Was the new president hiding the bad news for unborn babies?

Last Friday was the new president hiding from Americans the fact that more unborn babies will die because he decided to do away with President Ronald Reagan's Mexico City Policy (also supported by both President Bush 41 and President 43 )? If a politician wants to suppress a story -- maybe to try to maintain the support of some of the young evangelical voters who voted for him in the election -- he releases a press release late on Friday evenings so not many television viewers and newspaper readers will notice the story the next day.

Last Friday, Barack Obama signed an executive order -- with no fanfare after newspaper and television network deadlines had passed -- to do away with the Mexico City Policy which prohibited groups like Planned Parenthood International -- that do abortions or promote abortions -- from receiving American tax dollars. Did he do so because he did not want to be surrounded in the Oval Office by pro-abortion groups which supported his candidacy while he signed the executive order?

The leader of the Republicans in the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, is absolutely right when he said about Obama's doing away with President Reagan's Mexico City Policy: "President Obama’s decision to overturn the longstanding Mexico City Policy lifts our prohibition against providing assistance to foreign organizations that perform or promote abortion. I have long supported the Mexico City Policy and believe this administration’s decision to be counter to our nation’s interests.”

Unfortunately, Obama's abolishing Reagan's Mexico City Policy, is only the first of many anti-life policies and legislation which will probably come to fruition during the next few years. Undoubtedly, if two of the older Supreme Court justices retire -- such as Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- Obama will replace them with very pro-abortion justices. Obama promised his supporters his very first act would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) which would overturn ALL restrictions on abortions including the federal law and state laws against the heinous procedure called partial-birth abortion. Thankfully, even the Democrat Congress has not passed such legislation yet.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is talking about boosting family planning funding by almost a quarter of a billion dollars each year. Planned Parenthood of America already receives hundreds of millions of American tax dollars each year and kills up to a third of unborn babies in America. Human embryonic stem cell research will undoubtedly be funded with American tax dollars for the first time in history this year. These are just a few of the many pro-abortion bills likely to be brought up by the Democrats during the 111th Congress.

Last week, Americans participated in pro-life marches, including to the United States Supreme Court in Washington D.C. on the 36th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which has resulted in the deaths of nearly 50 million unborn babies, 37% of whom were black babies. The culture of death has returned to America and Americans need to pray that it comes to an end.
