President Obama on Friday lifted a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
This is just the beginning of the bad news for those who value tiny lives. It promises to get much, much worse as this president's radical views meet his newfound executive power backed by a partisan Congress.
When my eyes met this news item my stomach literally turned. I am so grieved at what this does and what is before us.
The Associated Press said, "Obama signed it quietly, without coverage by the media, late on Friday afternoon, a contrast to the midday signings with fanfare of executive orders on other subjects earlier in the week."
Charmaine Yoest, President & CEO of AUL Action, said, "What a terrible way to begin a new administration: with an abortion business bailout that will exploit women in developing countries for political ends. We should not export the tragedy of abortion to other nations, and we certainly shouldn't do so via the hard-earned dollars of American taxpayers."
