A Pro-Abortion Liar Once Again
Obama insisted to Congress that it was not true that healthcare reform caused federally funded abortion. The US Bishops welcomed the statement but pro-life groups wondered how it could be true. Obama refused to say. The House had passed the phony Capps amendment, which pays for abortion with federal funds in the public insurance option while simply declaring that they aren't federal funds, even though the abortionist sends his bill to the US Treasury and gets a check therefrom. Last week the Bishops said enough is enough: all the health plans either pay for abortion outright or do it by the phony Capps arrangement, so unless that is changed we will oppose health care reform "vigorously."

A new report by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute-- named after a president of Planned Parenthood-- has found that the worldwide number of abortions fell from 45.5 million in 1995 to 41.6 million in 2003, a decline of 8.6%.
The report found that over one in five of the world’s abortions-- 8.8 million in 2003-- occur in China. Observing that “China imposed an urban population policy of one child per family in the 1980s,” the Guttmacher Institute did not condemn the one-child policy or reports of forced abortions, but instead praised the “high degree of safety” with which abortions are conducted in the Communist nation.

bishop warns against same-sex marriage
Five weeks after his ordination as Bishop of Helsinki, Bishop Teemu Jyrki Juhani Sippo, SCI, has warned the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland that ecumenical relations will suffer if Finnish Lutherans follow the example of Swedish Lutherans and bless homosexual marriages.
Bishop Sippo also spoke out against the distribution of condoms to youths. “Handing out condoms is like telling people to use them,” he said. “I believe youths should instead be encouraged to practice abstinence.”

Same Sex "Marriages
Late last night, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger further undermined marriage and the family in California by signing SB 54, a bill to recognize same-sex “marriages” in California that were performed in other states or countries. With the Governor’s signature, out-of-state same-sex “marriages” performed prior to the passage of Prop 8 on November 4, 2009, are now valid in California. Same-sex “marriages” performed after the passage of Prop 8 are now also recognized in California with “the same rights, protections, and benefits” as marriage with the exception of using the word “marriage”.

Obama’s remarks on abortion
The associate director of pro-life activities at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCBC) has welcomed President Obama’s recent statement that under his health care reform proposal, federal funds would not be used to pay for abortions. “We especially welcome the President’s commitment to exclude federal funding of abortion, and to maintain existing federal laws protecting conscience rights in health care,” said Richard Doerflinger. During his September 9 health care address, President Barack Obama had said, “And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up-- under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.”
