It’s obvious to even the most casual observer that Sen. Obama’s views are pro-abortion.

But that also begs the question. So what has the GOP done to end the practice? Other than mouthing the words that we all want to hear? Years of GOP control produced little if any forward movement in ending the killing of unborn babies. So why should I or any of those who are pro-creation spend our time and treasure to support them?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Don’t get me wrong. I won’t vote for and won’t support a pro-abortion politician. There are some things that simply aren’t going to happen. But just because one of the major parties is generally pro-abortion does not necessarily mean that the other party is going to actually do anything to end the practice.

When abortion ends in this country, it won’t be because of the actions of judges or politicians. It will be because American women will refuse to be a party to the death of their unborn children.

The Federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act was introduced primarily by Republicans. http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_aliv.htm Santorum (R-PA) introduced it in the Senate.

Countless babies saved by this action of a Republican president, not to mention our tax dollars not funding abortions in other nations. McCain will continue this, Obama will reverse it, as Clinton did when he came into office.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

SUBJECT: Restoration of the Mexico City Policy

The Mexico City Policy announced by President Reagan in 1984 required nongovernmental organizations to agree as a condition of their receipt of Federal funds that such organizations would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations. This policy was in effect until it was rescinded on January 22, 1993.

It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortions or advocate or actively promote abortion, either here or abroad. It is therefore my belief that the Mexico City Policy should be restored. Accordingly, I hereby rescind the “Memorandum for the Acting Administrator of the Agency for International Development, Subject: AID Family Planning Grants/Mexico City Policy,” dated January 22, 1993, and I direct the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development to reinstate in full all of the requirements of the Mexico City Policy in effect on January 19, 1993.
