Barack Obama Urged by Lawmakers not to Support China’s Forced Abortion Policy

 One of the first things that President Bush did upon taking office was to cut funds to organizations who either supported or participated in forced abortions. The United Nations is one such organization and because of the legislation that President Bush enacted the UN has lost $240 million dollars from the United States. 

 The left uses the argument that a woman has the right to choose what to do to her body, and that nobody has the right to tell a  what she can and can’t do with her body. China has a one child per household policy and if a woman becomes pregnant with a second child she is forced to abort her baby, she doesn’t have the right to choose. So by President Bush denying funds to the UN hasn’t he technically protected a woman’s right to choose?

 Evidently President-elect Barack Obama doesn’t think so. During the campaign he promised to restore the funding that President Bush withdrew.

during the election campaign President-elect Obama promised to restore federal funding to the UNFPA, a pledge also contained in Democratic Party’s 2008 platform.

  A recent story of a woman in China who escaped a forced abortion attempt while she was six months pregnant has brought this issue back to light. Lawmakers are now urging the President-elect to keep President Bush’s policy in place.

 The left isn’t neccessarily in favor of a woman’s right to choose but more accurately a woman’s right to abort. Any restrictions on abortion is seen by the left as an infringement on a woman’s right to abort. Even when that restriction would protect a woman’s right to choose to keep her baby. That is why I say that the left is pro abort and not pro choice. The far left knows this and Obama knows this and that is why he would be willing to reverse President Bush’s policy which would help a woman keep the right to choose, unfortunately for the left she would be choosing life.

 Regardless of how you feel about abortion this issue is one that everyone should be in agreement on. This goes well beyond abortion, this is about human rights. We should not be funding this insidious and reprehensible policy. Scott Peterson was convicted of double murder for killing his wife and their unborn baby yet China kills unborn babies and Barack Obama want to give them money to help them.

 I just hope that Barack Obama sees the light and decides to change his mind on this issue, it’s the humane thing to do.
