That Didn’t Take Long
In a move that clearly indicates he’s learned the ‘under the radar game’, President Obama reinstated federal funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information concerning that choice. Playing the experienced executive that he’s not, he made the move on Friday afternoon when there would be a minimum of fanfare. Many Americans who support abortion “rights” have no idea that every day in our country more babies are killed than the total number of people who died in the 911 attacks, EVERY DAY!! Every two days, more babies are killed than the total of all the soldiers that have been lost in the Iraq war and it’s been going on for nearly seven years.
Hailed as a boon to women’s health, no mention is made of the health of the babies who die under the baseless claim that this will reduce unwanted pregnancies. There has been no reduction of unwanted pregnancies, only full term pregnancies. Pregnancies of the unwanted variety have continued to increase since Roe v Wade because unmarried sexual activity has increased, particularly among teens and even more so among black teens, sadly.
It will reduce the number of women dying from high risk pregnancies. Just once I would like to see the proponents of abortions join together with those who oppose abortions and do an accurate study, both groups so that the survey results would be mutually credible, to determine what is the actual number of women in high risk situations that have abortions to avert their condition is versus those that are just unwanted pregnancies. I’m confident that the percentage would be minimal at best among the total number of pregnancies aborted. What percentage is just because of a possible Downs baby? The most joyous people on earth terminated because of appearances or inconvenience or social stigma.
I find the President’s support of such options ironic, since his abortion could have been considered by his Mom, particularly if she would have known what was going to happen with his father abandoning them a relatively short time after he was born. Any of us could have been aborted. All that separates us from that fate is our parents’ or moms’ choice.
How many doctors, scientists, public servants, sports heroes, heroes period, teachers or caregivers do you suppose we’ve killed, causing all of their potential accomplishments to die with them? Approaching fifty million kids now, thousands of achievers gone for convennience, or fear, or embarrassment, or money concerns or who knows what other influences created the choice to kill a voiceless child. The world is turning further upside down. It appears that President Obama is doing his best to speed it up.
