The comment that President Obama is a "pagan" is not true. President Obama is a "christian" and has said so. It is preposterous to say that President Obama is not a "real" American as he is as American as any other American citizen born in America. I am proud of President Obama and believe that he will continue to support "We the People" during his term in office.

Having said that, which has nothing to do with FOF, I would say that FOF is an organization that has used it's power and enfluence in the christian community in very unwise manners. FOF has become a PAC (political action committee) spening most of it's income and time trying to influence elected representatives into passing legislation to force Americans to "live" as the organization says rather than advancing the teachings of christianity.

At more than 1.3 Million American abortions a year this is an important topic. Deaths from abortion is greater than all other deaths in America (reference Center for Desease Control and Prevention counts). Simply put more Americans die each year from Abortion than from Aids, Heart Disease, Cancer, Accidents, and all other causes of death.

At more than 45 Million American abortions in 36 years since 1973 this topic is an important topic of respect for every human life.

An unborn child is the least of our people. They are weak, poor, innocent, defenseless, and fragile. They are completely dependent upon our love and mercy. They are the least of our people in American.

These unborn children are being ignored. When was the last time the the news media, politician, or anyone told you the count for how many babies were aborted today in American. We talk about all the other news (health care, aids, cancer, economy, 911, murders, deaths in Iraq, and etc... You know all the news and stats for these events.This is not to reduce the importannce of that news but we should stop hiding the Truth about abortion.

In America we averages more than 3800 unborn American babies that die to abortion a day.

Did you know, In just one year there are more unborn American babies (more than 1.3 Million) that die than all the Americans that have died in all our wars (less than 1.2 million).

Did you know, In just 35 years that America has killed more unborn babies in American than Hitler killed in all his concentration camps.

All Human Life is equally important.

Please promote respect for every human life.

Please don't promote violence against the unborn defenseless children of America.

Please protect the least of God's people.

Abortion is war against Life and Love.

Please help encourage Human Life and Love.

Quote: What you do to the least of my people you do to me.

May the Love, Peace, Mercy, and Grace of God be with each of you.

May God Have Mercy on America!

America put a pagan in the White house, Obama is no friend to America, he is a world citizen and not a real American!!!

Focus on the Family became IRRELEVANT in the field of politics when Dobson decided to back McCain, after pledging in front of God and millions of people that he would never back anyone again that was not 100 per cent pro life. He further sealed the fate of Focus in this arena when he said we had lost the culture war. We need believers with real backbone that will NOT continue to compromise in order to garner favor with politicians. Falwell and Dobson, et al, sold their souls to the neocons long ago.

The pre-born's right to life does not come from Barrack O'Bama OR James Daily. It comes from God. How dare Focus on the Family suggest, otherwise.

Barack and Michelle get elected and the "Focus" folks (after opposing them, of course, in the campaign) suddenly start speaking sense? Folks, THAT is change you can believe in.

That is a very positive--if jaw-dropping, indeed--report. It's good to hear that all sides may soon be able to make positive progress on important issues like abortion.
