OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OPPOSES "OPPRESSIVE" BILL
BANNING ABORTIONS
AFTER FIVE MONTHS GESTATION
(Friday Church News Notes, January 30, 2015, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - President Barack Obama’s unwavering support for the murder of unborn children is again on display by his administration’s opposition to a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. The White House called it an “assault on a woman’s right to choose” and “oppressive.” Bill H.R. 36 was introduced by Sen. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and has broad support, with nearly 160 co-sponsors. The White House Office of Management and Budget opined, “Women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies and their health care, and government should not inject itself into decisions best made between a woman and her doctor.” Abortion is not about a woman’s body; it is about a baby’s body. And the hypocritical Obama administration has no qualms about injecting itself into anyone’s private business when it wants to. With the new Republican-controlled congress at the helm, the next two years will probably be known as the presidential veto years. The Christian News Network reports, “The majority of children who are aborted after 20 weeks gestation lose their lives through a procedure known as dilation and evacuation (D&E). Dilation and evacuation involves first administering medication that will stop the baby’s heart from beating. The mother’s cervix is then dilated and the baby is removed piece by piece with forceps. According to reports, the abortionist assembles the baby’s body parts on a tray to ensure that nothing is left behind” (“Obama Administration Opposes Bill,”Christian News Network, Jan. 21, 2015).
