Mexico City Policy Reversal A 'Betrayal', says O'Connell

We all knew it was coming, in spite of the fact that Obama promised that he would reduce abortions. He wants us to pay for abortions all over the world to put more money into the deep pockets of Planned Parenthood and now it's payback time. Their money bought him the presidency, after all.

Here is how Catholic University of America's President Fr. O'Connell reacts to Obama's decision to reverse the policy:

I don’t think President Obama is looking for a fight but I think he’s certainly going to get one as he wiggles away from issues that are very important to the Church,” Fr. O’Connell said in remarks published by Fox News on Jan. 28.

“I’m sure for many Catholics who supported Obama because they believed in his words to do everything he could to reduce abortions,” he continued. “This comes as a disappointment, and even a betrayal to some.”

Fr. O’Connell also named as matters of concern President Obama’s support for embryonic stem cell research and disagreement with Proposition 8, California’s successful ballot measure which overturned a same-sex “marriage” court decision.

“The Church holds these issues as very significant and very consequential and the church is going after the president, not because he’s the president or because it’s the United States, but because it believes any government system that support issues that are contrary to its core beliefs are dangerous,” he told Fox News. “Because the beliefs are rooted in good for all of humanity, not just the Catholic Church.” Read the entire article here.
