I believe one of the many, and perhaps the prime reason, why so many Catholics opposed Barack Obama’s candidacy is his support for the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).
Now that he’s been elected president, will Obama fulfill his promise to Planned Parenthood?
Some analysts believe he must show restraint on FOCA, and govern as a centrist. Others say that the people mandate “change” and that Obama is free to push leftist agenda. His selection of Rep. Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, a veteran of the Clinton administration and strong abortion advocate, is telling.
Regardless of how that plays out, pro-lifers can start acting now. I’ve included an ad from Fight FOCA in my sidebar and signed the petition. With Nancy Pelosi leading Congress, the play will be hers to call over when the FOCA ball starts rolling. I strongly doubt Democrats will be stupid enough to place FOCA at the top of their agenda, or that every Dem. would sign it. Nonetheless, the battle for life will wage on.

We must write to those who “represent” us, and make sure this does not get passed

“I strongly doubt Democrats will be stupid enough to place FOCA at the top of their agenda”
Don’t kid yourself, FOCA is only the first baby step. Universal Health Care with mandated euthanasia and population control is the end game.
They may not want your rosaries on their ovaries, but they are very certain that they want your ovaries controlled by the state. And they are also very certain that those who are old have a duty to die.
If you doubt their intentions on Universal Health Care, just look over seas to USAID’s mandated population control.
