Obama Celebrates Roe vs. Wade Decision, 54 Million Abortions<\/h2>\n

by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 1\/22\/12 3:43 PM<\/em><\/p>\n

President Barack Obama, today, release a statement celebrating the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that allowed for 54 million abortions. The decision, handed down on January 22, 1973, overturned pro-life laws offering protection for unborn children in most states across the country, and made abortions legal and virtually unlimited.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Keep MURDER Legal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The statement Obama released says:<\/p>\n

As we mark the 39th<\/sup> anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman\u2019s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters.\u00a0 I remain committed to protecting a woman\u2019s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right.\u00a0 While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue- no matter what our views, we must stay united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant woman and mothers, reduce the need for abortion, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption. \u00a0And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n

For most Americans, the day the Supreme Court handed down its decision was a day to mourn \u2014 a\u00a0day to mourn the loss of tens of millions of unborn children \u2014 sons and daughters, brothers and sisters lost to a world that values choice over compassion. It was a day to mourn the damage abortion does to women \u2014 the medical problems, the mental health issues, the damaging of relationships with friends and family, and the destruction of relationships with God.<\/p>\n

It was a day to mourn the culture of death abortion has brought to our nation and our world. A culture that believes death is a solution for those who are considered too old or too ill. A culture that believes human life is a commodity to be created and manipulated.<\/p>\n

Last May, Gallup released the results of a new poll confirming, for the third time in the last year, that more Americans call themselves pro-life than \u201cpro-choice\u201d on abortion.\u00a0 The consistency of the new polling data showing more Americans pro-life than supporting abortion is enough to make Gallup call this the \u201cnew normal\u201d in the United States.\u00a0 In 1996, 56 percent of Americans said they were \u201cpro-choice\u201d while 33 percent of Americans said they were \u201cpro-life.\u201d That\u2019s a 23 percent pro-abortion majority.\u00a0 Now, with 47 percent of Americans saying they are pro-life and 45 percent saying they support abortion \u2014 we have a 2 percent pro-life plurality. We\u2019ve swung public opinion 25 percent towards the pro-life side in the last 14 years.<\/p>\n

Obama has done everything in his power to advance abortion<\/a><\/strong> and continue that pro-abortion legacy of the Supreme Court, including naming two more pro-abortion jurists in Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. He has also expanded that 54 million abortions by authorizing abortion funding in various instances and decreasing funds for abstinence education.<\/p>\n

All in all, the Republican candidates are campaigning to replace Obama\u00a0as pro-life advocates and would be monumentally better than pro-abortion President Barack Obama<\/a><\/strong>. No matter which GOP hopeful you support, they all would very likely implement a host of pro-life policies, appoint pro-life people to key administrative and court positions, and give unborn children the hope they don\u2019t enjoy currently when it comes to any chance of gaining legal protection from abortion.<\/p>\n

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
