The Most Pro-Abortion Candidate-- Ever

Barack Obama is, without a doubt, the most pro-abortion candidate ever to run for the presidency.

Today, pro-abortion groups were congratulating themselves and each other for the election of Barack Obama and other pro-abortion politicians across the country.

According to CNSNews:

Planned Parenthood, NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) Pro-Choice America, and the Center for Reproductive Rights have each publicly congratulated the new president-elect on his victory.

“NARAL Pro-Choice America worked hard for our slate of pro-choice candidates across the country, including pro-choice Sen. Barack Obama, and that hard work resulted in the reaffirmation of our commitment to the values of freedom and privacy,” Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America said in a statement.

The Center for Reproductive Rights has already sent a letter to the president-elect outlining what they would like to see come out of the Obama White House:

In a three-page letter, the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) asked the president-elect to pursue other specific items on the abortion-rights agenda:

1. To stop funding abstinence-only education programs as part of the in the Title V Maternal-Child Health Block Grant and the Community-Based Abstinence-Education programs. CRR also wants the new administration to appoint agency heads “who will not allow politics to trump science.”

2. To appoint federal judges "committed to supporting established constitutional rights.” Specifically, the letter emphasizes the importance of judges who will preserve “reproductive rights.”

3. To send representatives to the U.N. who will promote abortion and “reproductive rights."

The center also wants Obama to repeal what it calls the “Global Gag Rule” – also known as the Mexico City Policy, a Reagan-era policy that forbids U.S. funding going to support abortion overseas – and to begin again to fund the U.N. Population Fund, a program which the Bush administration stopped funding because it supported forced abortion and sterilization programs overseas.

The abortion rights group asked that the administration direct the new Health and Human Services Secretary to reassess the FDA’s policy restricting over-the-counter access to so-called “emergency contraception.”

To every "pro-lifer" who voted for Barack Obama claiming that he wouldn't be that bad on abortion and that the "good" outweighed the "bad": congratulations you just turned back the clock on the pro-life movement by about 15/20 years.

Great job.

The rest of us will be trying to prevent CRR's wish list from becoming a reality.
