President Obama has started his stealth campaign to expand abortions in the United States and around the world. Late Friday, without media present, he issued an executive order requiring taxpayers to fund abortions internationally through U.S. agencies and the United Nations. Those "family planning centers" will now be promoting killing the unborn instead of raising healthy babies.
We have been disturbed by Obama's unhealthy fixation on reducing the number of live births by killing when clinics in the United States and around the world already provide full access to all family planning information. Pro-abortion advocates assert they are not advocating abortion as as an alternative way of family planning, but evidence suggests that is exactly what they are doing and what Obama intends. Organizations like Obama supporter Planned Parenthood makes much if not most of their money from the abortion business.
Obama is proceeding on his sweeping expansion of the abortion business in his usual
Alinsky incremental community organizer approach. Do a bit now and another bit later. Before you know it you've accomplished the whole package. And do it quietly. On a Friday afternoon after the reporters have gone and there's a fair chance even the Saturday newspapers won't pick the story up.
Next step in this stealth approach will probably be authorizing taxpayer funding of the industrial breeding and destruction of human beings for research, a totally unnecessary explosion of abortion, because medically it has been conclusively shown that stem cells not involving embryos offer the same if not better promise of medical success. Professor Robert George of Princeton has also noted the perversity of Obama's fixation on death:
It is as if Obama is opposed to stem-cell research unless it involves killing human embryos.
There were some still working late on Capitol Hill who were appalled by the tragedy Obama set in motion Friday afternoon:
Coming just one day after the 36th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade decision, this presidential directive forces taxpayers to subsidize abortions overseas _ something no American should be required by government to do," said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., called it "morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans to promote abortion around the world.""President Obama not long ago told the American people that he would support policies to reduce abortions, but today he is effectively guaranteeing more abortions by funding groups that promote abortion as a method of population control," said Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee.
Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky echoed those sentiments calling Obama's action "counter to our nation's interests."
Catholics-in-name-only Democratic Speaker of the House Pelosi and Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts both had words of praise for Obama's pro-abortion action, ignoring the words of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Pelosi and Kerry are supporting the unconscionable killing of human beings.
While claims that embryos and fetuses are members of the human family are often dismissed as based on faith alone or merely a matter of personal opinion, from a scientific standpoint this is entirely untrue. At the moment of conception, when egg meets sperm, either in the petri dish or the fallopian tube, the complete genetic blueprint of a new unique human individual comes together. This is scientific fact. It was at the moment of conception that each and every reader of this article began to journey through the developmental stages of life. Those destroyed in an abortion are genetically human except under the most bizarre circumstances. They are also certainly alive, consuming nutrients, excreting waste products of metabolism, growing, possessing the potential to reproduce, and responding to external stimuli such as local pH, availability of oxygen, and the presence of hormones in the fetal and maternal circulation. Abortion kills a human being in the earliest days, weeks or months of its development, period.
The Vatican said it best: "Of all the good things he could have done, Obama has chosen the worst." His action will lead to the "slaughter of the innocents" worldwide in the millions.
