Stopping Obama from terminating the Hyde Amendment and Signing FOCA

 

If Presient-elect Obama and the pro-abortion Congress get their way, the next four years willObama and Baby Image not be very good for unborn human beings.  As you see, Obama signed an executive orders that destroy innocent human life.

Executive orders President-elect Obama has signed:

  • Reverse Mexico City Policy, a pro-life policy forbidding money from going to groups overseas that promote abortion.

Executive orders President-elect Obama will signed:

  • Reverse Bush decision and allow federal funding for destructive embryonic stem-cell research.

Pro-abortion legislative initiatives to defend against:

  • The termination of the Hyde Amendment, a provision that restricts the direct federal funding of abortion via tax-dollars.
  • Passage of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), a measure that would lead to the greatest expansion of abortion since 1973.  It would enshire abortion as a "fundamental right" and not allow even a State Legislature like Louisiana to pass any law restricting it.  Specifically, FOCA would:
    • Make Partial-Birth abortion legal again.
    • Invalidate all state pro-life laws restricting abortion, including parental consent.
In both these instances, Senator Mary Landrieu will be a key vote because of her role as a "moderate" Democrat.  Pro-life Louisianians must educate their fellow citizens about these two measure and encourage Senator Landrieu to "save Hyde and stop FOCA"!
