President Barack Obama issued a statement today celebrating the 41-year-old Roe v. Wade decision that allowed for virtually unlimited abortions. in a written statement, the president said the Roe abortion anniversary is an “opportunity to fulfill dreams.”
The decision, handed down on January 22, 1973, overturned pro-life laws offering protection for unborn children in most states across the country, and made abortions legal and virtually unlimited. Almost 57 million unborn children have been killed in abortions since.
The statement follows:
Today, as we reflect on the 41st anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, we recommit ourselves to the decision’s guiding principle: that every woman should be able to make her own choices about her body and her health. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom. And we resolve to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, support maternal and child health, and continue to build safe and healthy communities for all our children. Because this is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams.
The statement is similar to his 2011 one, which celebrated abortion while trying to stake out a middle position.
For most Americans, the day the Supreme Court handed down its decision was a day to mourn — a day to mourn the loss of tens of millions of unborn children — sons and daughters, brothers and sisters lost to a world that values choice over compassion. It was a day to mourn the damage abortion does to women — the medical problems, the mental health issues, the damaging of relationships with friends and family, and the destruction of relationships with God.
It was a day to mourn the culture of death abortion has brought to our nation and our world. A culture that believes death is a solution for those who are considered too old or too ill. A culture that believes human life is a commodity to be created and manipulated.
Polling data shows Americans are pro-life and few agree with Obama’s unlimited abortion position.
Dreams of murdering innocent babies and having it condoned by the law...
This is no dream, it’s a nightmare. http://www.abortionno.org/wp-content/gallery/abortion-pictures/10_weeks-09_medium.jpg
Stunning how the left openly espouses infanticide.
...but the kid has no choice. I guess Obama forgets he himself was almost aborted when his fathers family told him they didn't approve of his white wife.
41 Years of murdering innocent babies. I guess that’s something that commie ‘RATS would be proud of. The Party of Death is like that.
====================================================
LATE TERM ABORTION WORSHIPPERS IN THE WH---In February 2004, US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from performing p/b abortions (stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls).
Michelle Obama considers partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and asked supporters for $150 to attend a luncheon for her candidate husband, b/c he would fight against "cynical ploys" to stop p/b sbortions.
(NOTE: nurses at an Illinois hospital in 1999 discovered babies were being aborted alive and placed on shelves in soiled utility rooms to die unattended.)
BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.
BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the US House.
NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.
But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama articulately asserted that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights.
In 2003, as chairman of the next state Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion chambers.
(NOTE As chair of that same committee, state Sen Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses-for-bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life license plate legislation. Obama stalled. He later killed the bill when no one was around.)
Indeed. Infanticide/abortions and sodomy ultimately go together. They’re both pro-death and anti-creation of life and anti-natural family.
An opportunity for psychopaths like Kermit Gosnell to fulfill his dream of getting rich by murdering babies.
Mr. President, you cannot “celebrate” the murder 57 million of our own offspring, and not expect consequences. Horrific consequences. We’re living them every day in the form of children murdering other children. In their schools, and on the street. Every day. If life means nothing to us. It means nothing them.
Hey, you too can be a murderer...just like your President.
I use to work at Flushing (ironic name) hospital in New York city in the 1980s as a porter and use to see that kind of stuff allllll the time. Probably the worst being a baby that seemed full term and the doctor had him on a table and was measuring him while talking in a tape recorder, then threw the kid in a red hazmat bag and that was that and I remember thinking: “What if that kid grew up and became a scientist who found a cure for cancer”, just really evil evil vibes about the whole thing. I don’t know if it was an abortion or a still birth, but still, it’s just as evil as it gets. Everything is red...the kid, the bag, the towel, the floor, just real Nazi stuff Josef Mengele stuff and then they would make me clean up the aftermath and throw out the bags. That was one of the worst jobs I ever had, all the AIDS patients I had to clean their bathrooms and I don’t even want to describe what that was like. Freakin’ nurses would refuse to go in their rooms out of fear of catching AIDS so the patients would be going through absolute hell all day.
American abortion genocide population void has in part been filled by illegal aliens.
Then I think about abortion, and I know they can't. It's just selfishness.
Too bad Stanley Anne didn’t partake.
How about the dreams of the unborn children?
"Everyone" obviously does not include unborn human beings. Since he is a proponent of killing babies intended to be aborted but born alive, the "everyone" doesn't even include born babies in all circumstances. There is no word to describe this ...'hypocrisy' isn't even close and lately, 'evil' isn't cutting it any more either.
Waht about the baby's body and health?
it is a dream come true to murder your own baby?
