Here's my bold prediction for the next Congress if Obama wins. First piece of legislation they will pass will be Card Check. First piece of regulation will be reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine.
And the first thing Obama will do?
"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." -- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007
The National Organization of Women says that FOCA "would sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws, policies." Planned Parenthood says FOCA "would invalidate existing and future laws that interfere with or discriminate against the exercise of the rights protected."
What are some of these state laws? The Family Research Council has complied the following list:
All 50 states have abortion reporting requirements
46 states have conscience-protection laws for individual health-care providers
44 states have laws about parental notification
40 states have laws restricting late-term abortions
38 states have bans on partial-birth abortions
33 states have laws requiring counseling before an abortion
16 states have laws about having ultrasounds before an abortion
One of the states that has had FOCA-type acts on the books since 1991 is Maryland. The result of eliminating all restrictions and regulations, unsurprisingly, is that the Maryland rate of abortion has risen while the national rate of abortion has fallen.
Forgot about that promise. Reducing abortions, by making them more accessible.

One has to wonder just who Rick is trying to convince. It certainly can't be anyone who can read and has the interest in doing independent research.

I'm sure you'll take great pride in the election of a man who tells you that you aren't good enough to make it through life without his help.
