Obama overturns Mexico City Policy -US tax dollars to fund foreign abortions

President Obama-the most pro-abortion president in the history of the US- has reversed President George W. Bush’s ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions. Now US tax payers will fund the destruction of the unborn in foreign lands.

The ban is known as the Mexico City Policy because former Republican President Ronald Reagan first introduced it at a UN conference there in 1984. It was overturned by President Bill Clinton in 1993 and then reinstated by President Bush in 2001.

Obama's agenda includes the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion in the US.

Barack Obama has signed the order to shut Guantanamo on the basis that it is an affront to American values and the Geneva Conventions. He is concerned with the human rights of prisoners in Guantanamo. Yet he expresses a callous disregard for the human rights of the unborn child in the womb. He has sanctioned the provision of American tax-payers money to kill the most vulnerable-those who cannot speak for themselves.

Obama has pledged to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and other pro-abortion rights laws. FOCA would abolish existing minimal state and federal restrictions on abortion and would even threaten the rights of Catholic hospitals to refuse to perform abortions.

Biden’s stance on abortion enrages Catholics – Major issue in states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania

Joe Biden-who is a Catholic- has consistently supported Roe V Wade in direct contravention of Catholic teaching on abortion. His support for abortion is rather strange since he believes that life begins at conception. In August 2007 in the US Senate Joe Biden cast a very important Anti-Life vote. He voted against the “Unborn Child Amendment”. The Amendment if passed would have made unborn babies eligible for federal aid by deeming them as separate beneficiaries from their mothers. It was defeated by just one vote-49 to 50.

This year both Biden and Obama voted in the US Senate against making permanent a Bush administration rule that extends a federal health care programme’s coverage to unborn babies and their mothers.
Obama’s selection of a pro-abortion Catholic as his running mate is a slap in the face for Catholics. Obama’s support for partial birth abortion shocks Catholics. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver has stated that Biden should not receive Holy Communion.

In September Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. and Auxiliary Bishop James D. Conley released a new letter to the Catholics of northern Colorado, titled “Public Servants and Moral Reasoning.”

The letter concludes:
“In his Meet the Press interview, Sen. Biden used a morally exhausted argument that American Catholics have been hearing for 40 years: i.e., that Catholics can't "impose" their religiously based views on the rest of the country. But resistance to abortion is a matter of human rights, not religious opinion. And the senator knows very well as a lawmaker that all law involves the imposition of some people's convictions on everyone else. That is the nature of the law. American Catholics have allowed themselves to be bullied into accepting the destruction of more than a million developing unborn children a year. Other people have imposed their "pro-choice" beliefs on American society without any remorse for decades.

If we claim to be Catholic, then American Catholics, including public officials who describe themselves as Catholic, need to act accordingly. We need to put an end to Roe and the industry of permissive abortion it enables. Otherwise all of us - from senators and members of Congress, to Catholic laypeople in the pews - fail not only as believers and disciples, but also as citizens.”


Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton Pennsylvania-Biden is a native of the city- stated “No Catholic politician who supports the culture of death should approach Holy Communion. I will be truly vigilant on this point”.
Biden’s current bishop, Bishop Saltarelli of Wilmington Delaware has stated that politicians “may not personally oppose abortion, but refuse to pass laws protecting the unborn”. Referring to pro abortion Catholics he said that, “ it would be more spiritually beneficial for such a person to refrain from receiving the Body and Blood of Christ.”
Archbishop Raymond Burke has attacked the Democrats on the issue of abortion.

The Democratic Parties support for abortion is diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the Law of God.
No Catholic can in good conscience support the Obama /Biden ticket .

Sarah Palin Attacks Obama on Abortion and defends the right to life of the unborn in a speech par excellence at Johnstown PA

This is a moving speech beautifully crafted. It defends the right to life of all unborn children-indeed the sanctity of all human life. It takes into account Gods will. Referring to her child Trig who was born with Downs Syndrome she said "we feel blessed." Obama ignores Gods will on this issue. He supports unlimited abortion and the culture of death.

Sarah Palin went on to state:
“….Who is more vulnerable or more innocent than a child?.... Every innocent life does matter. Everone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to our world if we give them that chance. And now there are the worlds standards of perfection and then there are Gods standards and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God and dear to him for their own sake..... It is hard to think of many issues which could be possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t. Who is granted life and who is denied it .

So when our opponent speaks about questions of life I listen very carefully… So I listen when our opponent defended his unconditional support for unlimited abortions. He said that a woman shouldn’t have to be quote 'punished with a baby'… Ladys and gentlemen he said that right here in Johnstown: 'punished with a baby'. Its about time we called him on it”

Obama's pretence to move to the centre on Abortion is a sham designed to mislead Catholics and Evangelicals

Barack Obama and his supporters in the media have begun a campaign to win a large segment of the Evangelical Christian vote. Some apologists in the media have stressed that Obama is moving towards the centre. Obama is the master of verbal obfuscation.

He is endeavouring to pretend that his beliefs are in tune with those of orthodox Catholics and Evangelicals. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has the most liberal voting record in the Senate on social matters. He supports and voted for partial birth abortion. Of course his apologists in the Washington Post, The New York Times and other liberal organs attempt to paint a picture of movement to the centre on social affairs. They along with Obama are attempting to mislead Evangelicals and Catholics. After all if Obama siphons off sufficient Evangelicals and Catholics he is home and dry.
So Obama is moving towards the centre on social affairs, is he? What does move to the centre really mean?

• Is Obama prepared to vote against abortion? No


• Is Obama prepared to put an end to partial birth abortion? No


• Is he prepared to appoint conservative judges? No


• Is he prepared to eschew his general liberal voting record? No

So all this talk of movement to the centre is hot air. It is an enormous sack of gas.It is sanitised language geared to sewing confusion among Evangelicals and orthodox Catholics. Obama and his liberal cohorts are engaged in a wilful campaign of misinformation and lies.
Articles in various liberal organs deliberately omit his extreme liberal record on abortion whilst emphasising any slight genuflection towards Evangelicals and Orthodox Catholics.
Obama is an extreme liberal on social affairs and an extreme left wing politician on the economy.
He is attempting to square the circle. This is not possible on social affairs. You are either in favour of abortion or you are not. You cannot bridge the unbridgeable.

The reality is Obama as exemplified by his voting record on abortion has contempt for the beliefs of conservative Evangelicals and orthodox Catholics.
Obama consistently emphasises the importance of Christianity in his life. Unfortunately he has facilitated the breaking of the Fifth Commandment by his votes on abortion.
Obama consistently speaks about women’s rights. But there is never a mention of the right to life of the unborn child. Where Obama is concerned God’s wishes are sidelined.God does not enter the equation. Obama is a secular humanist first and a Christian second. Obama’s religion is Secular Humanism with a little sprinkle of Christianity thrown in for good measure.
So the reality is that Orthodox Catholics and Evangelicals hold diametrically opposed positions from Obama on social matters.

No Catholic or Evangelical should vote for Obama because of his stance on abortion. Obama supports the anti–Christian position . He is opposed to God's wishes.
We are all answerable to God if we facilitate abortion in any way. You cannot compromise between good and evil. You opt for one or the other. There is no half way house. It is a case of God's wishes versus Obama's flowery rhetoric, which justifies and supports the culture of death. Evangelical African Americans who may be tempted to vote for Obama must put God first. They should vote for McCain on the basis of his strong anti-abortion stance.
