Aren't you upset at our new president for stopping the ban on funding for international abortions?

[masterdiaryboy]

This article states that one of the first things United States President Barack Obama has already done is stop the ban on funding international abortions.http://news.yahoo.com/news/us/story/ap/20090123/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_abortion_banThis is just wrong! I can't stand how this guy who says he is a Christian could want to use money that our country needs to take care of the lower class and middle class people who are struggling to pay their bills to help fund abortions in other countries.I am anti-abortion and I think our President has made a horrible decision in allowing the United States to fund abortions in other countries.If you get pregnant and don't want the baby then you should pay for the abortion out of your own pocket you baby killers.If we didn't go to war, we never would have gotten Saddam Hussein you silly people.I don't agree with this war going on this but I supported the war and was never against it unlike shady politicians who change their minds just to please their constituates.That pregnancy counseling is just a cover-up. Our money is going to fund abortions -- period.Wake up your brain cells!We were attacked on 911 and that was the beginning of the war because that was a direct attack on us using planes with innocent people as weapons of mass destruction.I don't care how you feel about our former president. I like the fact that George W. Bush reacted to an attack on the United States. I would have done the same thing if I had been president.War started on 911 but those foolish terrorists who kill other people when they kill themselves for our God who is against murder are thoughtless and heartless and we can't defend the Iraqi civilians anymore. I pray for the Iraqi people.Go drink some more Kool-Aid Kool-Aid because your brain cells are thirsty. Everyone with a brain knows that abortion is not about saving innocent lives. Abortion is murder genius!Abortion doctors should go to jail for the rest of their lives and women who take a coat hanger to kill their babies when they can't afford to have an abortion should be in jail for the rest of their lives because they are all so selfish and they commit murder.The act of abortion is murder because you have to go into a woman's body to casterate an embryo or a fetus. It is appalling.Italy would never allow abortions to be funded by their government nor would they want our money to fund abortions in their country.Not everyone grows up to be stalkers, rapists, or murderers so whoever said that a baby who is aborted would become a stalker, a rapist, or a murderer or whatever is wrong and should thank his mother that she didn't abort him.Your mother could have aborted you but she didn't so why would you support funding for abortions.Wake up!Why would you support abortions anyway?A baby growing inside is a human being even if it is an embryo. We all started in our mother's womb as a one-celled organism.If you are appalled, as you should be, when a mother drowns her baby or babies in a toilet or a bathtub then why aren't you appalled when a woman has as abortion?I guess I am one of a minority of people who has a brain that works and a heart and soul that works too!I wish The Vatican could overrule any country that funds abortions!My niece was going to be aborted but my sister by the grace of God decided not to abort my niece and my niece is a wonderful girl who cares about people and animals.Any person who says that a baby that would have been aborted grows up to be a bad person like a murderer or a rapist or a stalker should shut up because he or she doesn't know what he or she is talking about.My niece isn't going to grow up to be a mugger or a terrorist because she would have been aborted. Are you ignorant?

We knew this was going to happen, stop acting so shocked and no i'm not upset.Bush used all our money and put us in a semi depression to fund a war that he said was over weapons of mass destruction, which he never found but you're mad that Obama wants to help out other countries with abortions?Figures.

 

[masterhersh]

I believe the President made the correct decision and what I can't stand is people throwing religion into any and all debates. You don't believe in abortion? Don't have an abortion.

 

[PhillyPhan]

It much cheaper than a bombing run. These unwanted children usually turn out to be muggers or get sucked into some stupid, radical terrorist group.

 

[darrin_9941]

The war didn't put us into a depression! Barney Frank and his friends at Fannie Mae did. Do you even pay attention?Abortion isn't about religion dammit! It's about saving innocent lives!

 

[phillsville1]

No, I think it's wonderful that he's allowing people to have access to family planning and all that it includes. And I find your post quite amusing. Obviously you are very young.

 

[DarsiLlama]

XD I disagree. There's no point in arguing with all of you though.I respect him a lot for making that decision.

 

[masterkeystoper]

He is NOT a Christian. I'm sorry, I don't care what anyone says and least of all do I believe him. He is going to give our money to EVERYBODY but us. Before he was even elected, he drafted an $800 BILLION plan to send money to Africa. Barack Obama does not care about America or Americans. Everyone who voted for him should be ashamed because they sold the rest of us out who DID see through him. I did not vote for him but I am a hostage to fortune anyway because the majority of people in this country are so dazzled by bright lights and fast talking that they will believe anything a person says if he's saying what they want to hear. It didn't even matter that his history proved he wasn't who he said he was. It just didn't matter. It matters now. But it's too late.

