Last Friday, President Barack Obama lifted the Ban on U.S. funding of overseas abortions. "For the past eight years, (the restrictions) have undermined efforts to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning in developing counties." stated Obama. It never ceases to amuse me how pro-choice groups continually refer to abortions as "family planning". They make it sound like they're planning a vacation for you and your child, not promoting a medical procedure where a doctor cuts up a mother's unborn baby into some weird type of sushi. That President Obama lifted the restrictions is no surprise to me. What does surprise me is the timing of the decision. With America on the brink of financial collapse you would assume that President Obama's primary concern would be getting the economy back on track. Instead Obama has decided to reinstate a program that will cost American taxpayers over $400 million dollars a year. With American workers getting laid off in droves, and wondering where their next pay check will come from, this seems like a very odd move for President Obama to make.
