Barack Obama’s
First 100 Days of Death
By
Jill Stanek - WorldNetDaily
On January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama began
his ‘death march’ as the most ‘anti-life’ President in U.S. history.
Wednesday, April 29th marked Obama’s 100th
day in office. This list substantiates Obama’s personnel choices and policies
to that end. He actually started 
way
before Day 1:
Day -75: Names pro-abortion Rahm Emmanuel as
chief of staff, who earned a 100 percent approval rating from NARAL while
congressman.
Day -59: Appoints executive director of
EMILY’s List, Ellen Moran, as White House communications director.
Day -56: Names Melody Barnes, who previously
served on the boards of EMILY’s List and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, as
his director of the Domestic Policy Council.
Day -51: Nominates pro-abortion Susan Rice
as ambassador to the United Nations; Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards
commends her in press release.
Day -51: Nominates pro-abortion Arizona Gov.
Janet Napolitano as secretary of homeland security, who vetoed her state’s
partial birth abortion ban.
Day -41: Nominates pro-abortion and
pro-universal health (abortion) care Sen. Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health
and Human Services (SHH).
Day -41: Appoints pro-abortion Jeanne
Lambrew as deputy director of newly created Office of Health Care Reform under
Daschle, which Planned Parenthood heralded as “exciting” in a statement.
Day -41: White House transition team
publishes 55-page list of demands from pro-abortion groups.
Day -31: Nominates embryonic stem cell
research and human cloning advocates Harold Varmus and Jonathan Moreno to the
President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Day -16: Chooses pro-abortion Virginia Gov.
Tim Kaine as Democratic Party chairman.
Day -16: Nominates pro-abortion, pro-porn
David Ogden as deputy attorney general.
Day -16: Nominates former ACLU and NARAL
counsel Dawn Johnsen as Assistant Attorney General. Johnsen has called
motherhood “involuntary servitude,” “pregnancy
is slavery,” and has said that restrictions on abortion make women
nothing more than “fetal containers.”
Day -16: Nominates Thomas Perrelli, former
pro-euthanasia attorney for Terri Shindler Schiavo’s
husband Michael, to head the Office of Legal Counsel
at the Department of Justice.
Day -16: Nominates pro-abortion former
Harvard Law School dean Elena Kagan as solicitor general, with the buzz she is
on short list as next Supreme Court nominee; she supports taxpayer funding of
abortion.
Day 1: At 12:01 p.m. EST, the White House
website is instantly and completely transformed from pro-life to pro-abortion.
Scrubbed is President Bush’s Sanctity of Human Life proclamation issued the
week before in commemoration of Jan. 22, the anniversary Roe v. Wade, and all
else heralding preborn life. In its place: “President Obama … has been a
consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s
rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his administration. … He opposes any
constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in that case.”
Day 1: Signals his intention to fund human
embryo experimentation by stating in his inaugural address, “We will restore
science to its rightful place.”
Day 4: Reverses Mexico City Policy,
releasing taxpayer money to international organizations that promote or commit
abortions (for which Obama received 35 percent approval in a Gallup Poll,
making this his least popular decision to date).
Day 4: Releases statement expressing desire
for Congress to restore funding to the United Nations Population Fund, which
has previously been found to aid in China’s coercive abortion and sterilization
program.
Day 17: After attending National Day of
Prayer breakfast, signs executive order redirecting the Office of Faith Based
Initiatives to include a “focus on family planning,” according to National Public
Radio.
Day 24: Nominates former House co-sponsor of
the Freedom of Choice Act, Leon Panetta, as CIA director.
Day 38: Signals commitment to comprehensive
sex ed by including it in his 2010 budget.
Day 39: Announces plan to repeal Bush
regulations enforcing protection of health care entities and workers not to
participate in morally abhorrent practices.
Day 40: After Daschle withdraws as HHS Secretary
nominee, chooses radically pro-abortion Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who accepted
campaign contributions from notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller and
welcomed him into the governor’s mansion. Sebelius is one of the most
pro-abortion governors in the country who
has financial ties to late-term abortionist George Tiller.
Day 45: Holds “health care summit” at White
House, inviting only pro-abortion groups.
Day 46: Creates new post of ambassador for
global women’s issues and appoints Melanne Verveer, abortion activist and
former chief of staff to first lady Hillary Clinton; according to the
Associated Press, she “pledged…’deep commitment’…[to] slowing the world’s
population explosion and empowering women…through…the right to choose if and
when to become pregnant.”
Day 49: Signs executive order providing taxpayer
funding of human embryo experimentation and overturns Bush executive order
funding alternative morally 
acceptable
adult stem cell research.
Day 50: Announces 30-day review period with
intent to overturn HHS regulations enforcing conscience protections of health
care entities and workers.
Day 51: Signs bill into law restoring UNFPA’s
funding – to a record $50 million.
Day 51: Signs bill into law (which he
sponsored as senator) restoring cut rate wholesale birth control pill prices to
Planned Parenthood.
Day 51: Signs bill into law increasing “family
planning” funding by $7 million and cutting abstinence funding by $14 million.
Day 51: Signs bill into law increasing
international “family planning” funding by $30 million.
Day 51: Announces establishment of the White
House Council on Women and Girls, which the National Organization for Women “cheers”
in a statement, appoints former NOW VP Tina Tchen to head.
Day 51: Obama administration promotes
unlimited right to abortion at U.N. Commission on the Status of Women meeting
and denies negative effects of abortion.
Day 54: Nominates pro-abortion Dr. Margaret
Hamburg as Food and Drug Administration commissioner.
Day 54: Nominates Joshua Sharfstein as
deputy Food and Drug Administration commissioner, who once wrote pro-life laws “undermine
women’s health.”
Day 57: Makes first pro-abortion judicial
pick in former ACLU board member David Hamilton as U.S. circuit judge, who
previously blocked implementation of an informed consent law before abortion.
Day 78: Nominates pro-abortion Yale Law
School dean Harold Hongju Koh as the State Department’s legal adviser, who
believes in the international right to abortion and was former clerk to Supreme
Court Justice Harry Blackmun, who authored the Roe v Wade decision.
Day 85: Department of Homeland Security
releases document calling pro-life activists potential domestic terrorist
threats.
Day 94: FDA refuses to appeal court ruling
ordering over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill to 17-year-old girls
and boys.
While President Obama appears addicted to
campaign mode audience adulation and maintains an extremely heavy
travel schedule, he has left his day-to-day operations, policy decisions,
and speechwriting in the hands of serious abortion industry and activist
players. Furthermore, by personnel and
policy announcements to date, the Obama administration has signaled its
intention to push his abortion agenda on the world.
This is only the start.
