What Is More Important to Obama than the Economy?
Abortion, it seems.In a move signaling more to come in the Obama presidency, the President signed legislation lifting a ban dating back to the Reagan era on federal funding of international abortions. The Wall Street Journal reports:
President Barack Obama quietly overturned the "global gag rule" Friday, allowing U.S. foreign-aid dollars to flow again to international family-planning programs that offer abortion or advocate for abortion rights.He also said he would work to restore funding for the United Nations Population Fund, which pays for similar family-planning programs in a wider range of countries. And he vowed to search for common ground between people on both sides of the issue.
In related news, Obama's $825 billion-dollar economic stimulus package includes "hundreds of millions of dollars" for contraceptives, according to Senator John Boehner.So America's in a recession, and instead of talking about cuts in spending, President Obama is making it a priority to fund abortions in other countries and buy contraceptives to encourage young people to have "safe sex." All of this is paid for with our tax dollars.God help us.
