Earlier today, President Obama signed an executive order striking down a rule that prohibits U.S. money from funding international family-planning clinics that promote abortion or provide counseling or referrals about abortion services.*
"Not even waiting a week, the new administration has acted to funnel U.S. tax dollars to abortion providers overseas," Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia, said in a written statement.
I'm not surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised. It's a political ping pong match. Reagan started the policy in 1984 to prevent tax dollars from being used in international abortion clinics. Clinton canceled it as one of his first acts as President in 1993. It was reinstated by President Bush in 2001. Now it's Obama's turn.
Whichever party is in power either cancels or reinstates the order, depending on their ideals. That's one of the reasons I'm a huge fan of Reagan and, yes, even a fan of George W. Bush. They upheld the rights of the unborn.
With one stroke of a pen, President Obama ordered the execution of thousands, if not millions, of unborn children. And he's using our tax dollars to fund it.

Well said, my brother. My heart breaks because so many people who claim to follow Christ can sit idly by and let the executive of the unborn rage on unchallenged.
