President Obama may have given himself a "good solid B-plus" on his first year, but you can bet that Planned Parenthood is giving him much higher marks--especially after its Secret Santa gifted millions more in taxpayer-funded abortion. When the President inked his name on the $447 billion Omnibus bill yesterday, he was effectively signing the check for tens of thousands of D.C. abortions. Maybe that explains why ABC News is reporting that the President "seemed a little embarrassed about the whole deal, refusing to sign the bill in public or even to release a photograph."
Despite his call to "reduce abortions," this White House is freeing up more taxpayer dollars for the slaughter of innocent unborn children than any President in U.S. history. Initiatives like the "National Task Force to Reduce Abortions" and the promise that "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions" appear to be nothing more than a facade. It masks an administration that has done nothing to reduce abortion--but everything in its power to expand it. Remember, barely 24 hours into his first term, this President immediately set to work undoing years of pro-life policy. Among President Obama's first acts was lifting a ban on taxpayer-funded abortion--overturning the Mexico City policy just one day after the 35th March for Life. Today, he's carrying on that tradition in his own backyard, forcing taxpayers to finance the procedure in a city with the highest abortion rate in the country (2005). The same will be done for the rest of the nation if the President succeeds in passing his so-called healthcare reform bill presently in the Senate. The same man who asked, "How can we reduce the number of abortions?" refuses to accept the easy answer: stop paying for them!
