I Guess Human Rights Apply Only To Those Who Support Abortion
Here is a statement put out Friday (26 February 2009) by Fr. Thomas Euteneuer of Human Life International about Obama's latest anti-life move. What really gets me is how Obama & the Dems in Congress couch their actions in the name of human rights, while putting in effect policies that are on a scale of being as repressive to those who oppose abortion as anything Stalin or Hitler did to those who disagreed with them. What next? Gulags, prison camps, reeducation centers for Pro-lifers? Don't laugh, I am very serious. This is exactly the road we are heading down.
We must keep praying. This is a battle of cosmic proportions that we are in. I have posted before about the demonic side to this battle & will continue to do so. We must know our enemy. We must use spiritual weapons God has provided. & we must do so with the realization that in the end, Jesus will be victorious. His death on the Cross & Resurrection have ensured that no matter how dark things seem now, the victory IS ours. Not because God is on our side, but because we are on God's side in this battle.

HLI President slams Obama’s and Congress’ “anti-life one-upmanship”
FRONT ROYAL, VA — Father Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International (HLI), today lambasted President Barack Obama for his decision to reverse the Bush administration’s action guaranteeing freedom of conscience for medical providers, as well as the members of Congress who voted to restore funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
“Any pretense of ‘moderation’ on life issues was long ago dispensed with,” said Fr. Euteneuer. “But with the rescinding of the Mexico City Policy, the appointment of dozens of radical anti-life cabinet members and staff, the enormous increase in funding for contraception and irresponsible sex advocacy, and now these grave insults to human life and dignity… one shudders to think what could be next.”
“It’s as if the president and Congress are trying to outdo each other for the dishonor of who can forward the most extreme anti-life agenda,” said Father Euteneuer.
On Wednesday, Congress approved the restoration of funding to the UNFPA as part of a $410 billion Omnibus spending bill approved by the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Funding for the UNFPA was eliminated under President George W. Bush after it became known that UNFPA supported the enforcement of China’s one-child policy, which often includes forced abortion and sterilization. The 1998 report (Clowes, B., “Why the United States Should Not Resume UNFPA Funding”, 1999, PRI) which brought this to light was authored by HLI’s director of research and training, Brian Clowes, PhD.
“What advocate of human rights thinks coerced abortion and sterilization is a good idea? Yet everyone knows that the UNFPA has been shown to support this policy in China and has refused to distance itself from the practice,” said Fr. Euteneuer.
“Like everyone who believes in human dignity, I am tired of these cowards in Congress trying to sneak these destructive, anti-life measures into bills that are supposed to be helping our country emerge from this recession,” said Fr. Euteneuer. “And I’m tired of President Obama’s ‘Choice for me, but not for thee’ hypocrisy. His audacity is not of hope, but of the destruction of freedom and human life!”
