On Friday, President Obama issued an executive order to rescind what is knows as the "Mexico City policy". According to Yahoo News, there will no longer be a ban on giving taxpayer money to overseas organizations that perform abortions or provide abortion information. At a time when America is struggling financially and Americans are struggling financially, why are we sending more money overseas for a purpose that many Americans do not support. I have a few questions on this issue.
In reference to the war on terror, the supposed gripe the terrorists have with America is that we are an immoral culture (the great satan)--doesn't this ruling further justify their claim? Is abortion a moral issue? Now that we have ultrasound pictures of babies in the womb from a very early age, should we acknowledge that this is a human life that we are ending? Has anyone noted the irony that our most pro-abortion president is a black man and that abortion statistics show that a disproportionate number of black babies have been killed by abortion.
I firmly believe that if the life of a mother is at stake and a child needs to be aborted, the woman and her doctor should be allowed to make that decision. I question the idea that killing a child for the sake of convenience is good for society or good for the woman involved (not to mention the child).
