Obama: The Abortion President

Barack Obama makes it clear that his first priority upon becoming president would be to open the floodgates (or should I say “bloodgates”?) of abortion on demand.

Consider this from LifeSiteNews:

“The first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act,” Obama said in his July speech to abortion advocates worried about the increase of pro-life legislation at the state level.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.

The 2007 version of FOCA proposed: “It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.”

What does “health” mean? When it isn’t clearly and properly defined to indicate serious bodily function as it is in South Dakota’s Initiated Measure 11, it can mean anything we want it to mean. Which ultimately means an open door to abortion for any reason.

Choice begins when a woman has sex. The natural function and result of sex is reproduction. Even the oral contraceptive can fail–and sometimes does. When you have sex there is an implied (dare I say “accepted”) risk that pregnancy may result.

Once human life has been created in the womb, the primary focus of choice moves from the woman to the new life created in her womb. From conception the child has it’s own separate DNA, unique from the mother’s DNA, making the child not a part of her body over which she exercises choice, but a separate, unique human being.

That child has the first and foremost right and choice among all rights and choices: to live.
