Obama's first act as president
WorldNetDaily ^ | 01-12-09 | Chuck Norris

Posted on 01/12/2009 7:49:01 AM PST by prismsinc

Obama emphatically promised more than a year ago 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." Will Obama keep his word?

The Freedom of Choice Act, or FOCA, is a sweeping bill that would abolish all pro-life regulations across the nation, from parental notification laws to bans on federal funding of abortion. The Office of the General Counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has identified 13 categories of pro-life laws that would be stampeded and nullified by FOCA. As far reaching as the decision of Roe v. Wade is into the states' jurisdictions and our lives, even it, for example, showed certain respects for state laws and limits on infringing regulations in the medical fields. FOCA shows no such restraints, but nails shut the coffin on pro-life choices and safeguards.

And why has Obama pledged his allegiance to pass FOCA? Not only because he has the most passionately liberal pro-choice record of nearly any politician, but, as he told a meeting of Planned Parenthood during his campaign, "it is time to turn the page" to a new day when pro-life views, laws and debate on abortion are passé. And if he and the Democratic majority have their way, America will have that new day, one in which hundreds of thousands of more abortions will be performed annually. I still think it is utterly hypocritical that a president and a political party that pride themselves on providing and protecting minorities don't include the unborn among them.

Because he has pledged his allegiance to Satan.

Talked to our Pastor about this yesterday. He said the Bishops will close the hospitals rather than perform abortions. With 25% of all hospital beds in buildings with the name Saint on them I would say, you want a healthcare crisis? I’ll give you one.

but...but,... he SAYS he’s against abortion!

I know libs who actually BELIEVE that he’s against abortion. Why? -Because he SAID so! Then, when you point out his voting record on the issue they wave it off and say, “I don’t know about that... He SAYS he’s against abortion and I believe him!...”

And Pat Robertson will say this is the right thing to do at this time in history. He heard it from God.

The ONLY good thing that might come of this is that when FOCA is enacted, the blind pro-life followers of Obama will not be able to plead ignorance on his radical pro-abortionism.

They will just ignore it and keep on supporting him.

I’d like to be able to believe that Obama “throwing down the gauntlet” like that would cause a backlash that would destroy his alleged presidency. I am a Catholic and I hope the Bishops would follow through and close the hospitals. The thing which is held over the heads of the Bishops is the “tax-exempt” status which can be used to force submission. My dream is that the Bishops would defy the administration on that. I think the Church would win on that in the secular sense, but, even if they didn’t, they’d still have the larger spiritual victory.

Obama has chosen the Episcopal Church’s first openly homosexual bishop, Gene Robinson to lead his inaugural prayer.

Attention Liberals; attention Muslim Messiah; attention Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the corrupt Royals in DC; attention all the brainwashed fools hawking Obama photos, coins, flags, posters, and the rest of their God-like worshipping trinkets:

God’s First Commndment:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have NO other gods before me.”

All the Hussein Obama worshippers have forsaken God for their Liberal false god. They can answer to God for themselves, but I resent their destroying the rest of us.

The vast majority of abortions are committed by liberal democRAT woman, especially black woman. He is advocating the killing of his own constituency. So let him proceed.

FOCA would protect the sex/porn/abortion industry to which Obama is deeply committed. Nobody who seriously cared about women would suggest that abortuaries need not pass a health inspection; that women in crisis need not know how far along in their pregnancy; or need not discuss their decision with an actual physician, much less that a minor’s parent should be consulted about a potentially deadly procedure when the school cannot give her an aspirin without permission from Mom or Dad.

Anyone who facilitates the death of the unborn is just as guilty of their murders as the abortionists are.

I simply cannot comprehend how someone could go through life with the blood of innocent children on their hands.

He will decree all first born Christians be slain. Bty, isn’t he a first born and doesn’t he call himself a Christian? Wonder if he ever thought He could have been aborted? I think his very words may come back to bite him in a way that God only knows.
