NARAL's Abortion Rights Activist of the Year

Despite it only being March, Naral has locked up the decision to give it's Abortion Rights Activist of the Year Award to Barack Obama. In the 6 short weeks since Obama's been inaugurated he's:

— proposed to rescind Health & Human Services’s regulation aimed at protecting the conscience rights of physicians and others, especially in the context of abortion. This means that Catholic doctors would be forced to perform abortions above their moral objections.

— permitted U.S. government funding of organizations sponsoring abortion provision around the world (i.e., rescission of the so-called “Mexico City Policy”). How is this Constitutional?

— nominated Kathleen Seblieus, an aggressively pro-choice Catholic to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is the same lady who has protected George "The Baby Killer" Tiller, a notorious late term abortionist. Any efforts by the Kansas legislation to curtail his viable baby killing efforts were vetoed by Ms. Seblieus.

— reversed the ban on federal funding of embryo-destroying stem-cell research. The media liked to portray it as a ban on research. However, it was just a ban on funding the research with taxpayer money. It was always legal to destroy embroys in the name of stem cell research with private money, which was bad enough. Now, to twist the knife, you will be forced to finance it through your taxes.
