officially scrap the Mexico City Policy that stops funding groups that promote or perform abortions overseas.
"Obama was slated to overturn on Thursday the protections President Bush put back in place following the Clinton administration, but Obama decided to wait.
"He hopes making his decision today to force taxpayers to fund foreign abortions will somehow make him seem less radical because he decided to wait until after the pro-life movement mourned the thirty-sixth anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
"Obama will sign an executive order that will make non-governmental groups that do abortions in other nations or lobby pro-life countries to overturn their abortion limits eligible for public funds.
"During the Bush administration, such groups were prevented from receiving the family planning money or any aid through the State Department, if they would not back down from their pro-abortion agenda.
"The two biggest abortion businesses in the world, the U.S.-based Planned Parenthood and the British-based Marie Stopes International, refused to stop doing abortions or trying to get nations to abandon their pro-life culture and heritage and refused to follow the pro-life rules and accept the funds.
"Now, taxpayers will fund those abortion businesses and their abortion marketing campaigns despite Obama's campaign pledge to want to reduce abortions.
Yesterday on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, President Obama reiterated his support for abortion issuing a statement that said, "I remain committed to protecting a woman's right to choose." During his campaign he voiced support for passage of a Freedom of Choice Act, which could roll back three decades of work putting some restrictions on abortion.
"The alignment of a hard-core pro-abortion president with pro-abortion Democratic majorities in Congress means that many existing pro-life policies are now in great jeopardy," Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee wrote in a memo this month.
"Some damage is inevitable," Johnson added. "But the extent to which the Obama abortion agenda will be achieved will depend on the perception of elected policy-makers as to how the public is responding to the proposed changes."

yeah, this makes me sick! this is horrible. i was listening to dr.laura schlessinger today and she said the same thing that it is terrible and disgusting! i will write and give my two cents but i know it probably won't make a difference. shame on obama!!
ReplyDeleteIt was clear to me, what substance the newly elected President was made up of, but Juliet, shame on Obama is the tip of the iceberg, I say shame on the Americans that voted him into office, knowing full well, his beliefs and what he stands for. His third day in office, and already the turmoil begins.
ReplyDeletePrecisely why I did not vote for him. Morals and values are far more important than color of skin or an individuals public speaking ability. It's sickening to think that abortion and killing innocent babies was top of his agenda as the new president.
ReplyDeleteI gave him my two-cents. It's too bad they limit you to 500 characters because I could have said more!
