I just asked the same question. It is unbelievable. You would think that in these days a father of 2 girls would not be in favor of abortion. It certainly is putting a red flag on my view of Obama. The americans are already suffering with the economic situation and now they are going to provide funding for abortions?I am not even an american and these news really bothers me. I guess Bush did not make so many bad decisions after all.Why not provide funding for cancer & hiv research? Funding for free vaccinations? Funding to help poverty?
