Barack Obama, Pro-Life President? [Barf Alert]
Time ^ | Amy Sullivan

We already know that Obama plans to officially announce Joshua DuBois' appointment to be director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships tomorrow, as well as the unveiling of his newly-formed Presidential Advisory Council of the same name. But I'm told by a religious leader who will be part of the Council that the president also plans to lay out four priorities for the Council. They will include focusing on global poverty (not surprising), the impact of economic recovery plans on low-income Americans (ditto), the faith-based initiative (OF COURSE), and...abortion reduction.

Now that's interesting.

Obama hinted at this in the statement that accompanied his order rescinding the Mexico City policy: "It is time we end the politicization of this issue. In the coming weeks, my Administration will initiative a fresh conversation on family planning, working to find areas of common ground to best meet the needs of women and families at home and around the world." At the time, I heard a lot of scoffing from conservatives who read this as just talk. It seems, however, that the president is ready to move ahead on this issue more quickly than most people on either side expected

If by pro-life she means the most radical pro-baby killing president ever, then yeah Obama is pro-life.

Wanting to “reduce the number of abortions” is the standard answer given by ‘RATS like Obama. It means absolutely nothing.

“Pro”, in the legal sense of “for”, means PRESIDENT-FOR-LIFE...

He is pro-life. He’s doing his best to keep the Marxist, Communist, Socialist, and terrorist efforts alive in the U.S.

Oh... that pro-life. Yeah, well we can write that one off can’t we.

So her new religion is Hussein, and every night she kneels before his picture and prays to the Magic Negro. How nice...

By ‘abortion reduction’ Obama means more money for sex ed classes, more oral contraceptives and more condoms. Maybe he doesn’t realize that the biggest problem with all that is that those things are already available, but that teenagers, and many adults, just won’t USE them!

Pro-life, meaning the mothers still want to “have a life” after not using birth control effectively.

I am now fully convinced that Obama is the most pro-life President ever because this Time magazine author told me so (most extreme sarcasm).

What would this misguided woman think of if/when Obama signs the Freedom Of Choice Act?
