..."FOCA is of course, the Freedom of Choice Act, which would codify the right to obtain and to provide abortion care as held in Roe vs. Wade. The bill would overturn hundreds of medically unnecessary state level laws designed as obstacles and delaying tactics, such as mandatory waiting periods. The bill has been introduced every year since 1987 but not yet this year. President Obama has said he would sign it if it ever reaches his desk."....

..."But creating "The Facts About FOCA" is just the beginning. HUMAN EVENTS will then publicize and distribute it on a massive scale, both in print versions and online, to provoke a massive outpouring of voter outrage that will stop this evil law from being enacted.

Included among the activists, opinion-makers, and other influential citizens to whom HUMAN EVENTS will distribute "The Facts About FOCA" will be:

* Pro-life, conservative, and/or Republican activist groups on HUMAN EVENTS' own extensive nationwide list, with an invitation to help spread the word by ordering and distributing inexpensive bulk reprints of the report

* Top editors, reporters, and syndicated columnists on every major metropolitan and regional paper in America, plus many local ones. HUMAN EVENTS will give them blanket advance permission to reproduce the report in whole or in part, without paying royalties

* Talk-radio hosts in every radio market in the country, from Rush Limbaugh on down. Again, HUMAN EVENTS will allow them to quote from it as extensively as they wish, at no cost

* TV news editors, anchors, and reporters at all the networks and cable news channels, as well as local affiliates

* All 435 members of the U.S. House and Senate, with additional copies for their staff members and committee aides

* More than 150,000 dedicated HUMAN EVENTS readers

The letter goes on to brag that Human Events helped its "sister company, Regnery"(the conservative book publisher) publicize the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth claims about John Kerry and make their book "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" a best seller. "...

Just WHY are they SO obsessed with abortion & birth control?

1. Just WHY are they SO obsessed with abortion & birth control? easy one to answer

for at least some people anyway, a lot of people believe that its a child from conception, a lot of people see 3D sonagrams and see a child in the womb, they will never convince you and you will never convince them otherwise..

2. yet THEY want to force ME to live THEIR VALUES, not MY VALUES

& I will not.

3. think of it this way, would you step in to stop someone abusing a three year old

well a lot of the people against abortion dont see any difference between the two, it simply comes down to when someone believes we are talking about a child and the protection of said child. as i said you will never convince the other side and they wont convince you...

4. Not to worry

That bill is going nowhere in Congress anyway.
