Barrack Obama - The Abortion President

More Americans “Pro-Life” Than “Pro-Choice” for First Time
A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10,
finds 51% of Americans calling themselves "pro-life" on the
issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a
majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life
since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.
Stop the Freedom of Choice Act
“The mainstream pro-abortion leadership now has as its first
priority the “Freedom of Choice Act,” which would enshrine
abortion as a woman’s natural “right.” President Obama has
promised the pro-abortion leadership that he will support such a
bill. Its main thrust is to repeal any of the legislation since
1973 that puts at least some procedural limits on abortion:
parental consent for abortions for children under 18, mandatory
instruction of women seeking abortions to inform them of
alternatives and support groups, mandatory waiting periods of a
few days in order that the woman’s consent will be free and
deliberate. All these would be swept away.
Worse, this Freedom of Choice Act would infringe the freedom of
conscience of health-care workers. Anyone who would stand in the
way of abortion could be recognized as a criminal. Thus doctors
and nurses, even in Christian hospitals, who found participation
in abortions abhorrent would be forced by law to practice
abortion when requested, and forbidden to suggest alternatives.
The practical upshot of this would be the refusal of Catholic
and some other Christian hospitals to participate in abortions,
and the closing of their obstetrical facilities — and perhaps
the closing of entire hospitals. (Christian — mainly Catholic —
hospitals comprise almost a third of all hospitals in the U.S.)”
