According to the estimates, we have aborted almost 40 million babies since 1973.
This week, Pres Obama took another step to appease the left that still smarting about keeping Sec Gates in Defense.
He is going to sign FOCA, The Freedom of Choice Act.
It should be called The Freedom to have an abortion act!
Kyle-Anne Shiver has written extensively about abortion.
"In one fell swoop, FOCA will immediately irradicate more than 300 state statutes that place small restrictions on the “right” to abortion, things like parental consent, ultrasound availability, full disclosure on the medical complications, demands for information on adoption being offered pregnant women…etc.
These statutes are the result of the work of millions of citizens over the span of 36 years, since the Roe and Doe decisions made abortion a legalized murder for convenience.
FOCA will also codify Roe and Doe and state outright that this so-called “right to abort” is a Constitutional right and owed to every single woman, regardless of ability to pay.
States will be mandated to pay for abortion.
Insurance companies will be mandated to cover abortions.
If all this were not bad enough, the bill also strikes down conscience clauses in every state in the Union.
No hospital will be able to deny abortion services; Catholic hospitals may close as a result.
No doctor or nurse will be allowed to contientiously object from participation; many will likely resign as a result.
Individual, religious or moral objections will be wiped away with the passage of this bill.
There is a concerted campaign to defeat FOCA.
This is top priority; many lives are on the line.
By becoming involved in this battle, you may even be saving one of your future children or grandchildren from “extermination.”
