See this video a women made in response to Obama's statements about pregnancy and abortion:
It is very factual and true, but does contain some touching pictures of fetuses developing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyFrGbAvfHc



This post is alittle long, but has links to the articles about Obama's Policy, what the Regan Policy was that Clinton Reversed and the Bush reinstated and Now Obama has lifted.

***If you are pressed for time, scroll down to the bottom and read up for as long as you have. BrightMindshelpinghands and Holy Hearts is researching this and compiling resources and information to make this our project to raise awareness.***

Notice the Irony here! Clinton.... Obama . Look at Obama's appointments, his policies, his attitude, his Charisma and popularity. It is so scarry!!! Unfortunately, he has "INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS AND IS GOING TO FIND "COMMON GROUND" With everyone. What happen to "If you do not stand for SOMETHING, you will fall for anything". Well the United States is falling faster than the stock market.





Today on Good Morning American President Obama's "Transparency" was crystal clear. My reservations and concerns. All the questions I asked where kicked right in my gut and it burned! really bad. Again I just sat there in utter Disbelief!!!!




U.S. Can Now Give Federal Funding to International Family Planning Groups That Provide Abortion Services


See it for yourself : http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/International/story?id=6716958&page=1





As a result of the policy — which is named for the city in which the Reagan Administration first announced it at the 1984 United Nations International Conference on Population — some groups, including Planned Parenthood organizations in Romania and Columbia, altered their activities in order to qualify and continued to receive funding. But at least 16 developing nations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East have been affected, with all NGOs in those countries denied U.S. funding to help provide contraceptives and other much-needed services. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1873794,00.html?iid=tsmodule





National Origin of Foreign-Born Children Adopted by U.S. Parents, 2002











See the full article: http://www.prb.org/Articles/2003/InternationalAdoptionRateinUSDoubledinthe1990s.aspx




{Notice anything interesting????} Notice the countries that were effected by the Mexico City Ban. HMMMM!!!! Worth noting McCain adopted a child from China. Republicans mentioned adoption during the campaign. Most "Middle Class" and Wealthy families have adoption coverage or personal funds to adopt. Obama wants to "redistribute the Wealth" evidently that distribution is going to be overseas.. Remember the Wealthy tax cuts are expiring soon. and new tax laws are being written. HMMMM!!!!!!


WHAT??? THE U.S. GIVE!!!! to INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING GROUPS ...Abortion Services. This is not just allowing abortions, we already do that here in the United States of America, were most have the essentials like clothes, food, and shelter. No we are giving money to INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES that provide and educate on Abortions in FOREIGN COUNTRIES!!!! Abortions have decline in the United States, but there are children left without loving parents in the foster care system. But, now we have to spread our "RIGHTS campaign throughout the world to countries where women have chosen to value life take the sacrafice of childbirth and give up their babies for adoption instead of killing them before they are even recognized as children or abuse and mistreat them like the women here in the United States do. What is this going to do to the adoption programs? Why is it called a choice when the other side is not properly educated?


The Abortion issue here in the United states is Pro-life/Pro-choice. I laugh and ask, how can you choose when you do not have two options? it is to end the pregnancy by process of elimination based on the information the women knows (or has been told by others). Adoption is lengthy, scarry and if the family does not support the decison they could be kicked out and cut off. Where are they supposed to go? How are they supposed to pay for the prenatal care and the delivery? Even if they have insurance there are still out of pocket expenses. Pregnancy does not always come at the best times and with all the answers. This decision is usually made when the woman finds out she is pregnant and is scared and confused. If she had some processing time to think, if she had funding options, information, resources, someone to talk to that would listen and help her without worry about how this affected them. Why don't we have better programs??? Where are the "christians" and all those that oppose Abortion??? Look in the phone book for Pregnancy Hotline, Mental Health is a joke. In crisis where are people supposed to go???


We cannot "Make" people choose one way of the other, but we can offer information, options: "We can get you a place to stay, healthcare for you and the baby," (working mothers and married women of a household over $20,000/yr GROSS (before taxes){$833.00/2 weeks) will not qualify for assistance!!!!)


What are we doing to help prevent abortions? Preaching that to the women that they are less than human and they are sinning and shame on them! {NICE}

Another View of Motherhood (the one most see, thanks to the media)

These women are overwhelmed and scared, life as they know it is changing. Life is hard enough, they already do not have things they need and they have to bring another mouth into the world. Another responsibility. Motherhood is an awesome gift, but not when you are not healthy, are alone (even married women suffer isolation and unsupportive spouses and families). The vision of having your body stretched and all the side effects you hear about are not on many womens list of the top 10 things you wish for. If they work, this decision is very difficult, suffer through being uncomfortable, oversized (some jobs are not suitable for pregnant women) and risk loosing their job or being reassigned to another position. Then when the baby comes it is 6 WEEKS!! without pay for most people! for those that live from paycheck to paycheck that is 3 pay checks, 1 month and a pay period out of the next.

All the diapers and formula and other needs. It is no wonder many choose to not go through it... Information is scarce here in Carolina. The clinics are not "accessible" to anyone that is need of treatment, even if you get in you wish you had not gone there. The treatment is less than professional, even when you are paying.

Adoption is not well educated and easily accessible to all women. The parental rights here in the States prevent many babies from being adopted and force them into foster care where they are bounced around because even when a foster family wants to adopt them into their family they are not able to because of the lengthy and messing process of severing parental rights and keeping them severed. Look at all the horror cases of American Adoptions gone wrong and the biological parents getting the children back legally or terrorizing the adoptive family. Why not put money to the Foster Care and Adoption System here in the United States and take care of our own Child Abuse and Neglect epidemic before you make in a genocide on child. What happened to the saying "Children are our future".



Now look at these women in these FOREIGN countries who have so much less than woman have here in the United States, yet they have had no choice to end the pregnancy before. Thousands of babies have been adopted by American Families. There are orphanages full of children that need homes but are not adopted. This policy is about the quickest and easiest thing. The United States way of dealing with issues is to Claim a Right to do whatever you want and then through money at the quickest, easiest and most popular solution. We love to vote on stuff, being a Democracy and all.



US cuts funding for condoms in Marie Stopes' African clinics http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/04/usa.internationalaidanddevelopment

If our money is going to a solution, lets make it a solution and not just an answer. Paying for the abortion is not a choice that should even be on the sheet. That is not an educated decision, that is a selfish and quick fix. Pay for contraceptives, Pay for medical care, Pay for education of ALL the women. How about funding the Adoption programs and make it easier for those that want the children to help these women and quickly adopt these children.
