We need to stop Obama on FOCA! All state rights on the matter of abortion will be removed/invalidated by FOCA.

For the babies, "The Little Ones."

**He’s not a fanatic about abortion; he’s what lies beyond fanaticism. He’s the end product of hard-line support for abortion: a man for whom the very question of abortion seems unreal. The opponents of abortion are, for Obama, not to be compromised with or even fought with, in a certain sense. They are, rather, to be explained away as a sociological phenomenon—their pro-life view something that will wither away as they gradually come to understand the true causes of the economic and social bitterness they have, in their undereducated and intolerant way, attached to abortion. **

 

 

Obama is so brazeb abd manipulative.

Contact your representives and senators to say that you do not approve of FOCA.

U. S. Senate

U. S. House of Representatives

The Pro Life Movement needs to rise up now and stop the three or four appointments to the SCOTUS that Obama will likely have during his presidency.

Obama’s mother had some tough times. If she had aborted, then all Obama’s worshipers wouldn’t have had him.

[Salvation]

Absolutely!

If that were the case, we would have Hillary.

I think it is time for all (not just Catholics) who believe that "The Little Ones" should not be killed by abortion, contact the local bishops in their areas and ask them to individually speak out against FOCA.

Bishops listed by Diocese

Bishops by Name

And the one I like best: Bishops listed by state

Reminds me of the bumper sticker

Aren't you glad your mother didn't have an abortion?

[Friendofgeorge]

“New age Christians” (oxymoron) like Rick Warren and Joel Osteen are leading the way AGAINST the Pro life movement IMHO!

They have successfully clouded the issue, that has lead to Christians backsliding to their way of seeing things.

[Salvation]

What you are saying makes sense.......I hadn’t thought about it that way.

[Friendofgeorge]

To bad Hillary`s mother was not pro choice!

[Friendofgeorge]

The Pope could have called a press conference and said....Catholics in the USA must not vote for any candidate that is not pro life!! He could have said there is no place for pro choice/pro abortion positions in the Catholic Church! He could have laid down the law and said that pro choice Catholics are not welcome in the Church!!!

Why did he not do this??? He did not!!!

Obama has no power to implement FOCA because it will never be passed by Congress. If/when it is reintroduced in the new session of Congress, it will die in committee (again) along with the thousands of other crazy bills that Congresscritters introduce every year.

State of heresy, apostacy, in some cases...

We are withholding our Diocesan Appeal for the first time in our lives (as well as other means) as a protest against a bishop that had promise and then submerged himself into a bankrupt diocese.

The Freedom of Choice Act currently before Congress is as extreme a measure as the nation has ever seen, invalidating for the entire country all restrictions on abortion before viability, including parental notification, waiting periods, and partial-birth abortion bans. Obama was one of its sponsors in the Senate, and in July he announced at a Planned Parenthood event that “the first thing I’d do, as president, is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing that I’d do.”

It's easy for him to say he'd sign it, but it has to make it to his desk, first. This is when the rubber meets the road for all those supposedly pro-life Democrats recruited by Rahm Emmanuel in 2004, 2006 and 2008. If they support FOCA, the Republicans can hammer them in the 2010 elections, if they don't it won't ever pass, and Obama won't have it to sign.

FOCA could be dead in the water. However, some of its provisions will be enacted through other legislation, and this deserves intense attention and opposition.

[SuziQ]

The Pope won’t involve himself in particular national politics. He’s told the Bishops, in no uncertain terms, the Church standing on the issues. It’s up to them to guide the Catholics in their Dioceses. If they’re not doing their jobs, they will be held accountable by the Lord, who said something about millstones, didn’t He?

[informavoracious]

It would have done no good. Pro-abortion “Catholics” see the Pope as a doddering figurehead with no real authority and mock the Magisterium. These “Catholics” think they know better.

[Salvation]

I pray that you are right.
