Abortion supporters disgraces taxpayers
Pro-life advocates forced to finance what is seen as morally wrong

President Barack Obama signed an executive order Jan. 23 that lifted George W. Bush's ban on using federal money to fund international groups performing abortions worldwide.
The order caused quite a "stir" in the United States (U.S.), as pro-life taxpayers feel that they should not have to pay for something that they believe is morally wrong.
A comment by Charmaine Yoest, President of Americans for Life, said after Obama signed the executive order, "When we wake up every morning to a deepening financial crisis, it is an insult to the American people to bail out the abortion industry," and I couldn't have said it any better.
Whether you are in support of pro-life or pro-choice does not change the fact that this move by "Government's Finest" is not supportive of the American people in any way. U.S. money needs to be spent here, aiding our current crippling economic situation, not running to the aid of an industry whose goal is short-sighted and limited.
Although fiercely disputed, the signing of this order has brought back to mind Obama's original stance on full term abortions.
Does anyone else feel lethargic at the thought that the abortion "war" used to be restricted only to the first trimester of pregnancy? Now America is forced to stare through the looking glass of murder and make a statement about their personal morality on life, period.
While we're all doing that, lets pull a couple of rare, crumpled dollars out of our jean pockets, drop them meagerly into Obama's collection plate, and watch our money pile to the ceiling, while the lives of millions teeter on the edge of extinction.
