President Barack Obama announced on Friday afternoon his intentions of rescinding, what has become known as, the Mexcio City Policy. Instated by Ronald Regean, the policy prevented funds to be provided for any international organizations, specifically in developing countries, that provided options for abortions. The policy was overturned by Bill Clinton and was consequently reinstated under George Bush. Read part of Obama's statement from the White House Blog:"I have directed my staff to reach out to those on all sides of this issue to achieve the goal of reducing unintended pregnancies. They will also work to promote safe motherhood, reduce maternal and infant mortality rates and increase educational and economic opportunities for women and girls."Abortions will reduce infant mortality rates? Yes, let's kill babies so that they don't get the chance to die of natural causes; that would just be a trajedy. This just shows you how completely, and often willfully, blind so many people are to the realities of what abortion is.
And how about the terminology used: "international family planning assistance." I can GUARANTEE that there is NO family planning that is going on at these places. The so called family planning agencies in America don't provide real information and options for things other than abortions, why would they be doing that in developing countries? For some reason, I don't suspect little 13 year old Maria from Guatemala, whose barely subsisting, will be informed about how wonderful of an option placing her child up for adoption would be. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
This is a sad reflection of our nation's moral fortitude.
"Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Rev. 22:20)!
