On the tragic anniversary yesterday President Obama said.
“On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose. While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue, no matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion, and support women and families in the choices they make. To accomplish these goals, we must work to find common ground to expand access to affordable contraception, accurate health information, and preventative services. On this anniversary, we must also recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons: the chance to attain a world-class education; to have fulfilling careers in any industry; to be treated fairly and paid equally for their work; and to have no limits on their dreams. That is what I want for women everywhere.”
Typical platitudes. Talking about private family matters while invading the economic life of the family at every opportunity and taking over the parents role in teaching their children about sex and passing out birth control at every opportunity. Once again with the message we must protect abortion while also having the need to reduce them. Which one is it? Either abortion is morally fine and thus no reason to do anything about it or it is evil and we need to do more than just reduce numbers – these numbers are human lives not some accounting tool.
I really find the daughters and sons opportunity line to be rather sick. Hey why don’t we just remove a girl’s uterus as soon as possible. For the President and others equality means pursuing a career with no time outs for punishments like a pregnancy. Can hardly wait for the utopia where we just clone children and have people take turns raising them just do away with bothersome reproduction. So we can live like the Solarians in Asimov’s novel “The Naked Son.” Only then will we be equal.
Women with good careers is the pinnacle of life in an Obamian world. Motherhood is something to not ever be mentioned in polite society. The presidents statement assumes there is nothing outside of a career for women and that motherhood is exclusive of such goals. No wonder he speaks of not wanting his daughters to be “punished” with a baby since for him a child it a sad detour on the route to career bliss.
Over the last couple of days there have been varying reports of the President getting rid of the Mexico City Policy via executive order. That he did not sign it on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade was seen as a positive sign by some. Some wondered what he was waiting for since it certainly seemed obvious he would sign it. Well we should have known that he was waiting for 5:09 today to do it to put it into the vacuum of the weekend news. Brave, Brave Obama who is going to protect women’s rights had to wait for a more opportune time to bury the story.
Once again we can thank the Obama Catholic supporters who tell us his policies are really pro-life. Tell that to the child that is aborted with funds given to family planning organizations. Maybe Doug Kmiec can get a job overseas doing this.

sadly…surprise factor= 0.
Some of the members of our hierarchy are disappointed that he did this.
How many members of the hierarchy, of our clergy, our religous and just everyday Catholics voted for him?
Why are they disappointed? Did he not say that he would do this? Is he not carrying out what they had voted him in to do?
Well, you got what you paid for.
Hope you are happy with the results.
You can let all your friends and relations that voted for Molech Obama know they now officially have blood on their hands.
May God have mercy on us. There’s more to come, you can be sure…

You have to wonder what will happen one day when his own daughters hear or read that statement, then turn to him and ask, Dad, were WE a punishment for you and Mom?
The funny thing is that when the law requires women to be paid the same as men it becomes illegal to pay a man more when his wife has a child and stays home to raise it.
We should not vilify Obama but pray for his conversion. The Lord instructed us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us.
The pro-life movement should have a more ambitious goal that simply ending abortion. That goal should be the conversion of Obama and other “pro-choice” democrats, and more than that, for the conversion of the people of the United States. The politicians are just chameleons, reflecting what is in the hearts of most of their constituents.
That said, there is plenty of historical precedent for mass conversions: the people of Russia, brought into the Orthodox church by Prince Vladimir of Kiev after his marriage to a Byzantine princess; the people of much of the Roman empire after the Emperor Constantine ended Diocletian’s great persecution; the people of Mexico after the Theotokos appeared to St. Juan Diego; the people of Ireland, by St. Patrick; the role of Emperor Charlemagne in converting the gothic tribes from Arianism to the Catholic faith.
The evil of abortion will end only after the people of the United States and Western Europe are converted from secularism to Christianity. We should all pray constantly for this great work of conversion. We should pray for our bishops, that the Lord may give them wisdom and strength to confront great evils and to lead people like Obama to true conversion.
Recall how Archbishop Ambrose of Milan forced Emperor Theodosius to do public pennance after he ordered the massacre of an entire town in Thessalonika. The case of Obama is different (he probably is not a true Christian), but the precedent still applies. May our bishops have the intestinal fortitude to bring about his conversion and penance.

I guess Obama would be like Lincoln, if Lincoln had said the following,”Slavery needs to be protected, though we will work to reduce its numbers. It is a divisive issue, but we have to keep it legal. Southern plantation owners must not be put at a disadvantage to northern businesses.”
In reality, Obama is just another blowhard.
He lacks the moral boldness that defined Lincoln.
I think this a wonderful thing. The best part is that Obama will appoint the right judges to the federal benches. Make no mistake, this is a war, and right now we are winning. January 20th marks the day that this country has started to improve for the better. I am giddy.
Jim,
I’m praying for Hitler.
Jake, Kmiec, idiots at indoctrination U with three MA’s and can’t understand there is no such thing as “SOMETHING FOR NOTHING”:
Buy gold!
You can’t take obama dollars with you. They will burn.
Don’t believe in hell?
You will when you get there.
Commented deleted. People who are “giddy” about murder don’t get commenting rights. I choose to abort this comment.
“We should not vilify Obama but pray for his conversion. The Lord instructed us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us.”
We should do both. Point out the evil, and pray for his conversion, and that of our nation.
Figures…..when good points are made, they get silenced.
“First, Moloch, horrid King, besmeared with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears;
Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud,
Their children’s cries unheard that passed through fire
To his grim idol. Him the Ammonite
Worshiped in Rabba and her watery plain,
In Argob and in Basan, to the stream
Of utmost Arnon. Nor content with such
Audacious neighbourhood, the wisest heart
Of Solomon he led by fraud to build
His temple right against the temple of God
On that opprobrious hill, and made his grove
The pleasant valley of Hinnom, Tophet thence
And black Gehenna called, the type of Hell.”
– Paradise Lost, i. 391
Jake, your only good point is on the top of your head.
Good one Scott M., you really got me there!!! How would you know what my point is??? It was censored.
Jake,
If Jeff felt the need to censor you, then your comment must have been beyond the pale (being giddy about abortion is an example). The fact that you think this action is a “good thing” displays that you are any or all of the following: immature, ignorant (about this issue in particular), lacking in any sense of decorum or taste or simply trolling. If you’d like to engage people in a real discussion then do so. And don’t make your opening gambit so sophomoric.
Um…Technically speaking, only a government agency can exercise “censorship.” Someone running a private blog has every right to edit it any way he or she wishes.
If you don’t like it, impeach him, try filing a lawsuit or ask for your money back.
The population-decimating human sacrifice from which Cortez and Our Lady of Guadalupe freed the Aztecs, is now re-instated by America.
Let us pray that Quetzalcoatl will be crushed entirely.
Jake, I have to wonder about someone who is so berefit of a life that they have nothing better to do with themselves than troll Catholic blogs. Like you’re going to convince anyone with childish gloating and sneers? Really, shouldn’t you be helping mom with the dishes or doing your algebra homework?
You know Jake,
If this WERE shooting- war,you would be a dead man already,you pathetic piece of moral sewage.
Dogs like you are the reason we have liberalism in the first place.
If I were a political cartoonist …
1st Tourist: Say, isn’t that President Obama praying before the statue of Lincoln?
2nd Tourist: Yeah, but wait, look … look at Obama’s eyes … they’re creepy!
1st Tourist: When did they add flames to that Monument?
Tour Guide: That’s not the Lincoln Monument. It’s Washington’s new Shrine of Moloch.
Jake, don’t rejoice too soon. Jesus Christ is the ultimate victor. But hopefully you’ll be converted so you’ll rejoice for the right reasons.
As for the policies of the left and of Obama, if they are fully implemented, the US will go the way that Europe is going now. Demographic death–babies are being born mainly to the Islamic immigrants. In a couple generations the Muslims will be in control in Europe. I hope it doesn’t happen but the writing is on the wall. And they don’t believe in abortion or gay “marriage” etc. So Jake, you and your fellow secular humanists are creating a “perfect storm” which will ultimately lead to the death of your ideas.
The Obaman persecution has begun. Within days of acquiring power he has unleased this orgy of bloodshed.
