Fight the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)
LinkedN ^ | Lee Gresham

Posted on 01/28/2009 10:06:46 AM PST by DBCJR

The first thing I want to say is, you don't have to be Pro-Life to join this group! There are already plenty of people that have joined that are Pro-Choice. This group is against FOCA, if you would like to learn about it, it takes only a few minutes. A second thought, before anyone ignores this group because they think it's a group against Obama, let me tell you that it's not. This group's sole purpose is to help keep FOCA from being passed. If you read my guidelines at the bottom, I do not tolerate any severe comments against him and I have already deleted quite a few. Also, if you don't want to read all of the information I have written down but you still support me, please go to http://www.fightfoca.com/ and sign the petition. It takes less than 30 seconds and you could make a big difference. But please watch the first video at the bottom of this group if you can, maybe it'll change your mind if you're Pro-Choice. And please don't ignore it just because you are Pro-Choice. Be open minded and learn the facts and debate on the page if you don't agree.

Thank you,

Lee Gresham

"The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing I’d do." -Barack Obama

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide.

* FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.

* FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.

* FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.

FOCA will eradicate state and federal laws that the MAJORITY of Americans support, such as:

* Bans on Partial Birth Abortion

* Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion

* Only licensed physicians can perform abortions

* Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion

all taken from http://www.fightfoca.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- So if FOCA is passed,

1) Parents do not have to be notified of a minor getting an abortion and won't be able to help their daughter make the right decision.

2) We, as taxpaying Americans, have to pay taxes to fund abortions even if we don't support them.

3) Hospitals (including Catholic hospitals) and doctors will be forced to perform abortions even if they don't want to.

4) It will not be required to give women the risks of getting an abortion such as: (A) the risk of an ectopic or tubal pregnancy is 30% higher for women who have had one abortion, and up to four times higher for women with two or more abortions.(When a woman has an Ectopic pregnancy she has a 12% risk of dying in a future pregnancy.) (B) women who abort face a 50% increase in breast cancer. (C) Placenta previa is a condition in pregnancy where the sac holding the baby (the placenta) tears away from the uterine lining. This can result in extreme and severe life-threatening bleeding. Women who have experienced abortion have a 600% increase in their risk for placenta previa in future pregnancies. (D) Infertility and sterility mean that a woman cannot get pregnant. Abortion causes sterility in 2-5% of the women who have an abortion.

5) People don't need to be a licensed physician to abort children. This will definitely cause more problems for women because these people won't know how to do their job to the best of their ability.

6) It will eliminate all bans on Partial Birth abortion. For those who don't know, Partial Birth abortion is usually performed during the last trimester of gestation up to the end of the ninth month. Up to the 9th month..... There have been babies born at 24 weeks (6 months) and have grown up to live healthy lives. The way that Partial Birth abortion works is the baby is flipped on it's stomach and is taken halfway out. Then the abortionist does whatever he does and kills it. If you want a better description go on youtube. There's a video where people in the background clap after it's done.

For those who say that the babies don't feel anything, they most certainly do. We have ultrasound footage of the babies squirming around trying to avoid the tubes when a suction abortion is taking place. We also have ultrasound footage of the babies writhing in pain when an acid is poured on them to make it easy to clean out. They are people, like you and me, and they deserve to live. Some can make the argument that they can't afford a kid, they don't want to bring a baby into a messed up life, or they were raped. But adoption is always the answer to any of those reasons. Yes, adoption is hard on the kids and makes a lot of them feel like their parents didn't want them but it's better than killing them. I am sorry for every girl that has ever gotten raped and will get raped, it is never your fault, it is always the man's fault and they are sick for doing it, but it's not the child's fault that you got raped so don't kill it. Plus, more women suffer psychologically from getting an abortion than from being raped.

Perhaps the most sickening way of aborting a child is infanticide, the killing of fully born infants who had survived a failed abortion attempt and then are left for hours in soiled linen baskets to die. This is murder and it is happening in our country everyday. The sad thing about our country is that we just elected the man that supports it. Barack Obama supports infanticide. It is the first video.

The second video is Obama promising to sign FOCA just so you have proof.

This is an awesome video. To all those of you who believe that abortions are necessary so a child isn't born into a bad life, watch this.

Please everyone, go to http://www.fightfoca.com/ and sign the petition to fight FOCA. Like I said, it takes less than 30 seconds and you could make a big difference. Also, please take the little amount of time to invite all of your friends, and get your parents and family to sign the petition. The more people we get the better. Thank you.

P.S. I want to give some guidelines on posting, It's only been 2 days and I've had to delete a few comments. So if you don't want your comments deleted, I suggest you read these few simple rules.

1) There will be no racial comments. All racial comments will be deleted immediately.

2) Please do not use God or Jesus as part of your argument. I will not delete your comment, but it will make you and the group look like idiots who use God in every argument. I am Catholic, but there must be a separation between church and state. This is not a religious argument as some people have proposed. This is a human rights issue and we will debate as such.

3) No comments about Obama dying. I do not like anything he stands for, but I will not tolerate any such comments and they will be deleted as soon as I see them no matter how good of an argument you make.

4) Do not bring other issues into this group. Someone came in and said something about the Palestinian-Israeli comment yesterday; I did not create a Middle Eastern conflict group everyone, so don't talk about anything that's not related to FOCA or having abortions.

Thank you

I was in an argument over someone regarding this. They made the point that if a doctor is able to perform an abortion they must have recieved additional training, meaning that they sought out to learn how to perform an abortion. Does anyone know if that’s true or not?

You are welcome! :)

My order came this week. In addition to the literature on FOCA, I also received the little feet that represent 10 weeks gestation. They amaze people when they see how perfectly formed the toes are at 10 weeks.

Hospitals (including Catholic hospitals) and doctors will be forced to perform abortions even if they don't want to.

Congress shall make no . . . or prohibit the free exercise thereof.

Forcing Catholic hospitals or doctors to commit what they rightfully regard as murder is further proof that our Constitution means nothing.
