FOCA in Focus

[HolyknightVader999]

It's hilarious how the first black president is helping the death of black children.

[chase82]

"I will not yield"! Well they're going to be defunded for a start so get that through your head you ugly dictator!!!

[wrestlingwomanfan]

I am a licensed therapist that specializes in teens and believe me nothing will be fine after a young lady had an abortion. I have had clients that have come to me complaining of guilt, crying for hours, and terrible nightmares. How do you justify this? Abortion has to be stopped.

[wrestlingwomanfan]

Liberals and Planned Parenthood give me nightmares

[juliewashere88]

How can you seriously pretend to have the moral high ground when you're so eager to lie for your position?

[92jpc]

If the FOCA becomes law, our nation will become a pro-abortion dictatorship. It is hard to imagine what is like if the FOCA becomes law. Planned Parenthood must be stoped.

[themanofearth]

It's so much fun when prolifers lie in order to scare people so their aims can be supported and justified.

[ewingist]

i dont understand how this is freedom of choice. to me it seems that all it would do is make kids think that abortion is birthcontrol and make abortion a 100% uninformed choice. we need more regulations on abortion, having none at all makes no sense

[pmtj9876]

that shit is murder

[stopbabykilling]

I want Reagan back :(

[bella50008]

Me Too!!!!

[OhKellyBabyxo]

Obama, im just glad that everything this world and this country is going through, that FOCA is the first thing your going to do for America! wtf? work on more important things first then your desire to get rid of babies

[TeeLuvsEire]

Exactly !!! Like get over your crazy obssession Mr. President. Everyone knows thats all hes been talking about lately. Idiot . Like genocide will help improve America. Parents wont even know if their kids are out geting abortions !! THATS CRAZY STUFF !!! That would NEVER happen in Ireland. That crazy ass law would NEVER get passed.

[rfifeblogger]

I live in Illinois, and their FOCA bill got defeated, which I am so thankful for.

Try getting around that, Planned Parenthood and Barack Hussein Obama!

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Thanks to the Rosary, and our Lady, FOCA did not get signed.

[SNUFFsurgeryNEWS]

My, my. PPhood is really wizzing gasoline on the flames of The Pit. Oh, must they like it THAT hot?

[aviloud]

voting against laws that would protect infants that survived abortions? WHAT THE FUCK?! you must be kidding me. first of all, you can't survive an abortion, secondly, abortions are allowed until the 3rd trimester, and until then the "infant" is still a fetus. they don't even have a developed conscience yet, or the ability to feel pain...so how exactly can you call them infants when they aren't developed enough to live outside the womb?

[tomaszzekg]

'you can't survive an abortion' - you're wrong my friend, I suggest you do some reading..

[aviloud]

surviving an abortion would be like surviving getting killed. an abortion is the termination of a fetus. i'd say the only person who could survive an abortion would be chuck norris.

[ariaane]

No, Giaana Gessen, a woman who isnt into martial arts, survived abortion.

Do a youtube search for her!

[Albyiscool]

you're an idiot

[kidcova]

There are babies that do survive a failed abortion. I have seen a lady name Gianna Jessen who survied. Her 17yr mother @ 7.5 months pregnant had a "saline-salt abortion" injected in the womb to burn the baby inside & out. After 24 hrs the mother goes back to the clinic to deliver a DEAD baby, but instead dead an ALIVE baby is born. Do a YouTube on Gianna Jessen. Abortions are LEAGAL for all 9 months for any reason.

[aviloud]

roe v wade protects the fetuses from getting abortions after the third trimester, this is when the neocortex develops, and the conscience is formed.

[psykkodukk]

"Abortions are LEAGAL for all 9 months for any reason. "

On what planet?

[ariaane]

Contrary to popular belief, abortion is legal for all 9 months in the US.

This was news to me, up until recently.

[kcdenton531]

Our planet. It's called Partial Birth abortion, google it and you will be disgusted at what they do to children that are 32 34 36 and even 40 weeks old. They kill them and think because of how they do it it's not murder, but it is every much murder as you or I walking up to someone and stabbing them in the head and killing them.

[Palmoni44]

This is due to him dening the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Read it, and then tell me why anyone with a heart wouldn't sign it. Hilary Clinton and Ted Kennedy did!

[adriandominicansiste]

Babies do survive abortion. At 10 weeks a baby has a sense of touch and feels pain. At 12 weeks a baby can smile, suck her/his thumb

[kcdenton531]

first of all you can and there are several infants that survive abortions. second abortions are legal in some places up to the day the child is born. third the CHILD is a human being the day it is conceived, studies have proven that these children can feel as soon as 8 weeks after conception. third, a CHILD can and have survived outside of the womb as early as 22 weeks, So aviloud, you need to do a little more research on abortion before you go off saying things that you know nothing about.

[ariaane]

Yes, people like Giaana Gessen survived abortion and has lived to tell her tail.

She now has a mild case of celebral palsy.

[artgoat]

There is NO SUCH BILL as "FOCA" This is a hoax that the gullible right wing has bought into, hook, line and sinker.

[Raid3rnation1]

OK, so what is this "Freedom of Choice Act" that Obama said he'd sign? Was he making it up?

[dwaincur]

Goat is regurgitating a Time Magazine article published 2/19/09 "The Catholic Crusade Against a Mythical Abortion Bill." The title is misleading as the article describes when FOCA was introduced in the 108th and 110th Congresses. FOCA isn't a myth. It just hasn't been introduced to the 111th.

[artgoat]

Yes, it was submitted twice. It died in committee. It never made it to the floor, and it was never voted on by EITHER house. IF it was legislation what's this bill's identification number? It never had one. Obama cannot sign a bill that has not made it through Congress. Lots of silly bills without a snowball's chance of becoming legislation die in committee (including total abortion bans). Mark me down if it makes you feel superior, but you DO look foolish wailing about imaginary laws.

