The Obama Abortion Agenda and the Congress: The Last Four Years

By Douglas Johnson

WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 1, 2012)–Over the four years of Barack Obama’s presidency, substantial damage has been inflicted to longstanding pro-life policies. In addition, new programs have been created which, during the years ahead, will result in large-scale federal subsidies to health plans that pay for abortion, other federally driven expansions of abortion, and rationing of lifesaving medical care, unless remedial legislation is enacted.

In addition, Obama placed two strongly pro-abortion justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.

However, during the last four years, additional pro-abortion initiatives have been deterred, blocked, or repaired by pro-life forces.

If pro-life Mitt Romney is elected president on November 6, we can begin to repair the worst damage, and to resume the previous progress towards increased protections for unborn children and other vulnerable members of the human family. But if President Obama is re-elected, the damage will be compounded tenfold.

In short: The last four years have been bad, but it could have been much worse–and if Barack Obama is given another four years in office, it will be.

An Important Last-Minute Reminder: It All Begins with You

By Jacki Ragan

Four years ago I wrote a story for National Right to Life News under the headline, “An Important Last-Minute Reminder: It All Begins with You.” Why the same headline? Has nothing changed?

To the contrary, everything has changed. A dedicated pro-life President, George W. Bush, was replaced by the most pro-abortion President in our nation’s history who without fail has fulfilled the fondest hopes of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and EMILY’s List. For nearly four years President Barack Obama gave not an inch in pushing their agenda, all the while insisting he was seeking “common ground.” Whether at home or abroad, his True North is more abortions. Were he to be re-elected, Mr. Obama would only be emboldened to do more to promote the culture of death.

What has not changed, however, is that unborn babies rely on you. It is your volunteer power matched up against an Abortion Establishment that is rolling in money, aided and abetted by a compliant “mainstream media.”

This campaign has gone on so long it almost seems as if it started in the last century. But in a curious way, this long-drawn-out campaign has served a very important purpose. We know Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan make a powerful pro-life team, the starkest possible alternative to pro-abortion President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

NOVEMBER 7

By Carol Tobias

There is a very small minority in this country who think abortion should be legal anywhere, any time, for any reason, and they want our tax dollars to pay for it. Unfortunately, one of those in the small minority is our President, Barack Obama. He is, without question, the most pro-abortion president we’ve ever had.

Bill Clinton, during his time in office, at least tried to convince us that he thought abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” President Obama puts forth no such pretense. Neither as a legislator nor as president has he ever supported a single bill or amendment that would place limits on abortion at any time in pregnancy. Somehow, the innocent unborn child has become the enemy that must be sacrificed at all cost.

Obama doesn’t just give lip service to abortion advocates, he fights for them. He opposes, and threatens vetoes of, legislation that would limit abortion in any way or for any reason. He ignores the wishes of state and local governments, bypassing them to contract directly with Planned Parenthood affiliates, and as he promised Planned Parenthood during the 2008 campaign, he has made expansion of abortion a major component of his health care reform law.

President Obama has already appointed two pro-abortion members of the Supreme Court. If given another four years and more appointments, he could delay the reversal of Roe v. Wade for another generation.
