Obama to Lift Ban on Funding for Groups Providing Abortions Overseas (Mexico City Policy/Alan Keyes]
Fox News ^ | Wednesday, January 21, 2009 | Major Garrett

Posted on 01/21/2009 3:35:28 PM PST by EternalVigilance

President Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.

Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

The policy, known in governmental circles as the "Mexico City policy," requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

The language was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in 1984, and was approved by President Reagan and originally drafted by his assistant secretary of state, Alan Keyes.

Sounds to me a channeling scheme to get money out of the country for the good folks who donated money to his campaign.

Thank you BHO for spending more money we don’t have on barbaric, debased infanticide!!!

No wonder you were supported by the luciferian David Spangler

Abortion has officially become a form of birth control and this is just another bail out at the tax-payers expense.

One more of many times ahead for the social justice crowd.

Change Christians for Obama can believe in.

This is the American imperialism that the Left likes to export - death to the brown babies.

The comment box for the White House is confined to only 500 words. So, without giving you my exact comment, suffice to say that I quoted a line form his own Inaugural Address:
“...and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.”

Then I explained how I did not want my tax $$$ spent on the killing of innocents here or in Mexico or anywhere....by supporting abortion.

You can call the White House too.

I will be swelling with pride come April 15th. Funding murder never felt so good. /S

What is it with these schmucks on the left? It's one thing to claim that some women here in the US might want to kill their baby and that that "choice" should be allowed, but it is quite another thing to go funding this sort of thing around the world.

How can you not believe it? He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do. It can’t be a surprise to anyone. He’s just paying back the organizations that bought him the presidency.

Its heart-wrentching when one mandates, like zero, or when a biological father and/or mother systematically destroy the life of their’s or other’s progeny. The divinity of ensoulment in the mystery of life has been stripped from the gift. The tragedy is enormous.

Alright… (s)

Let’s give the old “one-finger salute” to Uncle Sam’s tax collector. No revenue, no money for them to send overseas. What would they do if half the country refused to file a tax return? Let’s find out. Let’s, for once, call their bluff.

We can collectively tell BHO to screw himself in unspecific terms. In fact, I am going to call the WH every day, and leave that exact message on their comment line: “Hey, President sh*thead, go F yourself!”

Let’s have an open rebellion against the federal government… just like the liberals do.

Let’s stop traffic in the major cities, break windows, roll and torch vehicles… just like liberals do.

Let’s riot in the streets, and burn down a few cities... just like liberals do.

Come on! It will be fun to just “let it all hang out.” I mean… we got to be who we are!

ANARCHY! WE NEED CONSERVATIVE ANARCHY!

That strategy always works for the liberals. Maybe we ought to adopt their tactics.

Let’s start by making their lives a living hell. In fact, rather than do a ‘March for Life’ in D.C., let’s do a March for Madness… a national Bar-B-Q … a Molotov express down Pennsylvania Avenue, right to the Supreme Court. We could give new meaning to the expression “Black robed justice”

Liberals neither respect life, nor law… so why should we? Let’s return the favor.

They like killing the innocent? We can oblige them… especially since they are going to make us fund the operation. I want my full money’s worth! Let’s give them a taste of their own medicine. (/s)

I understand Obama’s thoughts here. You gotta cull the herd or well be over-run with this dang foreign vermin.

Here is my email to the Murderer and Cheat:

Hello, Mr. “President,” no actually it is ... KING Herod. So, now you are ready to proceed with your planned genocide. I understand the first target on your list will be all the little black babies overseas. Well, as messiah, I guess you need to assert your divine power over life and death, eh? To bad your mom did not feel the same way.

We can make them pay for it on April 15. DO NOT FILE AN INCOME TAX RETURN. IF 100 million Americans tell the IRS to shove it up their fascist ass, what are they going to do? Tell BHO to go screw himself.
