Barack Obama's Promise: No Abortion Left Behind

Let there be no doubt that Obama pledges to do everything in his power not only to keep abortion the law of the land as it stands, but to remove every restriction on it, great and small, at the national level and in every state.



"Now the first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act."

For health care providers, the Freedom of Choice Act is anything but. If made law, it would strip out every single restriction on abortion at all levels of government, including conscience clauses for both individuals and institutions.

It is clear that FOCA would immediately make null and void every current restriction on abortion in all jurisdictions. According to a recent article by Tom McCloskey, "FOCA Would Harm Women and Remove Freedoms," and reported by the Family Research Council, if FOCA was passed it would automatically overturn:

• State abortion reporting requirements in all 50 states
• Forty-four states' laws concerning parental involvement
• Forty states' laws on restricting later-term abortions
• Forty-six states' conscience protection laws for individual health care providers
• Twenty-seven states' conscience protection laws for institutions
• Thirty-eight states' bans on partial-birth abortions
• Thirty-three states' laws on requiring counseling before an abortion
• Sixteen states' laws concerning ultrasounds before an abortion
  

More on the Freedom of Choice Act is here. It's nothing short of monstrous on the faults of its brutal inhumanity to the unborn alone, not to mention how the elimination of the conscience clause would deal the nation's health care system a severe body blow when all the birthing centers in the religiously affiliated hospitals go offline and every obstetric doctor and nurse of good will quits the practice.

God help us. We need McCain.
