For those that believe Barack Obama is Pro-Life, I challenge you to read through this post and then ask yourself if you still believe that he’s Pro-Life?
Obama’s public face about abortion is just one big lie. Out in public, debates, etc he puts on this “I don’t like abortion, I just want women to have their right to do it. I think we need to cut down on the number of abortions through prevention, education, etc, etc” — It SOUNDS “compassionate”.
But before the economy took it’s big plunge, he told Planned Parenthood, and this is recorded too– that his FIRST action as President would be to enact the Freedom of Choice Act– which WIPES OUT every single measure that DOES actually cut down on the number of abortions. He knew he could become the leader of the free world– and THE most important thing to him, the most pressing concern to him is lifting ANY and ALL restrictions on abortion???
Right now 36 states have parental notification laws— the Freedom of Choice Act would WIPE OUT a state’s right to require parental notification. So your 12 year old daughter could go get an abortion without your knowledge or consent. She needs consent to get a cavity filled. She needs consent to go on a school field trip. She needs consent to get a tattoo. But Obama thinks she should be able to get an abortion without mom or dad even knowing.
26 states have informed consent laws which provides someone seeking an abortion with MEDICAL information (not moral or religious counseling) about the present state of the baby, what the abortion process actually is and how it works. Doctors do that with ALL medical procedures. You go in to have a corn removed from your big toe and the doctor will explain to you what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it. They do that with ANY procedure. But pro-choicers want to say that in the case of an abortion, any “counseling” or “description” of the process is only to put undo pressure on the mother to not go through with it.). FOCA would WIPE OUT informed consent laws.
34 states have funding restrictions and do not allow tax payer dollars to fund abortions. So in those states, women on Medicaid and welfare women can’t have an abortion using my tax dollars. FOCA would wipe that out and give women and young girls of any age, without parental consent an abortion using taxpayer money.
26 states have late-term and partial-birth abortion bans. FOCA would ABOLISH these bans even though the Supreme Court JUST ruled last year to uphold a state’s right to ban partial-birth abortions. So women would be able to get an abortion no matter how far along the pregnancy is, and would be able to have a partial-birth abortion for ANY reason, health wouldn’t even be an issue.
45 states have Protection of Conscience Laws– these laws allow doctors the right to NOT perform an abortion if he/she has a moral objection. They also stop doctors from being sued for discrimination, and stop doctors, nurses, technicians, etc from being fired for refusing to perform abortions, assist in them, etc. Conscience Laws would be WIPED OUT with FOCA. So even though there are PLENTY of doctors who are perfectly willing to perform them, doctors who object to doing so would either be FORCED to perform them or face being fired and/or sued, or they’d be forced to quit in order to avoid being sued and/or fired.
Obama spews all these LIES about worrying about the health of the mother… give me a flipping break. The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control. Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest; 3% due to the mother’s health problems. And 1% because of fetal abnormalities.
And what does the health of the mother have to do with all of the above restrictions being taken off the law books? What does the health of the mother have ANYTHING to do with a doctor who morally objects to performing abortions? He’s going to MAKE doctors perform abortions JUST because their patients want one? A doctor can be sued, fired etc just because he says “Sorry, I don’t do abortions but you can go to Planned Parenthood or Dr. Smith”?
He doesn’t give one WHIT about the health of the mother– otherwise why would he want to allow doctors to be PUNISHED for not wanting to participate in one, when the woman can just go to any other doctor who will?
Obama wants to lift every single solitary measure that in ANY WAY limits abortions. So when he says “I’m personally against abortion, I think there should be fewer abortions, and I think we should do everything we can to reduce the number of abortions,”he is LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH. He’s doing EXACTLY the opposite. He’s wanting to GUARANTEE that anyone of any age, for any reason, at any time during the pregnancy can have access to free (read that: Taxpayer funded) abortions, and is willing to FORCE doctors, nurses, techs, etc to choose between their moral conscience and keeping their jobs.
So… do you still believe that Obama is Pro-Life?