[gfrabizi]

it's the potential that makes people wild, doesnt matter if it is currently established or not, the danger is still real

[artgoat]

I understand completely. I am the same in that the idea of a christian version of the Taliban gaining ever-increasing power in the USA scares the hell out of me.

[gfrabizi]

like in that stupid response about nazis taking over USA with a gun & Bible. I understand how this may fear someone. I think the most we fear is what we do not. see if we are so afraid of the extremist right, how do we realize the extremist left? USA has already moved so much into socialism, and now big govt. is on the rise

[artgoat]

I never mentioned nazis, and never mentioned guns. See, this is what I was talking about in my initial post--raising the battle flag and marching against figments of your imagination as though they were real. Thanks for making my point for me.

[gfrabizi]

I didnt want it to appears as if you said it, I was mintioning a common response among people who fear religion for stupid reasons.

[ariaane]

I know that you've been heavily indoctrinated in school, but the US is slanted to the left more than to the right.

Your Mainstream media is dominated by liberals, bar Fox News.

Your economic system is steeped in socialism.

If anyone has anything to fear, it is those who are conservative, moderate and libertarian, and the target of their fear is the ENORMOUS government that Bush advanced and Obama is inflating day by day.

[Palmoni44]

FOCA is taxation without representation!

[fatexlivesxon]

GO YOU! abortions are dirty and wrong. they kill babies. what more proof do you need???

[ccbryan]

2nd:

And isn't "family planning" actually ANTI-family planning? Take responsibility for you actions! There are plenty of healthy alternatives to ending an INNOCENT life, such as condoms, birth control, or how about adoption?! Oh, here's the biggest one... how about ABSTINENCE!!!

Remember that baby could grow up and discover a cure for cancer, AIDS, or maybe even the next PRESIDENT! They could change the world in unimaginable ways....and think SOME would deny those children of that!

[ccbryan]

First:

What does killing an inconvenience, uh, I mean a BABY, have anything to do with the so called "freedom of CHOICE" ? Or for that matter what does it have to do with so called "family planning"? They're BOTH contradictions in terms.

Choice IS an important and precious thing to have, but aborting a innocent life is denying that child, a person to be, an opportunity to make a choice of their own!

[detachedlegs2]

On the issue of ABORTION Obama, not issue of choice.

[katdanmo]

Unfortunately Canada have had this law for a long time : (

[jenamarieleake]

this is sick... they are going to let minors have abortions without notifing her parents... they're gonna let girls have partial birth abortions, which are horrifing, and they also will be letting the infants that survived a partial birth abortion, die in wastebaskets! this is DISGUSTING! what is america coming to?

[runninhamster]

Oh

And in response to MarkCox, it's not so much your stance that makes people thing you guys are extremists. I applaud you for finding something you find important and fighting for it. No, it's probably how you tack Lord have mercy on the end of everything.

[runninhamster]

I'm just going to apologize in advance for this, but...

Does this whole issue not shake any of your faith? With all the prayer and appealing to God, why hasn't their been a definitive response? I know God wouldn't fiddle with free will, but what about the lighting bolts and burning bushes of old? Where is the divine inspiration or intervention? Isn't it a bit odd to be getting a deaf ear? Wouldn't an illresponsible being do something, much less an omnipotent, omniscient, all good God?

[matthewtherobot]

To be honest, if something like this shakes your faith, then you don't have much faith in you at all. and when you speak of the burning bushes and lighting bolts of old, (oh boy....) you sound to me like someone who doesn't understand how God works, and how divine providence works.

[runninhamster]

To me it sounds like you are not real sure of how he works either. Which I suppose is fine enough. A divine being is no doubt hard to dissect. For the record, no this is not what shook my faith. It did take a lot more than this. Truth be told the lack of a lightning bolt didn't do it either, that's just pertanant to the question.

Anyway, how does he work? I find love to hear any insight you have. I'm not trying to patronizing. Honestly, I'm pretty open minded. I just want a nice friendly talk.

[plannedXaccident]

God works through people. Also all those burning bushes and lightning strikes well, those could have been made up. We probably won't know until die.

[MarkCox73]

Our church is uniate with the Roman Church and bishops in both are fighting this. We had post cards made up to mail to our senetors and reps.. The pro-abortionists concider us "extrenists" Imagine... they believe that dialating a cervix and using a vacuum to suck out a living baby isn't. Lord have mercy on us!

[idface3]

This Abortion Act will most likely get passed since liberal democrats are in charge of our country now. BUT we can no longer close our eyes, ears or MOUTH. We MUST speak out against FOCA. Go to website: congress (dot com) and send letters to your state reps and senators. No longer can we be ignorant in these matters and we can be silent no longer! Lord save us.

[uloveannieoxox]

I think that this is one of the scariest and possibly the worst decision that our president could be making right now. I thought that our country was finally taking big steps towards social justice, BUt this act is a giant leap backwards. Prolife or Porchoice i think that most people can agree that the radical measures like these will only HURT America.

[CaMediaRC]

Keep up the good work ALL.

God Bless.

[spiderman1fan]

Jesus , I plead your blood over my sin and the sin's of my nation God end aboration and send revival to America.. -bound4life prayer

[anhpham129]

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who had done so much to bring the decision of Roe v. Wade about, confessed to fabricating abortion statistics and began to rethink his position months after abortion was legalized.He confessed that his abortion team swayed public opinion by creating statistics which claimed 10,000 women a year died from illegal abortions when the real figure was probably closer to 200.

[JediSurvivorOrder66]

We will defeat them somehow, God willing of course.
