Abortion

During the Presidential campaign season we heard lots of talk about change. Barack Obama told us he would deliver change and, as President, that is exactly what he is doing. Few would doubt that he’s keeping that promise.

In no particular order, let’s look at some of the changes we’ve seen so far in these first 100 days.

  • Allowed travel and financial transactions to communist Cuba (learn more).
  • Ended harsh interrogation methods for terrorist detainees (learn more).
  • Releases secret Bush Administration documents about methods for handling terrorist prisoners (learn more).
  • Called for nuclear disarmament and an end to nuclear testing (learn more).
  • No longer calls the war against radical Islamic terrorists a “war on terror” (learn more).
  • Allows federal tax dollars to fund embryonic stem cell research (learn more).
  • Reverses the Mexico City policy and lifts the ban on federal funding of foreign abortions (learn more).
