Obama & Abortion / The Freedom of Choice Act / His Intentions Revealed / Pro-Life Video

Obama & Abortion / The So-Called Freedom of Choice Act Video. All text, images and video clips from Fair Use or the public domain. A year ago today, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) stood before Planned Parenthood (PP) and vowed that his first priority as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). According to NARAL Pro-Choice America, FOCA would "codify Roe v. Wade into law and guarantee a woman's right to choose in all 50 states." On April 7, 2007, when Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) introduced the Act in Congress, they knew that it was far more than a government "guarantee" of abortion. If enacted, FOCA would obliterate hundreds of state laws that protect women, parents, children, and health care workers, while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for millions of abortions. It would overturn commonsense laws like parental notification, conscience protections, abortion waiting periods, informed consent, and regulations for women's health. In essence, FOCA would tilt the table for abortion. Obama's support of FOCA hits particularly close to home among African-Americans, whose women and children have been preyed upon for decades by the eugenically minded Planned Parenthood. This connection has been pointed out again to the NAACP, who held their 99th annual conference with a sizeable pro-life presence. Together with Dr. Alveda King, niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., black leaders from across the country demonstrated at the convention where both presidential candidates spoke. The pro-life coalition is part of the growing movement of African-Americans who understand the "biggest struggle for civil rights today is for the rights of the unborn." While the NAACP national leadership and Sen. Obama stubbornly champion the abortion industry, groups like Planned Parenthood are profiting from the disproportionate number of black pregnancies that end inside their walls. Given the devastating effect of abortion on one in every two black pregnancies, shouldn't the NAACP be leading the charge against it? The promoters of the FOCA sometimes claim that its purpose is to "codify Roe v. Wade," the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand. But the key binding provisions of the bill would go further than Roe, invalidating all of the major types of pro-life laws that have been upheld by the Supreme Court in the decades since Roe. "The claim that the bill would 'codify Roe' is just a marketing gimmick by the proponents," explained Johnson. "The sponsors hope that journalists and legislators will lazily accept that vague shorthand phrase -- but it is very misleading. The references to Roe in the bill are in non-binding, discursive clauses. The heart of the bill is a ban that would nullify all of the major types of pro-life laws that the Supreme Court has said are permissible under Roe v. Wade, including the ban on partial-birth abortions and bans on government funding of abortion." The bill flatly invalidates any "statute, ordinance, regulation, administrative order, decision, policy, practice, or other action" of any federal, state, or local government or governmental official (or any person acting under government authority) that would "deny or interfere with a woman's right to choose" abortion, or that would "discriminate against the exercise of the right . . . in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information." This no-restriction policy would establish, in Senator Boxer's words, "the absolute right to choose" prior to fetal "viability." The no-restriction policy would also apply after "viability" to any abortion sought on grounds of "health."

"No ability to grasp truth"? "Catholics are illiterate"?

You think the universe is only 6000 years old! You think dinosaurs and man lived among each other. You point to the Taylor Trail as your evidence. That is laughably ignorant. I am dumbfounded that people like you have the ability to completely ignore the overwhelming evidence against you. WOW!

[rusda2]

the catholic church is filled with illiterates, thats a pre req for being a cathie. all you know is what your 'pomp' tells you to believe. you dont follow the bible. RCC doesnt follow it or teach it.

pathetic? yeah. it makes perfect sense. but your brain is so full of senseless catholic mummery you have no ability to grasp truth.

stop calling me friend. you have shown your true colors by your cussing and name calling. you care nothing about my welfare. stop adding hypocrisy to insult.

[John Anthony]

I know the history of the Crusades and the Inquisitions and can tell you that 50 million is an absolutely ridiculous number. Only a historical illiterate would regurgitate such complete nonsense..

Your "research" consists of information you find on anti catholic websites..

Belief that Orion is some sort of star gate to heaven is Egyptian paganism. The propaganda "defense league" page you referred me to is pathetic. They got you snowed big time, friend. Run, don't walk from the SDA.

EGW & orion: tinyurlDOTcom/egwOrion

replace the DOT with a real one.

[rusda2]

it's history. if you really care, do your homework and find out. I wont do your research for you.

I provided info in an earlier post for the porn thing.

ahhh I see you still cuss. I was under the impression you were converted & born again...was i mistaken? please refrain from using cuss words.

why dont you actually read an article explaining what the orion thing is about so you understand it before you make your decision?

my friend, you are in the seat of paganism and you dont even see it.

[John Anthony]

50 million murders, huh? Where did you get this number from? Please give me the breakdown of how you derived this number along with your sources. This should be fun! LOL..

Also provide the source of your xxx porn claim

Your "remnant church" facilitates the murder of unborn children. God frowns upon that. All the "happy sabbaths" in the world doesn't change this fact

Also, Ellen was either hallucinating or lying about God speaking to her from Orion. That's pagan bullshit. SMH..

[rusda2]

you can face yourself in the mirror because you are totally ignorant of the cult you are in. you do as most catholics and turn a blind eye & make excuses for the filth of your 'church'.

your church FACILITATES PEDOPHILIA. clearly you have no problem with this. disgusting.

I have already made my stance on abortion clear in a previous post a week ago or more. you read it. so quit asking me to repeat myself. you sound like a parrot.

[rusda2]

your 'church' wants to 'save' babies from abortion for what? slavery and pedophilia? most probably.

most charitable? how about the organization with the most HOARDED WEALTH on the planet? yes thats right. people STARVE all over the world when if the RCC sold it's vast HOARDED holdings of lands, businesses & art and buy food with the money there would be no hunger. but then they wouldnt have statues to worship & bow to. sick.

your church CURRENTLY PROFITS from XXX PORN! nice eh?
