Current Events: January 2009 Archives

In a sign that Obama may be willing to compromise, the president told Democrats to jettison from the package family planning funds for low-income people. Republicans have criticized the provision as an example of wasteful spending that would neither create jobs nor otherwise improve the economy.

What is WRONG With This Woman?!?

Don't we want a better economy for the for a better life for the people of society? How is eliminating people a help? I don't understand how spending tax dollars on abortion overseas and on contraception is an economical stimulus. Answer is It's not.

There were 300,000 at the March for Life this year. There were so many more of us who wanted to be there. Many of us who lived too far, or were 9 months pregnant, or had families of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 children (who are being raised pro-life) to tend to at home, or husbands who had to work...How many bodies would have been there if we all could have gone.

Doesn't matter, it still wouldn't get any coverage...

"Change We Can Bereave In"

The Curt Jester blogs:

Yesterday we were not giving money to organizations overseas that provided abortions, today we are - Change.

Yesterday before noon the official White House site did not promote abortion, now it does - Change.

Yesterday we had a President that did not consider that the question of human life was above his paygrade, now we do - Change

Yesterday we had a President who signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, today we have a President who voted for infanticide - Change

This is all true so that makes it "Change we can believe in"...

...From whitehouse.gov

* Supporting Stem Cell Research: President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that we owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, which will allow research of human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated (with consent) from in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos must be deemed in excess and created based solely for the purpose of fertility treatment.

Well in this evil they were one with Sen. McCain. No mention of human cloning though, but he did vote for clone and kill research before.

* Supports a Woman's Right to Choose: President Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Adminstration. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in that case.

First I guess they need to raise taxes to afford a spellchecker. Once again we get "abortion is a divisive issue" however we are going to shove it down your throat anyway. Robbery is a divisive issue, now hand over your wallet.

* Preventing Unintended Pregnancy: President Obama was an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand access to contraception, health information, and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies. Introduced in January 2007, the Prevention First Act will increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods. The Act will also end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims.

As if people don't have enough access to contraception here. I guess they consider having to pay for it yourself is a lack of access. Of course compassionate assistance to rape victims does not mean checking to see if they are pregnant first before using an abortafacient like Plan B. The rapist does not get the death penalty, but the innocent person who might be the result of the evil of rape must die.

I wish I could add some more intelligent commentary, but as usual, someone beat me to it. CJ summed up my thoughts and feelings on current events much better than I could at the moment.

I'm sure there is more to come. Praying the for president and his family and I hope the choices he makes in the next four years are the right ones.
