Obama's 2011 budget increases taxpayer funding for abortion

Via Marjorie at the Susan B. Anthony List:

Obama just doesn't get it.

Poll after poll shows that Americans are increasingly pro-life, and even more Americans don't want their tax dollars spent on funding abortion.

Yet, Obama's proposed 2011 budget doesn't reflect this sentiment. In fact, it does just the opposite, and actually increases taxpayer funding for abortion on-demand both domestically and around the globe.

Under Obama's proposed budget, he asks that American tax dollars are used to:

--Fund the Title X "Family Planning Program" which sends money directly to Planned Parenthood. Obama asked that Title X funding be increased by $10 million this year, which would bring total funding to a staggering $327 million

--Fund Abortions in the District of Columbia because of the loss of the Dornan Amendment

--Fund the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) which promotes Abortion worldwide and works with Population Control officials in China who have promoted Forced Abortions and Sterilizations to enforce their oppressive One-Child Family Planning Policy


--Fund People or Groups that engage in Abortion Litigation under the Legal Services Corporation

My Thoughts:

This proposed budget disaster must be stopped! Human life is precious and we need to do all that we can (with the limits of the law) to stop the insanity. We, as a pro-life people need to continue the good fight. We need to stay in close contact with our congressmen and let them know how we feel about the proposed budget. We need to pray, fast, and do almsgiving, especially during the upcoming Lenten season. We need to support our local and national pro-life groups as well as our local crisis pregnancy centers.What cause could be more important than that of saving human lives, especially the lives of the innocent and voiceless?
