Obama Motorcade Forced to Confront Pictures of Aborted Babies

Obama Motorcade Forced to Confront Pictures of Aborted Babies

The motorcade carrying President Barack Obama was forced to confront pictures of babies victimized by abortions.

A pro-life group that took up a position along the presidential parade route set up graphic abortion pictures.

Mark Harrington, the director of the group Created Equal, talked about why his organization set them up.

Obama Brings Pro-Abortion Record, Low Ratings to Inauguration
As President Barack Obama is inaugurated today, he brings a stark contrast to his second term:

a large pro-abortion record and a small approval rating.

Gallup polling finds Obama’s first-term approval rating is the lowest of any post-World War II presidents.

Kids Write Obama on Abortion: “Scared for Babies Not Yet Born”
I’m getting sick and tired of the Obama administration using children selectively in order to help the president

advocate his public policy positions. As I sat and watched his recent press conference, I finally understood his

opposition to the Iraq War. It seems he and the late President Hussein are kindred spirits who share more than

just a name. They share a sick penchant for using children as human shields in the middle of war. And make

no mistake about it; America is currently at war with itself on many different fronts. As I sat and watched Obama

surrounded by little human political shields, three things struck me as being especially hypocritical:

Fr. Frank Pavone Writes An Open Letter to President Barack Obama

January 21, 2013
Catholic Online

Mr. President:

Many Americans are praying for you as you are inaugurated today. I am among them, as I participate today in the national commemorative service for the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and join his family at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

Yet when wild applause erupts today for you here today, I will not be applauding. When standing ovations occur, I will stand to honor my country and the office of its President, but I will not be applauding, because, I do not believe that you should be the current occupant of the White House.

When you were first elected, many rejoiced that yet another barrier had been broken for racial equality in our nation. I rejoiced with them. Yet so many African-Americans could have been -- and can still be -- elected to the Presidency who better represent and advance the principles on which our country was founded.

Instead, you so often violate them. Therefore, along with the chorus of praise, I want to write this letter today representing so many of our fellow Americans who raise a chorus of concern, particularly regarding your stand on life, religious freedom, and marriage.

As I stated, I am here today with the King Family in Atlanta. That is because Dr. Alveda King, Martin's niece, is a fulltime member of my team at Priests for Life. She travels this nation bearing witness to the fact that the civil rights movement of today is the pro-life movement. We proclaim the principle behind the civil rights movement -- namely, equality for every human life -- and apply it to the children yet in their mothers' womb.

And we protest your apparent unwillingness to recognize their equal dignity. You represent the blind spot that advocates of abortion across America demonstrate, as they cry out about the right to life of children slain in Newtown, Connecticut, but never acknowledge the right to life that those same children had when in the womb.

We protest your unrelenting attack on religious freedom and on the institution of marriage. My ministry of Priests for Life was among the first to launch a federal lawsuit against the HHS mandate, and we recently won an initial victory in federal court in New York. We will continue to advance this lawsuit and will settle for nothing less than the complete withdrawal of the mandate across the board and across the nation.

Mr. President, I write today on behalf of countless Americans who love their country, but whose very love of that country causes them distress at so many of your actions and positions. There is a lot of room in our country for legitimate political debate. But our objections go beyond that. This is not just about your policies, but about your principles, so many of which completely contradict those on which our nation was founded.

Indeed, many will be praying for you today, and part of that fervent prayer is for an authentic change of mind and heart on the part of the President of the United States.

Respectfully,
Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life

My friend who reads much on current events told me that statistics prove that there are even more abortions done when a republican president is in office.

Our presidents are puppets. As for Obama, I wonder if he was moved by the pictures of the aborted babies...
