President-elect Obama Reveals his Position as ‘The abortion President’ with Proposed Executive Order Reversals
November 10, 2008
Washington DC (MetroCatholic) - On Sunday, transition advisors to the President-elect have revealed a potential list of executive orders that Mr. Obama would reverse once he became President.
They include reversing a provision barring international organizations that receive American aid from counseling about the availability of abortions and reversing President Bush’s ban of federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.
The Christian Defense Coalition, along with other faith organizations, warned that if Barack Obama were elected he would be the “most radical pro-abortion President” in American history.
The reversing of these executive orders would offend millions of Americans in the faith community and betrays President-elect Obama’s public statements about building bridges of unity with differing groups and being a President that respects faith and social justice.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, comments, “It was with a profound sense of disappointment that I heard President-elect Obama’s transition advisors publicly talking about reversing some life affirming executive orders once he becomes President.
If Mr. Obama reverses the ‘Mexico City Policy,’ which forbids groups that receive American aid from counseling women about the availability of abortion, it would greatly increase abortions around the world. It would also create a scenario in which American evangelicals and Catholics would be paying for abortion referrals through their tax dollars.
If President-elect Obama reverses this policy, it would show a complete and blatant disregard for the faith values of millions of American Christians as well as expanding the violence and tragedy of abortion worldwide. America should be exporting justice and human rights not brutality and violence.
Is this what President-elect Obama means by hope and change?
By reversing the ban on federal funds being used for embryonic stem cell research, Mr. Obama again shows a lack of respect for social justice and the deeply held beliefs of millions in the faith community. Embryonic stem cell research is the tragic destroying of human life and with modern breakthroughs in stem cell research is no longer needed. We invite President-elect Obama to step into the world of modern medical technology and move away from archaic barbaric medical practices.
We warned America that if Barck Obama were elected he would be ‘The Abortion President.’ Sadly, that appears to be the case. Since these decisions have not been made, we invite the faith community and all people of good will to pray that President-elect Obama will embrace a culture of life and stand for social justice and equality for all.
We also invite the pro-life community to come to Washington, D.C. on January 21-24, 2009 to be part of ‘The Birmingham Letter Project’ in which people will be able to participate in a prayerful and prophetic witness for life.”

Congrats US Catholic Bishops! You were sucessful in getting your man Obama into the White House. Now prepare to reap the consequences. Real Catholics should be ashamed at all of this.
If this comes to pass then the blood of the unborn will be on the hands of Americas Pro-Choice Catholic Bishops for their silence. How many of us heard from our clergy about this man. The Catholic Vote in this country is disgraceful!
Please Holy Father, Please let us hear from you! Your Shepherds in this country have lost their way.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls into heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy. Amen.
Trying times are coming…not only is B. Obama the “abortion president” , he seems to be the “anti-free speech president”…(note the efforts to squelch ‘talk radio’ programs…what else comes?…Perhaps the beginning of the end of life as we know it….God bless America
Obama may be our new president, but God is always our King. We must put all hope and faith in God and His plan for our nation. Somehow, a greater good will result. Just keep praying.
Father, forgive them for they know exactly what they have done. God willing We Will Overcome….Amen !!

The posted comments blaming the election of Mr. Obama on our Catholic Bishops are amazing. The Bishops were the most vocal during this time than at any other election. The amount of public teaching, preaching, writing, etc. that they produced in favor of life was, or should have been, overwhelming. Obviously, people weren’t listening, and the mainstream media that you all were watching had no vested interest in reporting their words. The blame for Mr. Obama’s election lies with a deceived electorate; and yes, we will pay a price for it.
I’d say that some of the US Bishops did some good work this election, more than in the past. But it was too little, too late. We’re going to need a lot more than a few sermons right before the election. We’re going to need consistent teaching on a whole range of matters - abortion, homosexuality and above all, on birth control. The rejection of Humanae Vitae by the faithful is the key reason that we’re in this mess. Once the teaching of Humanae Vitae is understood people cannot still support the whole range of behaviors that are destroying our society.
Jim and Nick, how ignorant to suggest that the US Catholic Bishops ever supported Obama or a pro-abortion position…
They are the most vocal defenders of life and have explicitly said that a Catholic can not in good conscience vote for a candidate who supports abortion when there is an alternative…
I’m sorry…that was to Jerry and Rob…not Jim and Nick…my apologies
Well, what can we do, now that we’ve allowed Obama into the White House? I believe the answer is to pray and ask God to change his heart towards the unborn, and also contact him and other elected officials and let them know we see what his plans are and we don’t approve. We still have a voice, and our voice needs to be heard now more than ever!
