I do realize that abortion itself is a very political and controversial issue. But I've been thinking a lot lately about a bill that is SO radical for both pro-choice and pro-life, it is a bill that's called the "Freedom of Choice Act" and I want to share with you how it will negatively affect our country. Many people have never even heard about this bill, let alone know what it is. Dont be fooled by it's pretty name... The "Freedom of Choice Act" is the most extreme piece of legislation ever. It is hard to believe that something so incredibly bold and radical could ever even be considered!
This "Freedom of Choice Act" creates a new and dangerous "right." It establishes the right to an abortion as a fundamental right, placing it up there with the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, etc that are in the U.S Constitution.
It will force religious based hospitals to perform abortions. This means if you are a doctor or a nurse and happen to have morals and a belief in Christ, you will NOT have the "Freedom of Choice" to say NO to a patient that wants an abortion. This patient could be 9 months pregnate, and if the doctor refuses, he can get sued, loose his license and loose his job!!! Where's the Freedom in this "Freedom of Choice Act"???
This bill will overturn EVERY law currently in effect for abortion. Among these, the ban on Partial birth abortion. This abortion is performed between 4-9 months in pregnancy.
Now what exactly is partial birth abortion?
Using forcepts the abortionist pulls out the baby's leg and delivers the baby except for the head. Then he JAMS scissors into the back of the baby's head, and sucks out the baby's brains with a vacume tube... Babies at this stage are sensitive to pain, imagine the pain they go through in this procedure. The Freedom of Choice Act will make this inhumaine and barbaric procedure LEGAL!!!! I dont believe there's anything that justifies doing something this CRUEL to an unborn baby. Research it here:

The "Born Alive Infant Protection Act" will also be overturned. This bill was put in place after the truth got out about what happens to these little pre-mature babies who survive botched abortions. These suffering little babies were wrapped up in a blanket and taken to soiled utility rooms to die-- Without comfort care for those that were just too small to make it, OR even medical care for those babies who COULD if given the required medical help.
Watch this video, it is incredible!

What justifies not giving care to little babies that are OUTSIDE the mothers womb, ALIVE, and suffering for hours until they die??
It is the equivolent of wrapping a plastic bag over your head and waiting until you run out of oxygen.
If the Freedom of Choice Act is passed, it will make this cruel act LEGAL...! Dont believe it? I encourage you to research it for yourself, just google "Born Alive Infant Protection." and google Freedom of Choice Act.
The Freedom of Choice document introduced in House states:
"It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman. "
The problem is when they use the term "Health of a Woman," this isnt only applying for cases when the woman's life is in danger. This, applies to almost anything, such as stress on the woman which leads to "it's affecting her health..." See the lOoPhOLeS?
This bill will take away parental consent in ALL 50 STATES making it legal for minors to get an abortion. This means that 13 and 14 year old little girls can get an abortion without their parents ever even KNOWING! And what's worse she could get an abortion by an under- qualified non-physician (YES, that's another one, it will take away the requirement that only a licensed physician can perform an abortion) who wouldnt even have her medical records. This negatively affects EVERY PARENT in the USA. Young teenagers dont think things through clearly and they need their parents to be involved so that they can make a well thought out decision and clearly look at all of their options. Rather than going to secretly get in abortion acting out of fear and not measuring the consequences of their actions, which explains how they got pregnate in the first place.
President elect Barack Obama has already publicly stated that he supports the Freedom of Choice Act and that the FIRST thing he'll do as president, is sign it. Watch the video on youtube:

So the question is, what do we do? What can we do? Well first, you can sign the petition (Click on the picture below):
This petition is important because it will be sent to congress and to Obama to show them how many american people do not support this bill.
But we cant stop there! The next important step, is to contact our state representatives and express our concerns. It doesnt have to be this long letter, you can send them an e-mail and just tell them in your own words, as YOUR state representative- NOT to support the Freedom of Choice Act. They will listen because YOU are the reason they have their job, you voted for them. And if they get a ton of e-mails like this, they wont ignore them because they want to keep their jobs in the next election.
You can contact them here and send them a direct message:

I just want to say that you can make a difference. Please educate yourself and educate others on what this bill is, and what they can do. Tell your friends and family, tell EVERYONE!
A group of friends and I just filmed a video that educates people on what the Freedom of Choice Act is and how they can stop it. We're hoping to have that edited and published on youtube and other organizations soon so that it can begin circulating online. I will keep you posted so that you can watch it and forward it to your friends and family.
