They&#8217;ve submitted a 55-page plan outlining their list of demands:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The plan was signed by groups which include the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and International Planned Parenthood Federation of America. It was also signed by a group which calls itself &#8220;Catholics for Choice.&#8221;<br \/>\nWriting in the plan, abortion advocates call for the abolition of restrictions on taxpayer funding for abortions:<br \/>\n&#8220;The President&#8217;s budget should strike language restricting abortion funding for (i) Medicaid-eligible women and Medicare beneficiaries (Hyde amendment); (ii) federal employees and their dependents (FEHB program); (iii) residents of the District of Columbia; (iv) Peace Corps volunteers; (v) Native-American women; and (vi) women in federal prisons.&#8221;<br \/>\nIt asks that funding be restored to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), whose funding was rescinded under the Bush administration after private and governmental investigations revealed that the program cooperated with China&#8217;s coercive population control programs.<br \/>\nThe abortion advocates&#8217; plan calls for an increase in the budget of the Title X Family Planning Program to $700 million, reportedly a 133 percent increase, while providing $1 billion for international &#8220;family planning&#8221; programs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If Obama does go along with this plan (and there really is no reason to think he won&#8217;t), he will have broken his promise to reduce the number of abortions. No one can argue effectively that when you pay for abortions, they decrease. I wonder how the pro-life Obaminites will react to the news that he&#8217;s removing the restrictions to federal funding of abortions? We they try to rationalize it away? Or will they just ignore it?<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/tag\/*\/index?more=2150047\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that a pro-abortion Democrat is about to take over the presidency, abortionists are waiting to get their piece of the federal pie.
