Obama and the Freedom of Choice Act

Obama has promised Planned Parenthood that the first thing he'll do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). Here's the video of him making the promise.

FOCA is a pro-abortion bill that would undo decades of painstaking work by the pro-life community, including parental notification rules (under FOCA a 15 year old could get an abortion without her parents even knowing), waiting periods (to discourage impulsive or coerced abortions), federal funding restrictions (so we would all have to pay for abortions with our tax dollars), and more. Basically it would make abortions much more frequent and more supported by the government.

Of course, Planned Parenthood would love for FOCA to be signed into law, as they make millions of dollars by providing abortions.

But I don't think this is the kind of policy that we want; polls show that most Americans do not support unrestricted abortion on demand, and they certainly want parental notification and similar laws. Here's just one example of that.
