FOCA

Let me in on the secret

I have at least three friends–who are pro-life stalwarts and really love Obama. I want to know what they know.

Read this in yesterday’s Post.

President-elect Barack Obama has pledged to unite the country, but a promise he has made on abortion rights threatens to fan the flames of a ferocious culture war and herald “one of the most divisive periods in American history.” Mr. Obama said during his campaign that one of his first acts as president would be to sign into law the Freedom of Choice Act, a bill that both supporters and opponents say would go far beyond the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, which made abortion legal in 1973.

I don’t personally believe the first act Obama signs will be the Freedom of Choice Act, as he has said it will be. If it is, with all that is going on in the world, then he’s a fool. And while I’m sure Obama is not pro-life, I’m also sure he’s not a fool.

Fight FOCA

There’s a web site that’s sprung up to fight the Freedom of Choice Act. I wasn’t really aware of what FOCA would do–it’s a promise the President-elect made to Planned Parenthood.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide.

FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.

Sounds like an incursion into state jurisdiction to me.
