Our Taxes Will Now Pay for Abortions Abroad... Again!

Nancy Pelosi believes it will also help the economy. Or at least she says she believes birth control will help the economy. I have a hard time believing even she is that stupid!

Pelosi: Birth Control Will Stimulate the Economy


"Obama condemned for expanding taxpayer funded abortions" (Interjections and bold are mine)

WASHINGTON - As he promised during the election campaign, Barack Obama on Friday struck down a ban against taxpayer funded abortions abroad.

Obama's move was warmly welcomed by liberal groups and denounced by defenders of unborn children. But wait a minute! Aren't liberals supposed to be for the weak and defenseless? Ha!

The ban has been a political football between Democratic and Republican administrations since GOP President Ronald Reagan first adopted it 1984. Democrat Bill Clinton ended the ban in 1993, but Republican George W. Bush re-instituted it in 2001 as one of his first acts in office.

"For too long, international family planning assistance has been used as a political wedge issue, the subject of a back and forth debate that has served only to divide us," Obama said in a statement released by the White House. "I have no desire to continue this stale and fruitless debate." Translation: I'm going to help people kill the unborn and there will be no more talking about it!

"In the coming weeks, my administration will initiate a fresh conversation on family planning, working to find areas of common ground to best meet the needs of women and families at home and around the world," the president said. I thought he said there would be no more discussions on this subject.

Obama issued the presidential memorandum rescinding the Bush policy without coverage by the media, late Friday afternoon.

"President Obama not long ago told the American people that he would support policies to reduce abortions, but today he is effectively guaranteeing more abortions by funding groups that promote abortion as a method of population control," said Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee.

I find it interesting that President Obama signed this bill without media coverage. I wonder if he understands that Babies know language in the womb! For instance does he know that:

BABIES begin to learn their mother tongue in the womb and can recognise a foreign language within days of birth, scientists say.

They have astonishing powers of memory, facial recognition speeds not far short of adults and the ability to 'see through' magicians, research shows.

Within four days of birth, babies can distinguish between the language used by their mother and foreign tongues, psychology lecturer Dr Todd Bailey said yesterday.

Experiments show that a baby sucks harder and faster while feeding when its attention is captivated, he told the British Association's annual festival of science in London.

When the baby hears a woman speaking its mother's language, its attention is first kept and then wanes. But when the same woman starts speaking in another language the baby's interest is caught once again, he said.

'We think that the baby hears the sound of the mother's voice in the womb, even though it is heavily filtered, and takes in the speech rhythms of the mother tongue, especially during the last five months of gestation,' said Dr Bailey, of Cardiff University.

'When the baby hears a different language he or she finds it more interesting and we can tell this by the change in sucking.'

Unfortunately for the most part I waste my time and energy. Nothing I can say or do will change the minds of those who believe it's okay to kill innocent babies. Pro abortionists deny that babies in the womb are even human, which of course makes it easier to kill them, and Partial Birth Abortion is a cruel procedure beyond my ability to describe it, so I'll let an on-line health encyclopedia do it for me. Bold is mine:

Intact D&X, or partial birth abortion first involves administration of medications to cause the cervix to dilate, usually over the course of several days. Next, the physician rotates the fetus to a footling breech position. The body of the fetus is then drawn out of the uterus feet first, until only the head remains inside the uterus. Then, the physician uses an instrument to puncture the base of the skull, which collapses the fetal head. Typically, the contents of the fetal head are then partially suctioned out, which results in the death of the fetus and reduces the size of the fetal head enough to allow it to pass through the cervix. The dead and otherwise intact fetus is then removed from the woman's body.

Compassionate, isn't it? This procedure is so vile it pains my brain to even think about it, but the pro-abortionists have no problem with any of this. I'm going to be taking a hiatus from the internet at the beginning of February to itemize the farm and rental books in order to pay my taxes. Because I know where some of my money is going to wind up it's going to be a painful procedure this year. If it weren't for my husband who would miss me I think I'd just skip it and protest by going to jail!
