Obama and the Pope discuss abortion and marriage
Newsmax is reporting today that Pope Benedict and President Obama have spoken about gay marriage and abortion.
According to sources, Obama supports the idea of traditional marriage but doesn’t support restrictions on abortion.
When abortion was discussed, Obama is reported to have said: “We agree to disagree.” (I doubt the Pope actually agreed to this philosophical detente.)
On the issue of abortion policy, National Public Radio is reporting that Obama is expected to issue an executive order revoking a Bush policy that bars international family-planning organizations that offer abortion services from receiving US government aid.
Asking US taxpayers to pay for abortion services at home or abroad denies pro-lifers the moral choice to not finance a practice they consider to be murder. This is one Bush initiative that should stay in place.

Most dissapointed in President Obama's views on abortion. He will be guilty of countless MURDERS and will be judged very harshly by Our Lord on the Day of Judgement. The President ought to bow his head in shame.
