Amer. Fam. Council Fights Obama. Great Ad.

At least the American Family Coucil is fighting Obama on the ground where he is very, very vulnerable:  ABORTION.

They have just put out this ad, which shows Obama’s firm stance at the Planned Parenthood conference in summer of 2007.  Obama has promised the the first thing he will do when he becomes president is to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which is intended to codify Roe into federal law.  It is an all-inclusive and retroactive law that would immediately overturn EVERY state statute enacted over the past 35 yearrs to place protective restrictions on abortions, inluding prohibition of partial birth abortions and parental notification laws.

There are, today, more than 300 statutes, among our 50 states, that place restrictions upon legal abortions.  These statutes range from parental notification restrictions to those banning Partial-Birth Abortion.  These 300 state statutes have faced numerous Constitutional challenges, and have been upheld by the Supreme Court again, again, again and again.
These statutes do undoubtedly, however, cut into the millions paid to Planned Parenthood, the single largest provider of abortions.

The federal Freedom of Choice Act was introduced in 1989 as a way to circumvent state restrictions on abortion.  It effectively codifies Roe v Wade into the federal legal code.

Under the Clinton Administration, NARAL and Planned Parenthood had high hopes for its passage, but the bill ended up stalled in committee because, according to some of its then detractors, it did not go far enough.  The original bill allowed for states to opt out of paying with taxpayer money for the abortions of poor women, and also allowed states to give “conscience exemptions” for medical personnel, who objected to abortion.

The new bill, however, has eliminated these “problems,” and completely meets with pro-abortion activists’ ultimate aims, and it is the one that Obama plans to sign into law.  This law, if passed and signed, will strike down every current restriction on abortion within all 50 states.

“This Act applies to every federal, state and local statute, ordinance, regulation, administrative order, decision, policy, practice, or other action enacted, adopted, or implemented before, on, or after the date of enactment of this Act.”
The American Family Council ad is very effective.  I hope it gets wide play.
