Report From Washington – June 1, 2012

THE PRESIDENCY
OBAMA: GENDER SELECTIVE ABORTIONS OK – Apparently President Barack Obama has never met an abortion he didn’t like. Although virtually every European nation and Canada prohibit abortions done selectively by sex, Obama said he was against any law prohibiting abortions based on the sex of the child. With his support, Democrats defeated a bill in the House that would outlaw abortions for the purpose of sex selection. Undercover videos revealed, and Planned Parenthood confirmed, that it would abort children based on sex except in the four states where doing so is illegal. Read more

NEW AD POINTS TO MORE OBAMA VIOLATIONS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM – The Religious Freedom Coalition has a continuing advertising campaign designed to stop President Barack Obama’s frequent attacks on religious freedom. This past weekend, an ad listing even more of Obama’s egregious insults to religious freedom was placed in the weekly edition of the New York Times which is distributed in Washington, DC and mailed to all 50 states.

CONGRESS
PRENDA VOTE – My good friend Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) introduced H.R. 3541, the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA) after learning that Planned Parenthood would abort babies for the purpose of sex-selection. The bill was considered under suspension, requiring a two-thirds majority to pass. PRENDA failed to reach the two-thirds majority. The final vote of 246 to 168 was because of massive Democrat opposition. A total of 7 Republicans and 161 Democrats did not agree with most Americans, that abortions based on sex-selection are wrong.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
BLACK PASTORS ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE – Shortly after President Obama and the NAACP endorsed same-sex marriage as a civil liberties issue, African-American pastors met in Washington, DC and were interviewed on the issue. The vast majority do not believe marriage rites should be extended to homosexuals and lesbians. Read more
NO SHARIA FOR KANSAS –A bill banning foreign laws, including Sharia Islamic law, from being used in Kansas to determine legal matters was signed by GOP Kansas Governor Sam Brownback recently. Both the Kansas House and Senate had voted overwhelmingly in favor. While opponents say Muslim tenets are unfairly targeted by the legislation, supporters say it is designed to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Read more
NO STRAIGHT SEX FOR CALIFORNIA – The California Senate voted 23-13 in favor of a bill prohibiting counselors and therapists from telling young people it is possible to change same-sex attractions. The bill has sparked outrage from individuals who have overcome unwanted same-sex feelings sparked by childhood sexual abuse. It is also being opposed by Pacific Justice Institute, whose attorneys believe its blanket ban on certain types of counseling is unconstitutional. Read more

UK PRISON INMATES FORCED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM – Prisoners are under pressure to convert to an Islamic “gang” at a high-security jail, with non-Muslims in fear of violence just for cooking bacon, according to an official report. Muslim prisoners at the top security jail doubled in two years. Muslims represent around a third of all prisoners at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire.
