WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers prepare to brave a bitter cold to march to the Supreme Court in Washington Monday afternoon, President Obama has released a statement reaffirming his commitment to the legalized killing of unborn children as a “private family matter.”
In the statement released Saturday, the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Obama celebrated the decision as one “that protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, and affirms a fundamental principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters
“I am committed to protecting this constitutional right.”
While also expressing commitment to programs to help pregnant women, Obama encouraged Americans to pledge fidelity to “to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights, the same freedoms, and the same opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.” Obama released a similar statement on last year’s anniversary.
The pledge comes only days after a Pennsylvania grand jury exposed the gruesome practice of one local abortionist who, according to the jury’s findings, routinely severed the necks of newborn children because he was too unskilled a physician to administer a digoxin injection, a normal means of late-term abortion.
As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama voted against a law that would have protected infants from being killed when born alive during a failed abortion. Pro-life advocates have pointed to these votes, as well as his votes in favor of partial-birth abortion, as evidence of Obamas extremism on abortion.
Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell is now being held without bail for the murder of seven newborn children and one woman who died following a botched abortion. Nine of Gosnell’s clinic workers are also being held by police, four of them on murder charges.
No, it wouldn’t.
That’s why the people keep passing restrictions,
and the courts have to rule against the will of the people.
And may God judge his sorry ass for it.
Obama actively supported infanticide too...
Pure evil!
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
