What Recession? ***Politics warning***

From Isaac's blog.

For a nation in a recession with record deficits, our government sure has some interesting priorities. As Obama gave an inspiring speech on how he is going to cut our deficit over four years back to the level he inherited last month, he made the same tired old promises of fiscal responsibility. But what is his idea of fiscal responsibility?

One of Obama's first acts was to repeal the Mexico City Policy. The result is that we are now printing money for abortion overseas. While we argue about whether or not a train from Disneyland to Las Vegas will stimulate the economy, our children's tax dollars are buying today's abortions in other countries. What deficit?

Now, in addition to the millions going overseas for abortion and subsidizing Planned Parenthood here in the states, Obama is now asking for $50 million to help fund the UNFPA (UN Population Control Fund).

Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute writes in the Huffington Post:

"The UNFPA spends a huge chunk of its budget on soporific propaganda -- the agency continues to be fixated on the numbers. We have documented its involvement in coercive population control policies in countries like China, Vietnam, Peru, and North Korea, as well as in refugee camps around the world.

Its intimate connection to China's brutal one-child policy merits special attention. For three long decades, the Chinese government has aborted and sterilized millions of women each year. For three long decades, the UNFPA has provided financial aid, ideological encouragement, and international sanction to these abuses through its offices in Beijing and around the Chinese countryside. This shameless pattern of complicity in some of the worst human rights abuses on the planet is the chief reason why the Bush administration, for seven years running, has refused to fund the UN agency."

The US state department has confirmed the Population Research Institute's research. So how about that? In our supposed worse economy since the Great Depression, we are going to send $50 million dollars overseas to fund abortion and the sterilization of women in the name of "population control". And I thought Obama was a pro-choice president? Turns out he is a Nancy Pelosi-style pro-choice president. You are free to make the choice as long as our collective choices result in a reduction in our population.

Here is my question: how is this not the ultimate hypocrisy? While crying that we must do "something" to fix the economy, we are sending tax dollars and printed money overseas for forced abortions. While claiming fiscal responsibility we are spending money we don't have on the UN's agenda. The party who protested our troops killing terrorists, calling our generals traitors for winning in Iraq, is now fine with sending millions overseas to kill the most innocent among us. The party of choice is choosing to take my dollars and fund oppressive regimes in their quest to rob women of choice, but it's OK because it results in more abortions. God forbid we do anything to restrict abortion, no matter who is actually making the choice.

Does it scare anyone else that the pro-abortion fanatics running our country are living vicariously through dictators and regimes that are not held back by a pesky constitution? Does it scare anyone else that we are borrowing money from China so that we can fund oppressive Chinese social policy? Does it scare anyone else that the only people who can stop UNFPA from coming to the US are the very ones who have advocated population control as a form of stimulus? It scares me to death.
