Obama Celebrates 41 Years of Abortion: Roe an “Opportunity to Fulfill Dreams”
LifeNews ^ | January 22, 2014 | Steven Ertelt

President Barack Obama issued a statement today celebrating the 41-year-old Roe v. Wade decision that allowed for virtually unlimited abortions. in a written statement, the president said the Roe abortion anniversary is an “opportunity to fulfill dreams.”

The decision, handed down on January 22, 1973, overturned pro-life laws offering protection for unborn children in most states across the country, and made abortions legal and virtually unlimited. Almost 57 million unborn children have been killed in abortions since.

The statement follows:

Today, as we reflect on the 41st anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, we recommit ourselves to the decision’s guiding principle: that every woman should be able to make her own choices about her body and her health. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom. And we resolve to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, support maternal and child health, and continue to build safe and healthy communities for all our children. Because this is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams.

The statement is similar to his 2011 one, which celebrated abortion while trying to stake out a middle position.

For most Americans, the day the Supreme Court handed down its decision was a day to mourn — a day to mourn the loss of tens of millions of unborn children — sons and daughters, brothers and sisters lost to a world that values choice over compassion. It was a day to mourn the damage abortion does to women — the medical problems, the mental health issues, the damaging of relationships with friends and family, and the destruction of relationships with God.

It was a day to mourn the culture of death abortion has brought to our nation and our world. A culture that believes death is a solution for those who are considered too old or too ill. A culture that believes human life is a commodity to be created and manipulated.

Polling data shows Americans are pro-life and few agree with Obama’s unlimited abortion position.

A holocaust of nearly ten times the deaths that the Socialists in Germany caused and it’s called a “dream”???

I guess this is a glimpse into the mind of the extremely twisted Left that call people who believe Science over a political hoax “deniers”.

He is truly brain damaged. That would explain the scars in his head.

“I guess Obama forgets he himself was almost aborted.”
Now there’s something to dream about.

“...mother missed her opportunity...”

Also see my post#15. As you point out-we would all have been Better off. This man who is supposedly such a genius doesn’t even realize that if Roe had been passed several years earlier, Stanley Anne alamost certainly WOULD have aborted. This man (Barry) is a fool.

This is not to say I think abortion is OK - I am rabidly pro life - I don’t even believe in the “rape” exception. The rapist should be murdered instead - not the innocent life that was created - the wrong party is being punished and the violated mother does not feel better when she now commits murder meeting violence with more violence. I am pointing out the utter hypocrisy of Barry Soetero’s attitude and complete lack of logic and depth of thought.

OBAMA’S HIDEOUS MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE POLICY ON ABORTION.

“Obama, the man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family. “

The aborted baby has no opportunity to fulfill a dream.
