    Today, three days into his presidency, with the quiet stroke of a pen, Obama signed an executive order reversing the ban on funding overseas organizations who provide and promote abortion. This is the same president who wants all children to reach their full potential. That would be funny, if it weren't so tragically sad !!

    True, but this is the kind of thing we can come to expect from Obama.

    Interesting how he does it on Friday afternoon, w/o cameras, and w/ as little fanfare as possible. They are hoping it gets lost in the pages of the Saturday paper so as to draw as little media attn as possible.

    In contrast, he signed the ethics order on Wed in front of cameras. A typical, bipartisan type order that garners brownie points. Funny thing though, he has already asked for an exception to his own order! I guess his own rules don't apply to him.

    1) Reverse the ban (FOCA) (so much for states' rights)
    2) End "Don't ask, don't tell"
    3) Close Gitmo


    It's good to see our fears where overblown. ;)

    It's also nice to know that the Obama supporters who said this wouldn't happen were right. ;)

    What's next?

    It's great to know we're addressing our economy first! :thumb:

    I wonder if he has ever given any thought to the fact, that if such laws existed in his mothers time, HE probably wouldn't EXIST! :dis:

    So do most of you think that abortion is murder, regardless of when it is done?

    What makes you think his mother probably would've had an abortion?

    Typical spin...

    I love the bumper sticker that says "Your mother was pro-life". No, she isn't - she chose to have me.

    Mothers that have abortions probably wouldn't be the best mothers at that time anyway. Those kids would be the ones least likely to reach their full potential.
