2009 Pro-Abortion Acts

In addition to surrounding himself with radical advocates for abortion, Barack Obama, who proved his abortion agenda in Illinois by refusing to protect even those babies who survive an abortion attempt, has continued to carry his agenda to the whole country as president.

During his brief time in the highest office in the country, Obama has worked hard to further entrench the culture of death in the United States and throughout the world.

January 5- Obama selects pro-abortion “Catholic” Virginia Governor Tim Kaine to be the chairman of the Democratic Party.

January 6- Obama appoints Thomas Perrelli as an associate attorney general. Perrelli spearheaded the effort to have Terri Schiavo killed by starvation and dehydration.

January 22- Releases statement supporting Roe v. Wade. He said:
On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman's right to choose.

January 23- Overturns the Mexico City Policy. This reversal makes available hundreds of millions of dollars to fund abortion in other countries.

January 26- Obama’s Deputy Secretary of State, James B. Steinberg, tells members of the Senate that the Mexico City Policy “is an unnecessary restriction that, if applied to organizations based in this country, would be an unconstitutional limitation on free speech.”

March 11- Obama creates a new agency called the White House Council on Women and Girls. Obama appoints Tina Tchen, a former vice-president of NOW, as the agency’s director.

April 23 - Secretary of the State Hillary Clinton admits before the House Foreign Relations Committee that as far as the new government is concerned, the term "reproductive health" includes abortion. "We are now an administration that will protect the rights of women, including their rights to reproductive health care."

May 8 – Obama’s new budget allows the Legal Services Corporation to conduct litigation involving abortion.

This list of appointments and actions regarding abortion is certainly not exhaustive, but it clearly illustrates that Barack Obama has every intention of securing birth control and abortion as protected acts in this country. While he may say that he wishes to “reduce the number of abortions” or the “need” for abortions in this country, and even though he claims that abortion is not a “priority” for him, his words bear the worth of their weight … which is nothing. President Obama has surrounded himself with pro-abortion radicals, has created new offices and agencies devoted to so-called “reproductive health,” which Secretary of State Clinton tells us includes abortion, and has done everything within his power to give more money to those organizations devoted to killing preborn children.

One would expect that the editor-in-chief of the Vatican newspaper would be better informed than to make such a blunder as claiming that Barack Obama is not a “pro-abortion president.”
