Common Ground?

On January 22, 1973, Roe v Wade was decided by the Supreme Court, legalizing abortion. Now, 36 years later, one can hardly count the 48,000,000+ babies aborted in America. So how does the new administration which promises to seek common ground on abortion commemorate the day? By allowing overseas organizations to use our tax money to perform abortions. Later today, President Obama will sign an executive order allowing federal money (that’s our tax dollars) to be used to abort babies around the world. The common ground? He decided to wait until today, the 23rd, so as not to offend anyone by signing the order on the actual anniversary of Roe v Wade… that’s some common ground. (Plus, I’m sure this will pull us out of a recession as well – glad this was a top priority.) I’m not surprised, but I am saddened that we seem to place so little value on life.
