Obama Culture of Death Update™: President’s Faith-Based Council Punts on "Reducing Abortions" Yet Again

Tom Peters reports:

I have some simple questions to ask Doug Kmiec, Catholics United, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, Catholic Democrats, the editors of The National Catholic Reporter (most particularly Michael Sean Winters, a prominent liberal writer for them), and any high-visibility Catholic professor, pundit or blogger who claimed, time and time again last year, that Barack Obama would actively work to reduce the number of abortions.

They said he was the “pro-life” candidate. They said where republicans only paid lip service, Obama would deliver results. They said we, who did not believe his token promises, were guilty of undermining our best chance to “find common ground” on this issue since Roe v. Wade.

414 day in office and counting, and Obama hasn’t done squat to reduce the number of abortions in this country.

In fact, under his watch, the faith-based council has just punted – again – on this issue...

[...]

Instead, Obama has been busying himself with pushing a health care plan that includes money for abortions, and will siphon billions of dollars into organizations like Planned Parenthood which run the abortion mills in this country.

I’ve written before that one of the most important virtues to have in politics is memory. We must remember what others have said, what arguments they have made, and then evaluate their long-term consequences. Through this process, we can come to an accurate evaluation about the trustworthiness of individuals and the arguments they make.

So my simple questions to the individuals and organizations mentioned above is: why were you wrong? Why has Obama done exactly what I (and others) predicted (nothing) and why has he not even tried to do what you promised he would do if we voted him into office? ...