He is not "funding international abortions."He is funding groups that do abortions, or provide info on abortions; but not JUST that.They provide family counseling, teen counseling, abstinence education, birth control methods, adoption information (and sometimes adoption placements), and ALL info on abortion (including the emotional ramifications of going with that as the choice).They do far more than JUST abortions, and they don't encourage abortions. They simply provide info, ALL info, on the subject. And I do agree with Obama doing that. Because education is the key to ending abortion. No one aborts a wanted pregnancy, so education can help them avoid unwanted pregnancies. These places provide information on how to avoid an unwanted pregnancy; so the girl can make sure that she only gets pregnant when she actually wants to be.And if she accidentally gets pregnant anyway, she is provided the help she needs (even if the family won't or can't stand by her) in hopes that it will be enough to convince her to have the baby.

As far as abortion, everyone here has answered from their various viewpoints; and I cannot add on to either side.But as far as the war taking out Saddam Hussein. You do realize that we were far better off with him than without him, right?Do you consider Iran a threat? Considering that you seem fairly far right wing, I will say you probably do. Normally, I'd let you answer, but this format is not well-designed for it.But back to this, you most likely consider Iran a threat. Well, Saddam Hussein was blood enemies with Iran. Saddam Hussein was a Sunni, and Iranians are mostly Shiite. He constantly went to war with them, and kept them in check. As long as he was there, Saudi Arabia (also mostly Sunni) was the pre-eminent power in the region.When Saddam Hussein was in power, he was not threat to us. That has been proven. He was a threat to Iran.Well, he had a couple of enemies during his time in power. Among these was Nouri al Maliki, the current Prime Minister of Iraq. Nouri al Maliki had allied himself to Iran during Hussein's rule, and maintains that alliance today.Maliki's most likely replacement, should he lose the next election on January 30th is Moqtada al Sadr. The two were once allies of each other, and both allied to Iran. Moqtada al Sadr also continues to maintain his alliance to Iran.That is why Nouri al Maliki won't let us use Iraq as a staging groung to intimidate Iran into backing down from their nuclear ambitions. If Moqtada al Sadr takes over, and he will do so democratically if he does, he won't even let us into Iraq at all.Iran has become the pre-eminent power in the Middle East, and already has control of Iraq. Bush handed Iraq to them on a silver platter.There were no WMDs in Iraq. There were no terrorists in Iraq. Not because Saddam was a good guy who hated terrorists. He kept them out as a matter of ego. He relished that image he had of being the one who stood up to America. Of course, that image tends to lose its luster when surrounded in those who not only stood up to America, but attacked America back (that is, of course, from their point-of-view). Saddam Hussein kept al Qaeda out so he could remain the big fish in his little pond. And Iraq was keeping Iran in check; which in turn made one of our allies the pre-eminent power in the region.Overthrowing Saddam Hussein has given Iran the strongest control in the Middle East, removed a threat that was keeping their nuclear ambitions in check, tied up our own forces in Iraq so that we cannot deal with anyone else, and gave China the oil deals.We invested the time, the money, the equipment, and most of all the lives; and Nouri al Maliki gave the oil deals to China.We have lost control of the Middle East to a huge political enemy, and lost the economic deals to a huge economic rival. Iraq was a total mistake; even if you do believe we went there for legitimate reasons.And if you do believe we went there for legitimate reasons, then you need to start paying attention. All the proof is there, we went there for reasons that were not really reasons. Whatever Bush was really trying to do, he lied to us about why we went there.

I agree with you one hundred and fifty percent!!!!!! I am digusted that Mr.Obama calls himself a Christian when he would do everything in his power to save a tree but support killing a fetus!Oh and talking about the positives of having a planned parenthood-esque facility available to the public have obviously taken a blind eye to the fact that many of these facilites are aiding in the cover up of statutory rape. There is actually a case in Ohio against Planned Parenthood because they failed to inform the parents of a 13 year old girl she was getting an abortion. Unfortunately, her soccer coach/rapist had foced her to go to the clinic to get the abortion. The employees at the clinic were well aware of this crime but chose remain silent. There are many other cases like this, sadly and funding these clinics is also encouraging crime. I am anti abortion with the exception of certain cicumstances (ie. rape). I am an Independent by the way,too. So I'm not just a right wing radical. One last detail.....religion has nothing to do with this issue honestly. The only reason I made the comment about Mr. Obama is because it is hyppocritical to be a Christian and support abortion. How is it legal to have an abortion when someone kills a pregnant woman and gets charged with a double homicide? Doesn't make sense.
