Where's the Media?
Published on January 24, 2009 By KFC Kickin For Christ In Current Events

I scanned the newspaper carefully. 

Nope, nothing.  Not a thing about the tens of thousands that marched yesterday on Capitol Hill for the unborn.  These, that care about the unborn children marched together in solidarity were not even given a moment's notice by Obama.  He did not address them in person or by phone. 

I wonder if there were any in the crowd protesting who just days before were cheering at his swearing in party?

"Obama has expressed his support for reducing abortions, but his actions speak louder than his words.  I expect him to be the most aggressively pro-abortion President our nation has ever seen" said Traditional Values Coalition Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.

Instead of participating in this March for Life Obama did the exact opposite as he was expected to sign the Executive Order using my tax dollars to kill unborn children around the world.  I'm angry about that. 

I can't help but think back in history when two other Executive Orders (EO) were handed down to kill all the male babies under the age of two (Moses and Christ)  who were thought to be a threat to the present administration.  Both times a redeemer was born and managed to sneak by the EO and eventually take down the murderous and wicked administrations.  Perhaps we are looking at the same sort of thing.  It's not that it's unexpected since a Redeemer has promised to return when the "fullness of the Gentiles" was finished.   Time will tell.

The day before this March for Life 105 Republican leaders sent a letter to President Obama asking that he withdraw his pledge to sign "The Freedom of Choice Act."    This Act will undermine all state abortion laws. 

Here's the letter.

Dear Mr. President,

Since the beginning of your presidential transition, Americans from all walks of life have been touched by your pledge to govern from the center, and by your vow to be a president for all Americans. We are writing to respectfully urge you to build on this foundation by withdrawing your pledge to sign the so-named Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would in one tragic act overturn virtually all pro-life laws nationwide, and by refusing to support legislation that incrementally enacts the FOCA agenda by rescinding or weakening existing pro-life laws piece by piece.

On January 22, our nation will mark the 36th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. Since Roe v. Wade, many laws – including laws to prevent federal taxpayer funding for abortion – have been enacted to mitigate the effects of the decision on unborn babies and their mothers. We hope that you would support the continuation of these laws and would oppose initiatives such as FOCA, which is more radical than the Roe v. Wade decision.

Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, recently warned FOCA "would deprive the American people in all fifty states of the freedom they now have to enact modest restraints and regulations on the abortion industry, [and] coerce all Americans into subsidizing and promoting abortion with their tax dollars." It would "have lethal consequences for prenatal human life [and] an equally destructive effect on the freedom of conscience of doctors, nurses and health care workers whose personal convictions do not permit them to cooperate in the private killing of unborn children," threatening health care institutions and charities throughout the country, he noted. Enacting FOCA or overturning existing policies would have the same effect. We ask that you reject this divisive agenda.

During the campaign you talked about reducing abortions. The Freedom of Choice Act would do the opposite. By overturning laws that require parental notification or consent before a minor girl obtains an abortion, the abortion rate will increase. A recent study by Dr. Michael J. New showed that when a state enacts a parental involvement law, the minor abortion rate falls by 19 to 31 percent.

Also, advocates on both sides of the abortion debate agree that longstanding provisions that restrict funding for abortions reduce the number of abortions dramatically. A recent study by Heather D. Boonstra appearing in the Guttmacher Policy Review showed that 18 to 35 percent of Medicaid patients who would have had an abortion carry their babies to term when Medicaid will not pay for their abortion. Restrictions on funding for abortion save lives and protect the consciences of millions of Americans who do not want their tax dollars to be used to destroy innocent human life.

You have expressed a desire to be a president for all Americans, and to use your presidency to promote initiatives that bring Americans together, rather than drive them apart. We recognize it will not always be easy for you to do this. However, too much is at stake for this divisive and destructive legislation to move forward and life-saving laws to be rolled back. We respectfully urge you to withdraw your pledge to sign FOCA, and that you pledge not to sign legislation that incrementally enacts FOCA by rescinding existing pro-life laws and legal protections.

Sincerely,

Here's  more news of the media repressing anything that's pro-life. Turns out NBC nixed running a pro-life-affirming  ad, "Celebrating Life's Potential" during the Super Bowl  saying it's not interested to run anything that involves "political advocacy or issues".....but get this  it seems PETA (an advocacy group!!) submitted an ad and NBC said edit out the sexuality and we'll air it.
