Clinton: Our Pro-Abortion Ex-President

He told us at the democratic convention that "I hate abortion!" And yet, look at his words and record since.

NOTE: This is NOT a statement from from any particular parish or diocese. Rather, it is an entirely PERSONAL opinion.

The very day that he took office, President Clinton, kept his promise to remove federal bans against fetal research. Dedicated to their cause, he has filled many posts in his administration with Planned Parenthood personnel. Indeed, the pro-abortion industry considers him, his wife (now Senator) Hillary, and the Gores as the best friends they ever had. Research grants were offered to the NIH for experimentation on human embryos; he encouraged the World Health Organization in its American testing of the French abortion drug RU-486; he removed Reagan's long-standing federal restrictions on taxpayer-funded abortions; the White House sought to suppress legitimate protest in front of abortion clinics; he sent an official United States delegation, largely made up of NARAL and Planned Parenthood members, to the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development; he has made access to America's foreign aid programs dependent upon the implementation of widespread usage of artificial contraception, sterilization, and abortion; he has praised China's initiatives at population control even though they include forced sterilizations and abortions; he has urged the United Nations to make abortion an integral component of their population control agenda in developing countries; his one Supreme Justice appointee was a lawyer for Planned Parenthood, as was his top aide the late Ron Brown, and the list goes on and on.

At least the President's public and private life on this matter is consistent. The woman with whom he purportedly had an intimate relationship back in Arkansas, made no secret of the fact that he paid for the abortion of their unborn child. Does he ever remember his lost son or daughter in prayer? Is there no sorrow or regret?

Despite all this, the President has told us that he HATES abortion. If this is the case, given the harvest of death under his leadership, then may heaven spare us from what such a LOVE might bring. What is the old saying? Oh yes, "Actions speak louder than words." Regarding his closing scandals in the White House, he has said that it was an entirely "personal matter," the same reasoning (or lack thereof) used to promote abortion.

Let us PRAY for our president and for all government leaders, past and present. Despite the caricatures on this page, no ultimate claim is made about anyone's personal salvation. However, we must still decry sin and warn our brothers and sisters about what is clearly wrong and a violation of human dignity. Those who support abortion on demand and partial birth infanticide are spiritually walking on very thin ice. May they know a true conversion in Christ and renounce the message of death for the Gospel of Life. Let us pray for all mothers and fathers, that they will protect the child in the womb as a priceless treasure and a reflection of the Christ-child. Let us pray for the child, that God will shower his care and love upon those rejected by their parents and our society. Let us pray for ourselves, that our response to abortion will be one of love, prayer, and peaceful protest.

God bless America!

Amen.
