The top ten things that would happen if we elect a pro-choice president On
November 4th:
1. Roe v. Wade would exist for at least another 30 to 40 years by the US
Supreme Court appointments he makes. The next president will make at least
one, and probably two US Supreme Court appointments. If elected to a second
term, he could make as many as six appointments. The average Supreme Court
Justice serves 23 years. Because the next two justices that are likely to
retire are both pro-abortion, a pro-life president could position the courts
to overturn Roe V. Wade in the next few years.
2. The "Freedom of Choice Act" would override all state laws regarding
abortion and eliminate 35 years of laws that have reduced abortions in the
USA. Obama co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act (S. 1173) and would make
passing it one of his "first priorities as president". It would eliminate
parental notification laws, 24-hour waiting period for abortions, and
education of women about the abortion risks and development of her unborn
child. The Freedom of Choice act would require taxpayer funding of abortion
and make partial birth abortion legal again.
3. A pro-choice president would sponsor a bill for elimination of the Hyde
Amendment, and thus force all taxpayers to bear the costs of free abortions
for the poor. The Hyde Amendment has protected federal taxpayers from being
forced to fund abortions through Medicaid.
4. A pro-choice president would include abortion as a "covered procedure" in
any national health care insurance plan making abortions more readily
available and forcing taxpayers to fund them.
5. A pro-choice president would require all medical schools to train doctors
to perform abortions and force doctors to perform abortions regardless of
their personal moral or religious beliefs or convictions.
6. A pro-choice president would likely issue an Executive Order (probably on
his first day in office as did President Clinton) eliminating the Mexico
City policy. The Mexico City policy bars US foreign aid money from being
given to organizations or companies that perform or promote abortion
overseas.
7. A pro-choice president would restore funding for UNFPA (United Nations
Population Fund) which provided millions of dollars of funding for abortions
and forced sterilizations in many Third World countries and China.
8. A pro-choice president would remove the current restriction prohibiting
use of US Defense Budget monies on abortions for military personnel.
9. A pro-choice president would lead the way to the repeal of the ban on
partial-birth abortions, where a baby's skull is stabbed with scissors in
the birth canal and the brains are sucked out to end its life swiftly and
ease passage of the corpse into the pan. Obama co-sponsored S. 1173 making
partial birth abortion legal again.
10. A pro-choice president could overturn the Born-Alive Infants Protection
Act. The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was a law passed by the United
States Congress in 2002. It extends legal protection to an infant born alive
after a failed attempt at induced abortion. It was signed into law on August
5, 2002 by President Bush.
