Obama's Pro-Abortion Record: The List Goes On and On..

http://www.lifenews.com/2010/11/07/obamaabortionrecord/




Dear LifeNews.com Readers,



Today, LifeNews.com updated our exclusive and extensive listing of the pro-abortion and anti-life actions President Barack Obama has taken in two and a half years since taking over the White House.



Some say that a president doesn't have much effect on issues like abortion, embryonic stem cell research, or promoting abortion abroad. But Obama has proven otherwise -- as he's forced Americans to spend millions of embryonic stem cell research, taxpayer-funded abortions, and spent tens of millions promoting a new Constitution in Kenya that legalized abortions there.



He's pushed Obamacare and pushed abortion funding and paying for drugs that can cause abortions in Obamacare, refused to de-fund Planned Parenthood, cozied up with pro-abortion leaders, and put staunch anti-life activists in key policy positions and judgeships who will have an impact on pro-life laws for a generation.



In the a few short months since our last update of this important Obama Abortion Record document, here's what he's done

:



April 11, 2011 – Refuses Speaker John Boehner’s request to cut taxpayer funding to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.



April 14, 2011 – Obama administration castigates The Vatican over family planning.



April 19, 2011 – Obama Easter breakfast has pro-abortion religious leaders.





May 2, 2011 – Report shows the Obama administration met with abortion advocates during consideration of Obamacare.



May 10, 2011 – Senate confirms pro-abortion Obama judicial pick Edward Chen.



May 11, 2011 – Obama schmoozes with Planned Parenthood abortion business president, Cecile Richards.



May 17, 2011 – Obama administration targets peaceful pro-life advocate for prosecution.



May 19, 2011 – Names pro-abortion Morgan Christen to a federal appeals court position.



June 1, 2011 – Denies Indiana’s request to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.



June 2, 2011 – Obama administration approves more taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research.



June 17, 2011 – Defends forcing taxpayers to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business in court.



July 7, 2011 – Report shows Obama policies resulted in 300 tax-funded abortions in Washington, D.C.



July 21, 2011 – Demands that New Hampshire make taxpayers fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.



July 21, 2011 – Fines a peaceful pro-lifer $25,000.



August 1, 2011 – Forces insurance companies to pay for abortion drugs under Obamacare.



August 19, 2011 – Obama administration found to have spent taxpayer funds promoting pro-abortion Obamacare during the 2010 elections.



August 19, 2011 — Obama administration approves more taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research.



August 22, 2011 – Vice President Joe Biden fails to condemn China’s one-child, forced abortion policy.



August 23, 2011 — Obama administration calls children “sexual beings,” pushes sex on them.





LifeNews is the only place that has accumulated this laundry list of pro-abortion actions and, as a news service devoted to reporting pro-life issues, the only news outlet that has covered every one of the hundreds of anti-life actions Obama has taken since his election in 2008.

Senate Confirms Pro-Abortion Obama Judge Pick Edward Chen

An interesting story from www.LifeNews.com about a pro-abortion judge being confirmed by the Senate WITHOUT a filibuster. This follows this post about the "House of Horrors" abortion clinic.  For more that you can do to get involved click  HERE and you can also get a very interesting book HERE!

Senate Confirms Pro-Abortion Obama Judge Pick Edward Chen


The Senate has voted to confirm another pro-abortion judge President Barack Obama put forward — District Court for the Northern District of California nominee Edward Chen.



Senators first voted in favor of stopping a Republican-led filibuster against the nomination, which saw a handful of Republicans join Democrats to shut off debate and proceed to a vote which lawmakers and political observers knew would have Chen winning. The Senate then voted on the Chen nomination and approved it on a largely partisan 56-42 vote.



Three Democrats who call themselves pro-life, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, all voted for the pro-abortion judicial pick.



The Senate Judiciary Committee signed off on Chen’s nomination in October 2009 on a 12-7 party-line vote, but Republicans used a filibuster to stop a vote in the full Senate and Obama was forced to renominate him.



The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Chen in March. Pro-life advocates oppose Chen because of his time spent as an attorney for the pro-abortion ACLU — Chen has come under criticism because he was employed as an ACLU attorney in San Francisco for decades.



Conservative columnist Warner Todd Huston says Chen is out of the mainstream.



“Well, for one, the left-wing American Bar Association rated Chen a ‘well qualified’ nominee and many of his associates at the ACLU speak highly of him,” he said. “Chen was quite the ACLU activist between 1979 and 2001. His ACLU history would suffice to make many wary of him, of course.” Full story at http://www.lifenews.com/

Four Radicals Renominated to Federal Judgeships

by Hans Bader



On Wednesday, President Obama renominated four radicals to federal judgeships, even though their nominations previously died in the Senate. A week earlier, he made six controversial recess appointments. Those sharply partisan and ideological acts contradict his recent rhetoric about the need for “bipartisanship.”



Obama once again nominated John J. “Jack” O’Connell, who gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to liberal politicians. O’Connell used $2.5 million in state-settlement money to pay off a creditor, in an unethical diversion of state funds. Using political influence, he got himself hired to bring a costly and futile lead paint lawsuit that “achieved nothing, other than waste thousands of hours of attorney time.” The U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposed O’Connell’s nomination — the first time it ever opposed a federal judicial nomination.



Obama renominated Edward Chen, a fervent advocate of racial preferences who unsuccessfully challenged a provision of the California Constitution banning racial discrimination and preferences. Chen also “objected to the singing of ‘America the Beautiful’ at a funeral because of his ‘feelings of ambivalence and cynicism when confronted by appeals to patriotism.’”



Radical law professor Goodwin Liu was also renominated. As lawyer Ted Frank noted in the Washington Examiner, Liu once claimed that racial quotas are not merely permitted, but constitutionally “required.” If confirmed, Liu would sit on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, a sharply-divided federal appeals court with jurisdiction over a whopping one-fifth of the American people. Liu wrongly argued in the past that the Constitution requires some forms of welfare, although he denied supporting such a constitutional right to welfare in his more recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, when he experienced a politically-convenient confirmation conversion after his nomination became controversial. Although Liu briefly worked for a law firm, Liu has no experience actually trying cases, despite the fact that judges are supposed to have “substantial courtroom and trial experience” (a fact that did not keep the staunchly liberal ABA, which shares Liu’s ideology, from supporting his nomination despite his lack of this basic qualification). Liu has claimed that “‘free enterprise, private ownership of property, and limited government” are right-wing concepts and ideological “code words.” Liu is also a big user of politically-correct psychobabble, writing that a judge is supposed to be a “culturally situated interpreter of social meaning” rather than an impartial umpire who interprets the law in accord with its plain meaning or its framers’ intent.



Obama also renominated Louis Butler, who was so extreme that he was removed from the Wisconsin Supreme Court by voters in 2008 (the first time the state’s voters had removed a Justice since 1967). Butler’s empathy for criminals was summed up by his nickname, Loophole Louis.
