"The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do." - Barack Obama, July 17th, 2007
That's what Barack Obama promised Planned Parenthood in a speech last year - and he's already appointing radical liberals to his administration to help do the job: * Ellen Moran - Executive Director at the radical pro-abortion group Emily's List, will serve as White House Communications Director * Melody Barnes - Vice President of the left-wing Center for American Progress, will be Obama's top Domestic Policy Advisor * Dawn Johnsen - Legal Director of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) for five years, will be a member of the Department of Justice Review Team * Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle - Opposed eliminating partial-birth abortion, has been named as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services Barack Obama promised to sign FOCA - and we should take him at his word! What is the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA)? In short, FOCA is a federal bill that would end virtually ALL restrictions on abortion. It is an unlimited right to tax-payer funded, abortion-on-demand. What FOCA will mean: * The end to parental notification or consent for abortions performed on minors * Mandated taxpayer funding of abortion * Allowing of abortions in military hospitals * The end of waiting periods before having an abortion * Overturning laws requiring informed consent prior to abortion * Denying doctors the right to refuse to perform abortion for religious reasons * Forcing religious affiliated hospitals and facilities to perform abortions * Overturning many abortion clinic health regulations * Overturning laws prohibiting abortion after the viability of the child * Legalizing partial-birth abortion FOCA would overturn the will of the majority of the American people on each of these issues - and prevent them from passing any further common sense restrictions and regulations on abortion.
