The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) Will Be Devastating
If you haven't heard of FOCA before, you will in 2009. The Freedom of Choice Act is one of the first pieces of legislation that the new administration will try to push through. It has the potential to destroy every pro-life achievement made since Roe v Wade in 1973.
President-elect Obama has said that one of his first actions in office will be to eliminate all the pro-life executive orders of the Bush administration and push through FOCA, which would further institutionalize the right of a woman to kill her unborn baby at anytime and for any reason.
"'The Freedom of Choice Act would eliminate every single abortion
restriction that's been passed at the state level in the past 30
years,' says Yoest. 'It would completely federalize the abortion
issue...it's just an extremist piece of legislation.'
Yoest says her organization is depending on a grassroots effort to head off passage. 'We have a website [FightFOCA.org]
and it's a one-stop shop where people can read the text of the bill,
they can get constitutional analysis from our attorneys, and most
importantly they can go and sign our petition against FOCA.'"
