Demonstrators Criticize Obama In San Francisco

They chanted “There shall be a world without demons.”  Well it didn’t take long.  I wondered when the first protest would take place against something our President thought worthy of action.

On Saturday, abortion rights opponents marched in San Francisco for the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.  This is the fifth year of the march and decided to criticize President Obama’s action of lifting a ban on federal funds to international family planning groups who offer abortions.

In the words of Reverend Clenard Childress Jr. with the Life Education and Resource Network, “We should let him know we are not going to accept a radical pro abortion agenda and we should let him know we support him in just laws, not unjust laws.”

Radical?  What is radical about lifting that ban?  Unjust laws?  Not allowing a woman to choose what is right for her is unjust - not the other way around.  Mr. Reverend, I now would like to ask you a question, have you ever heard of equal rights for all?

    You wrote, “have you ever heard of equal rights for all? ”

    What about the rights of that unborn human being? When do they get rights? How about the father - does he get any rights? 50% of the DNA is from his body.

    If you want everyone to have rights - then it makes sense to give rights to the most defenseless among us - the unborn living human.

    Many Americans do not wish their dollars to be used in promoting the murder of babies at home or around the world.
