I believe in a culture of life where the lives of un-born children should be protected by law. If you agree with me then there are some things you should know about Senator Obama. Senator Obama, if elected, would be the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history. Furthermore, this pro-abortion advocacy would begin on Day 1.

How? I refer you to the “Mexico City Policy”.

In 1984, at a U.N. conference in Mexico City, President Ronald Reagan announced a new policy on abortion. This policy required non-governmental organizations to “‘agree as a condition of their receipt of [U.S.] federal funds’ that they will ‘neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations’.[2] The policy has exceptions for abortions done in response to rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions.[3]”

In 1993, on his first day in office, President Clinton rescinded the Mexico City Policy, freeing a flow of money to abortionists and their advocates around the world. In 2001, President Bush re-instated the MCP, stanching this flow of tax payer dollars to promote world-wide abortions .

It is all but certain that a President Obama, who is avowedly in support of abortion on demand all the way up to and including delivery, will lift this ban on tax payer funded abortions. He will most assuredly do this on day 1 in office, as did President Clinton.

Any who support the right to life should take note of this as well as other pro-abortion positions of Senator Obama. I could never in good conscience support such a man for office. I can’t see how any pro-life person could.

Oh Jeez, another abortion thread.....

Jeez does not hear you.

What ...the Prez can authorize that kind of spending on his own hook…

There ought to be a law!

Since there isn’t one authorizing that subsidy just how does he plan to accomplish this event?

nano,

The funding is there through various aid programs. The Mexico City Policy doesn’t control what funds are appropriated, which is up to Congress, it only prohibits overseas pro-abortion organizations from receiving such appropriated funds. The NGOs that comply with the policy are eligible. Those that do not comply are in-eligible. All Senator Obama has to do is rescind the policy and organizations that perform or promote abortion are eligible to receive funds. That’s your money and my money going to organizations that kill un-born children overseas.

Yes, indeed!  Why not?  Let’s all help spread, accomodate, and fund the murder of babies-in-utero all over the world.  The U.S. liberals gift to women everywhere.

It is almost a wash on this issue as McCain voted against more funds for adoptions.  What person in their right mind would do that if they are pro life?

The Hyde Amendment prevents public money from being spent on abortions.  Jimmy Carter signed it.

I guess that someone on here isn’t as pro life as I am LOL!!!!

Ralph:It is almost a wash on this issue as McCain voted against more funds for adoptions.  What person in their right mind would do that if they are pro life?

1. No, even if true that wouldn’t make this a “wash”.

2. Adoption funding is a different subject than promoting or funding abortion.

3. Documentation please. What bill? Was it a pork project? Were there other objectionable items that were cause to vote against it?

The Hyde Amendment prevents public money from being spent on abortions.  Jimmy Carter signed it.

The Mexico City Policy is aimed at overseas funding which is not covered by the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment addresses Medicaid funding of abortions in the United States.

I remember reading about a program where the governments of Inda and Pakistan were giving out transistor radios to anyone who would submit to sterilization.  I guess the program didn’t work, or maybe Japan just could’t keep up with the demand for radios.

I’m not going to document everything everytime someone wants proof.  Do your own research.  I will only document something when I come out with the original topic.  I will only say that it was on my link in which I gave McCain 58% on the abortion issue when we were debating which candidates to support during primary season.

This is like doing the Geneva Convention links everytime that the left says that they want those war rights applied to the terrorists.  I’m just not going to post those type links on here anymore since they’ve been on here multiple times.

Republican Presidents deny public money in the U.S. to Planned Parenthood and other entities that provide medical services and birth control and sex education because they also provides abortions as well as abortion counselling.

I look forward to public money returning to Planned Parenthood and the like.
