The following is a complication of bill signings, speeches, appointments and other actions that President Barack Obama has engaged in that have promoted abortion before and during his presidency. While Obama has promised to reduce abortions and some of his supports believe that will happen, this long list proves otherwise.

The Pro Abortion Movement has won!!!

All of our leading Catholic Politicians have made this possible!!

Isn’t Senator Bob Casey Jr one of the leading Pro Abortion Catholics?

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The following is a complication of bill signings, speeches, appointments and other actions that President Barack Obama has engaged in that have promoted abortion before and during his presidency.
