Obama's Top Ten Things To Do List if Elected President

1.
Roe v. Wade would exist for at least another 30 to 40 years by the US Supreme Court appointments he makes. The next president will make at least one, and probably two US Supreme Court appointments. If elected to a second term, he could make as many as six appointments. The average Supreme Court Justice serves 23 years. Because the next two justices that are likely to retire are both pro-abortion, a pro-life president could position the courts to overturn Roe V. Wade in the next few years.
2.
The "Freedom of Choice Act" would override all state laws regarding abortion and eliminate 35 years of laws that have reduced abortions in the USA. Obama co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act (S. 1173) and would make passing it one of his "first priorities as president". It would eliminate parental notification laws, 24-hour waiting period for abortions, and education of women about the abortion risks and development of her unborn child. The Freedom of Choice act would require taxpayer funding of abortion and make partial birth abortion legal again.
3.
A pro-choice president would sponsor a bill for elimination of the Hyde Amendment, and thus force all taxpayers to bear the costs of free abortions for the poor. The Hyde Amendment has protected federal taxpayers from being forced to fund abortions through Medicaid.
4.
A pro-choice president would include abortion as a "covered procedure" in any national health care insurance plan making abortions more readily available and forcing taxpayers to fund them.
5.
A pro-choice president would require all medical schools to train doctors to perform abortions and force doctors to perform abortions regardless of their personal moral or religious beliefs or convictions.
6.
A pro-choice president would likely issue an Executive Order (probably on his first day in office as did President Clinton) eliminating the Mexico City policy. The Mexico City policy bars US foreign aid money from being given to organizations or companies that perform or promote abortion overseas.
7.
A pro-choice president would restore funding for UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) which provided millions of dollars of funding for abortions and forced sterilizations in many Third World countries and China.
8.
A pro-choice president would remove the current restriction prohibiting use of US Defense Budget monies on abortions for military personnel.
9.
A pro-choice president would lead the way to the repeal of the ban on partial-birth abortions, where a baby's skull is stabbed with scissors in the birth canal and the brains are sucked out to end its life swiftly and ease passage of the corpse into the pan. Obama co-sponsored S. 1173 making partial birth abortion legal again.
10.
A pro-choice president could overturn the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was a law passed by the United States Congress in 2002. It extends legal protection to an infant born alive after a failed attempt at induced abortion. It was signed into law on August 5, 2002 by President Bush.
