President to Reverse Mexico City Policy Wednesday

I cannot shake the sadness of knowing the thousands, if not more, of children who will die as victims of abortion because of this new administration.

WASHINGTON,D.C.(Inside Catholic) - On his first day in office, President Obama will reverse the Mexico City Policy, thus allowing federal funds to be spent on abortions overseas.

I have e-mailed some pro-life leaders trying to determine how many pre-born children will die as a result of Obama's first act as president.

As I watch the inauguration this morning, I cannot shake the sadness of knowing the thousands, if not more, of children who will die as victims of abortion because of this new administration.

If viewed from the perspective of race relations, it is an historic day, no doubt. Yet the abortion question impinges even on that issue, since African-American children are victims, disproportionately, of the abortion industry. The Obama presidency will increase the number of abortions among African-Americans, along with every other group.

So even as I try to think along the lines of what has brought so many millions into the city across the Potomac River from where I sit, I feel only more sadness.
