The REAL Abortion Extremists 
     Democrats and the media have been hyperventilating lately over abortion and supposedly just how extreme the Republican Party is on the issue. As usual the left-wing pundits and their liberal Democrat allies have it wrong. When it comes to abortion, Barack Obama and the Democrats are the real extremists!
     Below is a brief history of Obama's record on abortion. From the votes he has cast to his actions as president, Obama has staked out radical positions, appointed executives from the highest levels of the abortion industry to direct public policy and spent your hard-earned tax dollars to promote abortion. Note the contrast between Obama's positions and public opinion. It's clear who the real extremist is.

Barack Obama: Extreme On Abortion
As an Illinois state senator:

• Barack Obama twice voted "Present" -- essentially "No" [1] -- on legislation to ban the gruesome late-term procedure known as partial-birth abortion. 68% of Americans supported legislation to ban partial-birth abortions. [2] But not Barack Obama.
  
• Obama twice voted "Present" on legislation requiring parental-notification for abortions. [3] 71% of Americans support parental consent legislation. [4] But not Barack Obama.
  
• Obama voted "Present" -- meaning "No" -- three times on legislation requiring that babies who survived abortions receive immediate medical treatment. [5] Such legislation is so uncontroversial that even the pro-abortion group NARAL did not oppose it. [6] But Barack Obama did. Refusing medical treatment for babies born alive -- that's extreme!

As a United States Senator:

• Voted to increase taxpayer-funded spending on contraception by $100 million. [7]
  
• Voted to provide taxpayer funding to organizations that provide and promote abortions overseas. [8]
  
• Voted to filibuster the nomination of pro-life Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. [9]
  
• Voted to provide taxpayer funding of life-destroying embryonic stem cell research. [10]
  
• Voted against legislation that sought to prevent the transportation of minor girls by non-relatives across state lines for abortions. [11]
  
• Co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act, which would have declared abortion a "fundamental right" and repealed pro-life state laws, including parental notification, waiting periods and ultrasound laws. [12]

As President:

• Appointed NARAL's Legal Director Dawn Johnsen to be an Assistant Attorney General. [13]
  
• Appointed Ellen Moran, executive director of EMILY's List, to be White House Communications Director. [14]
  
• Appointed Melody Barnes, a former board member of EMILY's List and Planned Parenthood, to be Director of the White House Office of Domestic Policy. [15]
  
• Issued an executive order repealing the Mexico City Policy, thereby allowing taxpayer-funding of organizations that promote and provide abortions overseas. [16] Only 35% of Americans support spending tax dollars to provide abortions overseas. [17]
  
• Issued an executive order repealing conscience clause protections for doctors and nurses who do not want to be forced to perform abortions. [18] 77% of Americans oppose forcing medical professionals to participate in procedures or practices that violate their values. [19]
  
• Appointed pro-abortion judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. [20]
  
• Appointed pro-abortion Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. [21]
  
• Signed Obamacare, which includes funding for abortions. [22] 56% of likely voters want Obamacare repealed. [23]
  
• Is using Obamacare to force religious institutions to pay for procedures and services that violate their values. [24] Only 36% of Americans believe churches and religious institutions should be forced to pay for contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in violation of their core values. [25]
  
• Opposed legislation to ban abortions performed solely because of the baby's sex. [26] 77% of Americans support a ban on sex-selection abortions. [27]
  
• Vice President Joe Biden refused to "second guess," much less condemn, China's brutal one-child policy, through which the communist government has forced many women to have abortions against their will. [28]
