Barack Hussein Obama has criticized the past arrogance of US foreign policy, but what could be more arrogant than sending US taxpayers' dollars by the billions to fund family planning and abortion in nations around the world? It is a policy aimed at destroying lives like his own -- poor, dark-skinned babies who would grow up in third-world countries.The Senate has just voted on an amendment offered by Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) to restore the Mexico City policy that was rescinded by President Obama last week. The House of Representatives will soon take up a similar measure to restore the Mexico City Policy. There are few Congressional roll call votes that offer a clearer view of where our representatives stand on this, the greatest moral issue of our day.
Pro-life organizations are urging all pro-life Americans to contact members of the Senate by going to http://www.Senate.gov and letting your Senators know what you think of your money being used to fund pro-abortion groups promoting and performing abortions overseas. See below for the Senate roll call. You are also urged to contact members of the House by going to http://www.House.gov and urging strong support for HR 708 to restore the Mexico City Policy.
