Freedom of Choice Act - Election Implications
National Right to Life ^ | July 17, 2007 | Senator Barack Obama

Posted on 11/04/2008 8:39:04 PM PST by johniegrad

"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." -- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007

The Freedom of Choice Act would nullify virtually all federal and state limitations on abortion. "Those promoting this bill intend to use it as a litmus test for those who seek congressional office, or the White House, and as a fund-raising tool," National Right to Life Committee's Douglas Johnson explained. "They know they cannot enact anything like this, so long as a pro-life president is in the White House."

Although there are many serious and legitimate reasons to be frightened by the results of this election, this is the one that concerns me the most. This election will wipe out the progress made in the past 30 years by the right to life movement and will threaten the ability of physicians to exercise their conscience when faced with morally objectionable medical decision making.

I know this one breaks my heart! The only thing I am hoping for it they have a few pro-life dems on their side that will vote against this. But of course, we have a few pro-choice reps that will vote for this evil bill.

I’ve been just sobbing my heart out. The babies, the babies are going to suffer even more. I just can’t stand this. I can’t stop crying.

I wonder if Right to Life will even get a permit for the march in January now.

Yep, yep and yep. I foresee the boutique abortion clinics brazenly advertising, and Planned Parenthood offering franchises. As for the physicians, the AMA sold its soul a long time ago. All that remains is for BO to cap their incomes in order to “control healthcare costs.”

Nonsense, this doesn't wipe out anything; it opens the doors for FORCED ABORTION on a mass scale and you know it.

Imagine who his target is going to be.

Our troubles are only now starting.

I for one do NOT want to be here when God pours out his wrath upon us, when this abomination is made the law of the land.

I wondered earlier how many people even know what FOCA is. Maybe when their twelve year old gets an abortion without their consent, they will see what we’ve voted for.

When Catholic Hospitals are required to perform abortions, will they close, or will they cave?

I am just aghast at the implications of this for our Country, and for her Soul.

My concern as well.

However this may be the *result* of God's hardening people's hearts.

To quote Ransom in That Hideous Strength:

"The Shadow of one dark wing is over all Tellus."

Let us all to prayers.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

It has not passed but Obama has said that it would be the first bill he would sign if he could.

Politically-driven mass murder of the most innocent and defenseless is the first step. The likely second step is forced euthanasia.

I would imagine that some will have to sell.....

And it wouldn't surprise me...if some did cave.

There are medium sized towns...30k-60k with only one hospital that are Catholic owned. They can't just close the doors.....

Heck...the ObamaFeds will just buy them.

50 MILLION killed and counting. How can anyone with any sense of decency think that’s acceptable? That is 1/6 of our current poplulation murdered in the womb and 10 TIMES the estimated amount of Jews killed by Hitler and the left nary blinks an eye. That makes me want to puke bile for hours.
