President Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.Maybe James Francis Cardinal Stafford was right when he warned, "For the next few years, Gethsemane will not be marginal. We will know that garden."
Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.
The policy, known in governmental circles as the "Mexico City policy," requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."
The language was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in 1984, and was approved by President Reagan and originally drafted by his assistant secretary of state, Alan Keyes.
Oh well, let them abort themselves.
And it’s only day 2 of his administration.
“Oh well, let them abort themselves”
Yep, might as well.
May a pox be on his house.barry that is aka barack
A lot of people don’t understand that Obama can say things like “new age of personal responsibility” because the left co-opts all those traditional values in name only and twists them to apply to the leftist agenda.
Redistributing wealth, etc., IS personal responsibility in their minds.
Read Carter’s bizarre book in which he claims every left wing position that America never supported, is actually a true American value.
Wake up folks it’s going fast!
He doesn’t want them “burdened by a baby”.
...the really sad part is that most of the Americans voters are not smart enough (or don't give a shiite) to know what has happened to them.
Not only have they offended most of America...
...they have offended God.
With all of the problems that confront us, and barely 48 hours into the job, he makes it one of his top priorities to pay back his friends in the abortion racket. Good job!
And Muslims won’t get abortions.
You said it. Most Americans don’t care as long as they get their “mortgage paid” and “gas paid.” Game over for America.
U.S. taxpayer money for foreign abortions?.....Zero is moving fast. He will have his socialist agenda up and running in no time!
If abortion is committed by using our tax dollars, will we be held responsible by a Higher Court for funding murder by paying taxes?
Is this a surprise to ANYONE?
What were Christians who voted for this man, and there were many of them, thinking?
Oh. They weren’t.
OH! That twit actress, Dana Delaney, will get her big wish! She said as much during an interview recently. Hell, she’s rich, if she wants to murder the unborn she can at least fund it with her own money, not us pro-life taxpayers! Sickening!
They sold out; and not even for a few gold coins, but promise of a piece of someone else's pie.
But he was adamant that not one dime be spent on medical care for a baby born alive following an abortion attempt.
Unbelievable! We can use our tax dollars to support infanticide in foreign countries but we cannot support affordable healthcare for our own living people right here!?
The blood of these babies is on the hands of those that voted for this man, and it will never wash off.
The next time you claim to be a Christian, think of what you have done to countless of innocent and unborn children.
The next time you consider voting for color, think of the red color of innocent blood you have helped to spill.
The next time you think of “change”, look with yourself.
The next time you think of “hope”, think of the hope of life that you have helped to steal from the innocent.
The next time you cry out in support of an evil and selfish man, think of the cries in silence that these babies scream, as their arms and legs are torn from their little bodies and feel the pain of their skulls being crushed, as they instinctively fight for life.
The next time you are alone and feeling helpless at the hands of others, think of what you yourself have done.
If you believe that the sanctity of the life for the helpless and innocent isn’t deserving of protection.... then neither is yours.
Has he signed that executive order yet? I haven’t seen any evidence that he has actually signed it yet.
Perhaps tomorrow he’ll sign it?
He wont torture terrorists, but he will salt down a fetus in a flash.
No waterboarding but he will slit open a childs head and suck its brains out.
He wont allow confinement of terrorists but he will throw a living fetus in a laundry basket and leave it to die alone.
Nice guy these liberals have placed in White House.
No! That question was recently submitted to a catholic theologian and that was his response. He reminded viewers of Christ's injunction to "render unto Caesar ... " This is not a situation where you have any say in the matter.
Day 2: America Held Hostage
“pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name...”
I wonder where he’s going to get the money from? Borrow it from the Chinese?
>This is not a situation where you have any say in the matter.<
Hmm, interesting analysis. That means that we will never have to object to anything evil the government does and accept it as law.
Tell that to the many martyrs who defied Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Hitler, Stalin and Mao — they did not have any say, either. The American bishops must be letting out a sigh of relief to know that they can tell the faithful to accept abortion as a necessary evil and that their contribution to the slaughter is only incidental.
That really got us of the hook, didn’t it?

The theologian's response and thinking is the reason so many Catholics vote for Obama, Biden, Kennedy, Palosi etal and will continue to vote for baby killers in the future to their own damnation..
It is true we are to render unto Caesar. What he has wrong is who is Caesar in this country. We are Caesar!! God ordained our republic with a government chosen by the people. Therefore, the people will be judged for it's policies good and bad.
We choose this government by voting. When we vote for people we know have a history of voting for policies we know are against God's will, we are guilty when those policies are carried out and will be held responsible.
To think or teach we are guilt free if we vote for these people is folly. BVB
I read this and I am thinking of two very special Scriptures:
“He who seeks only himself brings himself to ruin,
whereas he who brings himself to nought for Me
discovers who he is.”
Matthew 10:39
and
“He who acts in truth comes to the light”
John 3:21
May God grant that Mr.Obama will not seek only himself,
and will come to know the truth that he may see the light.
