If he gets in for four more years he\u2019ll be untethered,\u201d Smith told CNA. \u201cObama will pack the Supreme Court too. The only realistic way that Roe v. Wade will be repealed is through the courts. If he gets a chance to put one or two more judges on (the bench), then a generation will be lost and over a million kids a year will suffer the cruelty of abortion.\u201d\u201cLook at the stand Obama took on the threat to withdraw funding for the International Planned Parenthood Federation from the U.S. budget,\u201d Smith explained. \u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019ll shut down the government before I don\u2019t fund Planned Parenthood.\u2019 So his priorities couldn\u2019t have been clearer. His priority will be to fund all pro-abortion, non-governmental organizations to the max.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/05\/30\/congressman-chris-smith-replace-obama-with-pro-life-president\/\">http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/05\/30\/congressman-chris-smith-replace-obama-with-pro-life-president\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sign Up for Free Pro-Life News From LifeNews.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/digest\">http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/digest<\/a> Daily Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congressman Chris Smith, the head of the pro-life caucus of lawmakers in the House of Representatives, says voters must replace pro-abortion President Barack Obama with a pro-life president when they vote in the 2012 elections.\u201cI do think we need a man or woman who is totally committed to the culture of life and not just&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[506,463,35,466],"tags":[1203,1202],"class_list":["post-2839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abortion-2","category-elections","category-obama","category-pro-life-2","tag-chris-smith","tag-replace-obama"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. 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. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
