Obama Heckled During Speech at Notre Dame...

Obama said "fair-minded words" were missing from the abortion debate and that while he "didn't change my position" on abortion after hearing from the physician, he rededicated himself to finding "common ground" on abortion.

"So let’s work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions," Obama said, saying he wants to promote adoption, help for pregnant women and reducing unintended pregnancies.

But Benjamin Clapper, the director of Louisiana Right to Life, told LifeNews.com after the speech that Obama has not been dedicating to finding common ground or using "fair-minded words" since becoming president.

He said, "President Obama is saying one thing and doing another. By requiring the taxpayer funding of abortion overseas and embryonic stem cell research, President Obama's actions are anything but 'fair-minded'."

"In addition, it is expected that President Obama will include taxpayer funded abortions in his upcoming health care reform legislation. By forcing every American to fund abortion in health care, President Obama undermines any attempt to find common ground on the issue of abortion," Clapper added.

Clapper also pointed out that President Obama's new federal budget calls for forcing Americans to pay for abortions using taxpayer dollars.

"We implore President Obama to find some common ground by not expanding abortion through our tax dollars," he said. more here with video:
