Pres. Barack Obama Rescinds Ban On Funds For Foreign Abortions.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28812519/ On what was coincidently the anniversity of Roe Vs. Wade, newly inaugurated President Obama abolished the prohibition on using public funds for abortions overseas. The article is wrong about one thing at least. It's not just pro-lifers that are upset by this executive order. Libertarians, like myself are also opposed to this policy, because tax payers would be mandated to contribute money against there will, for purposes which violate there conscience. And also not all liberals are pro-choice either. http://www.democratsforlife.org/ The really rotten thing about this is that the Congress did not even get to decide how federal funds would be appropiated. Instead Presidents, past and present, dictated how foreign aid was to be spent, according to there own personal views. The stated goal of both Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, to accomplish this was one of the reasons why I decided to vote for Bob Barr, instead. If pregnant women want to choose to have an abortion, they should have to use there own money. The citizens of this country should be able to choose not to pay for there so called right to choose.
