White House to Meet With Anti-Abortion Activists Next Week

Melody Barnes was a long-time pro-abortion activist before going to the White House.
Yeah, that will be a productive meeting all right.

It appears that the anti-abortion guy was mudered because of his beliefs:
“The indication is that he had ill will … a grudge against these three individuals,” said Shiawassee County Prosecutor Randy Colbry. “The defendant was offended by the manner of Mr. Pouillon’s message.”
This does not prove that left-wingers are violent. It only proves that lunatics live in a depraved world of their own, and politics of whatever kind really have nothing to do with it.

“The White House responded to Yoest, and she will meet on Thursday, Sept. 17 with President Obama’s domestic policy adviser and the director of the Domestic Policy Council, Melody Barnes, and White House director of public liaison Tina Tchen. ”
Sounds good to me. I never once hear of Bush Jr meeting with the pro-choice contingent, so it is heartening to see Obama realize that he’s President of both parties and should consider all their concerns accordingly.

Do Not Believe Obama.
He will find a sneaky way to get taxpayers to pay for abortions.
How many times has he said abortion will not be in hc reform?
His word means nothing.

There they go, trying to put an anti-choice bureaucrat between a woman and her doctor.

If ACORN was doing what it is doing next door to you, I bet ABC would be covering the Government Prositution
Councling that is going on in black neighborhoods. And I guess tax cheating in now acceptable with ABC also?!?
Being that the Whitehouse fired the ACORN counclers yesterday, and the new tapes today show two more of the same, is this a story yet ????

These people are not pro-life. Their agenda includes elimination of contraception as well. This is a very tiny fringe, so far out of the mainstream they should be ridiculed, not given any legitimacy.

They also want to go after the assisted reproductive industry. Don’t think they won’t try and legislate in-vitro if given half a chance. They want couples who are going through in-vitro to only fertilize the number of eggs that will be used for that particular cycle, no freezing of embryos. This may fit thier agenda but it is not in a womans best interest health wise to take fertility drugs repeatedly when it can be done less often and the embryos can be frozen. Even DI(donor insemination)would be attacked by religious groups if given the chance. Catholics do not believe in any conception that occurs outside of sexual intercourse. But I know that my child is just as much a valued child as any other no matter how she was concieved. Don’t give these people anything. It amazes me the very same people who want government out of everyones lives stick thier noses into the most private issue for women. Nobody has any business in this area of a woman’s life.
Besides, the Republicans wouldn’t like the fact that they would have to enact more social programs to care for unwanted children and we all know that social programs are not something they promote.

I hope the President stands strong for women’s rights and freedom of choice, and gives these psychos a nice friendly meeting without giving them an inch of slack, or compromising reproductive healthcare reform.
And agreed. These people are not pro-life. They are simply anti-choice.

“If you are not ready for children, then do what you have to do to make sure you don’t get pregnant in the first place. Either ‘don’t go there’ or use birth control. It’s not like BC pills, foams, condoms, etc. aren’t available practically everywhere.”
Ah, but when Bristol Palin “went there,” certain right wingers were quick to point out that birth control isn’t 100% guaranteed, so it was still possible that the pregnant Bristol had responsibly done her contraceptive duty. One staunch conservative even claimed to have numerous acquaintances who ended up pregnant despite using birth control and following the instructions exactly. I shudder to think how this person could have been so sure of what friends were doing, or not doing, in their bedrooms. Anyhow, Bristol has refused to say if she and Levi actually used any form of contraception, even when Fox’s Greta Van Susteren asked her.

If you don’t want an abortion, then don’t have one.
As far as health care is concerned…. there are many, many reasons to terminate a pregnancy.
Saying you won’t pay for abortion will not stop them. Nor will it stop medically required terminations.
I don’t want to pay for Viagra. If a man can’t get it up, then isn’t that God’s will?
Or what about lifestyle choices, why should I pay for diabetes treatment or heart treatment???? when if the people who have these diseases were responsible, then they wouldn’t cost the system so unbelievably much….
What if you don’t believe in vaccines? Should you be forced to pay for someone else’s vaccine?
What about cosmetic surgery?
Trust women and their doctors to make the choices that are right for them.
And as far as the fallacy that every pregnancy ends in a live birth… get over that….
Not every abortion is one of convenience!

The opinions of forced-maternity psychos should not be bothered with.

“4 recent polls show that a majority of Americans call themselves pro-life.”
Mary, which 4 polls are you referring to?
I was able to find only one poll conducted during 2009 that showed a majority (more than 50%) of pro-lifers. This was a May Gallup poll in which 51% considered themselves pro-life. However, when Gallup asked the same question in July, the number had fallen back down to 47%.

Interesting breakdown from a June CBS News/New York Times Poll:
More than 35 years ago, the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe versus Wade established a constitutional right for women to obtain legal abortions in this country. In general, do you think the Court’s decision was a good thing or a bad thing?
Republicans
40% Good Thing
51% Bad Thing
Democrats
74% Good Thing
21% Bad Thing
Independents
63% Good Thing
30% Bad Thing

YOU NAILED IT! These people are the biggest hypocrits ever. They DONT want government to provide health care, invade their privacy or tell them nothing. But they want government to controle womens body, identify illegal immigrants and leave them on the streets to die with no access to health care! YES! THEY ARE American Talibans!

It’s depressing, to say the least, that President Obama and his staff have time to meet everyone except the people who support what purports to be his agenda.
And what is the point of this meeting, anyhow? We and the Obama administration already know that what these people want is to impose their own religious views on the rest of the country. We, they, and the Obama Administration already know that federal law already bars federal funding of abortion. And we and they, and hopefully the Obama Administration, already know that there is very little likelihood that regardless of what appeasement is given, they will support reform of health care.
There is a major difference between getting input from different perspectives and abandoning one’s own principles. It’s long past time that President Obama learned the difference.

I want to give this person respect for meetng with the President and being willing to discuss her position with him, rather than calling him names and carrying disgraceful signs at rallies without ever having discovered what his position actually is.
I want the right wingers I know to give him the benefit of the doubt and try on believing what he actually says; good for this group for actually doing it.

Tina Tchen gave the opening address at the Planned Parenthood Conference this year (they performed 300,000 abortions last year). She used to be the a VP of NOW. This is the person that Obama has meeting with pro-lifers. Come on! This guy talks about “common ground”. I think we can all agree by these actions that he is full of it.

Rudy’s response to my post below explains my point exactly – Tchen, like Rudy, probably believes that Yoest spits on women’s rights. Now that I have had some more time to think about this though, Obama has filled the White House with former employees of Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List, NARAL and other pro-choice groups. He has the appearance but he is simply not a common ground guy. Maybe he doesn’t have anybody else to speak with the pro-lifers. Wake up America – this guy doesn’t build coalitions by policy, he builds them by words only – eventually people will catch on.

Rudy wrote “Yes, what was Obama thinking? There can be no common ground between a person who embraces women’s rights and a person who spits on them.”

Why are Pro-Life people always called ANTI-ABORTION ACTIVITS or ANTI-CHOICE and Pro-Abortion people are called Pro-Choice?
Those of us against the killing of innocent human lives can be referred to as Pro-Life, ABC.
