The Editor-in-chief of the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano has gone on record stating that Obama, the "most pro-abortion president in history" is "not a pro-abortion president." This comes as news to pro-lifers - and probably to Obama as well who has made no secret of his position on abortion. This puzzling statement would have been odd enough coming from a liberal newspaper's editor, but coming from the editor of the Vatican newspaper, it is even more shocking. If Obama is "not a pro-abortion president", then please explain why Obama...
* Repeatedly places persons with radical pro-abortion records in key positions
* Issues statements supporting abortion
* Forces American taxpayers to fund pro-abortion organizations
* Has taken steps to overturn conscience protections for health care workers who oppose abortions
* Funds embryonic stem cell research with taxpayer money
* Funds organizations which promote abortion overseas
* Allows an FDA ruling to stand which allows minors to purchase the abortifacient "morning after pill" over the counter, without parental notification
* Forces taxpayers to pay for abortions in the nation's capital
* Eliminates federal funding for abstinence-only education
* Etc.
In light of the above, what exactly would it take for the editor of the Vatican newspaper to consider Obama a pro-abortion president? [story here] [5/21]
