“President Barack Obama on Friday struck down the Bush administration’s ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information — an inflammatory policy that has bounced in and out of law for the past quarter-century. Obama’s executive order, the latest in an aggressive first week reversing contentious Bush policies, was warmly welcomed by liberal groups and denounced by abortion rights foes.The ban has been a political football between Democratic and Republican administrations since GOP President Ronald Reagan first adopted it 1984. Democrat Bill Clinton ended the ban in 1993, but Republican George W. Bush re-instituted it in 2001 as one of his first acts in office.” NY Times.
Mais grave do que isto é a pretensão de Obama de tornar lei o Freedom Of Choice Act – como de resto prometeu – que retira todas as pequenas restrições que os republicanos conseguiram assegurar para os casos de aborto. Em suma, uma das leis mais iníquas que algum governante pode patrocinar. Perante isto, uns socos nuns terroristas são peanuts. Mas claro, Obama é um redentor e o tipo da esperança e o bonzinho que agora governa o mundo.
