White House Web Site Becomes Pro-Abortion After Obama Takeover (Within 5 minutes)
Life News ^ | 1/20/09 | Steven Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In less than five minutes after Barack Obama took over as the next president, the White House web site changed from pro-life to pro-abortion. The previous site, which touted the pro-life proclamation President Bush signed late last week, now includes Obama's agenda for women, which calls for promoting abortion.

Gone is any mention of the Sanctity of Human Life Day or the speeches or actions of President Bush's that promoted human life. Now, in the same color scheme and format as the Bush site, there is a celebration of Obama's agenda.

According to a web site search of WhiteHouse.gov, the only page on the official governmental site to mention abortion is a page detailing what Obama will do to promote the interests of women.

Though abortions cause women a myriad of medical and mental health problems, Obama states his clear intent, in a section entitled "reproductive choice," to make abortions even more available.

"President Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Adminstration [sic]," the Obama White House site says.

"He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in that case," it adds.

The White House page also touts Obama's backing for the Prevention First Act.

Billed as a measure to provide more funding for family planning and contraception, pro-life advocates oppose it because it sends millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business that does 25 percent of the abortions across the country.

The Obama White House site also promotes the new president's view that Americans should be forced to pay for embryonic stem cell research, which involves the destruction of human life and has never helped a single patient.

The web site comes across as a false claim that government has not supported stem cell research in general, even though President Bush spent hundreds of millions of dollars promoting the use of adult stem cells -- the only kind to help any patients.

"President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that we owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases," the White House site says.

"Obama is a co-sponsor of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, which will allow research of human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated (with consent) from in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos must be deemed in excess and created based solely for the purpose of fertility treatment," it adds.

However, not all leftover embryos are deemed to be in excess as hundreds of babies have been born through the embryo adoption programs that exist nationwide.

I guess Zero isn't even going to pretend that he wants abortion to be "safe and legal and rare."

Good God...if abortions became rare then abortion mills couldn't donate all that cash to the “Reelect Osama...For The Children” fund.

Lord, have mercy on us and all the babies that will be killed.

In my opinion, all the Catholics who voted for Obama (CINOs) now have blood on their hands.

He’s got wickens cleansing the White House for him, he’s supporting killing of babies - sounds like some pretty evil stuff moving in to me.

Sadly, this is NO surprise. I thought I read that he said something about preventing the *slaughter of the innocent* in his speech....I guess human pre-borns weren’t considered at all.

Abortion is not safe (there are still botched abortions even among legal procedures), it’s questionably legal (Planned Parenthood has been caught telling girls to lie about their age and nature of their pregnancies to avoid reporting statutory rape and incest cases to the police), and it certainly isn’t rare (50 million dead since Roe v. Wade).

I know that this is terrible, but I’ve almost(but not quite) reached the point where I figure that since libs love abortion so much they should be allowed to go right ahead and abort themselves out of the gene pool.

You may be able to leave the country but you may have to leave your belongings here.

Muslims and academic liberals don’t consider anyone “innocent”.

His presidency has just gotten the death sentence itself.
