Being a typical lib,

he probably thinks you’ll get less of whatever you subsidize.

Like, if we give teenage unwed mothers money to take care of their babies, we’ll have fewer unwed teenage mothers.

Looks like he signed it out of the public eye. It’s signed, sealed and delivered. All this transparency rhetoric was and is crap — I hate cowards. If you’re going to do it, DO IT, and take the heat for it. Another disappointment to add to the rest.

For once, I wish someone would fail to live up to my expectations.

Just like the successful stage magician he will wait until there is something exciting worldwide going on and slip this in under the cover of darkness. Presto...the Chango we are to expect!

Shouldn't it be unconstitutional for a U.S. president to "issue an order" that unborn children in foreign countries be killed with funding from U.S. taxes? Particularly since they are deprived of life without due process of law. How could that possibly be legal or constitutional?

Does anyone else find it very creepy that this president is so eager to fund killing unborn children in foreign countries with U.S. tax dollars???

Yes. I also find Obama creepy.

I am going to pray that perhaps somehow, he’s had a change of heart. Maybe some of our prayers made it through.

I might be disappointed later, but for now, I’m glad he’s postponing an evil decision.

"Why should ANY U.S. tax dollars fund abortions abroad? Does that make ANY sense? Anyone here want to try to defend that as the U.S. sinks in national debt?"

Better to spend tax dollars to send "abortions" overseas, one-way, like Tom Daschle, Chuckie Schumer, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi ...

It’s no creepier than the zealous bloodlust with which the left insisted on killing Terri Schiavo.

There is no doubt in my mind - liberals do the bidding of Satan, most of them willingly, the rest are just useful idiots.

You beat me to that question. Even if abortion was right, which it ain’t, why are we paying for some foreigner to have one? The way these politicians squander our money is going to make my head explode one day.
You have old people choosing between food and medicine right here in this country. No, I’m not advocating government health care, just letting our people keep more of their hard-earned money to pay for their own.

Yep. It’s right at the end of that article. But since the article is mostly about Gitmo and security matters, maybe they got it wrong?

Meantime, if Obama gets congress to pass a bill and then signs it, that could be even worse, since it will be harder to undo, as this article points out. That way he shares the blame. And I’m not sure if there are enough Republican votes to stall it.

Well, that’s interesting! Maybe it was our prayers.

Actually, I think Obama and his handlers were surprised by how firm the bishops were in opposing his abortion plans and I think he wants to defuse the issue now. He’ll do it tomorrow or in a few days, because the NOW hags and a lot of leftist groups want it, but clearly he’s actually a little intimidated by the bishops.

After watching EWTN and seeing all the Catholic clergy and bishops processing out of the National Shrine last night, I can understand why he might be afraid. We’re his only opposition. I hope the bishops understand this and remain firm.

I think we are being fuzzed. He’s trying to confuse us.

Just assume he will do
- as he has done in the past
- as he promised his supporters

Hail the Abortionist-in-Chief.

Paging Doug Kmiec and all the other “CINOs” who spent the summer and fall preaching to the rest of us about their NEW Messiah.

The Pope ought to take the excommunications he’s lifting from the Lefebvrian bishops and dump them on these apostates.

One thing for the President, though, I guess this proves he’s really NOT a Muslim - but UCC all the way. The United Church of Christ hasn’t met an abortion yet that it didn’t want to promote!

I don’t understand why we’re sending ANY money overseas for anything of this sort anyway, abortion or no! Have PP send privately-funded condoms overseas if they want to send foreigners birth control, just keep my tax dollars out of it!

It would seem that the transfer of U.S. tax dollars to foreigners abroad for abortions, while American citizens are losing houses to foreclosures and going into debt to pay for college, OUGHT to be unconstitutional and illegal.
This for some population control agenda of a secretive Illuminati cabal that uses the federal government to promote that.

He postponed it for a day or two because of the March for Life rally. He’ll do it soon, make no mistake about it. Now we will see the damage he will do to society.

No ... Bill Clinton did the same thing on this very day. He overturned the previous order. Birds of a feather.
