Beware of "FOCA-By-Stealth:" Radical Abortion-on-Demand Agenda Being Implemented Piecemeal
Abortion advocates are counting on the economy and other pressing issues to divert the attention of the American people so they can surreptitiously and with little resistance advance their radical pro-abortion agenda. Click to Continue Reading . . .

FOCA: A Proven Tool to Increase Abortion Rates
When we look closely that the experience of a small handful of states that have enacted state versions of FOCA – laws providing for and promoting unrestricted and under-regulated abortion on demand – we see that state FOCA’s have actually resulted in higher abortion rates in those states despite years of steady decline in the national abortion rate.

History of FOCA
Sen. Bob Packwood (R-OR) joined with Sen. Alan Cranston (D-CA) to introduce the Senate-version of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) in 1989. Since then, FOCA has been repeatedly reintroduced. Click to Continue Reading . . .

Pro-Abortion Groups Readily Admit FOCA’s Draconian Impact
NARAL, Planned Parenthood, the National Organization of Women (NOW), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) all maintain that FOCA will guarantee a woman’s fundamental right to abortion. Click to Continue Reading . . .

The Freedom of Choice Act: A Radical Attempt to Prematurely End Debate Over Abortion
FOCA will not make abortion safe or rare. On the contrary, it will actively promote abortion and do nothing to ensure its safety. Abortion advocates’ unrelenting campaign to enact FOCA is a "wake-up call" to all Americans. Click to Continue Reading . . .

FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide

This would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:

Bans on Partial Birth Abortion
Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion
Only licensed physicians can perform abortions
Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion

FOCA would erase these laws and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.

President Obama made a promise to Planned Parenthood they expect him to keep.

The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing I’d do.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide.

FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.

Barack Obama believes this legislation will "end the culture wars." To him, "ending the culture wars" means eradicating every state and federal law on abortion — laws that the majority of Americans support.

Americans United for Life (AUL), a pro-life law and policy organization, has prepared an analysis of the "Freedom of Choice Act." Please click here to read AUL Vice President & Legal Director Denise Burke’s analysis of this horrendous legislation.

The time to Fight FOCA is now. With Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of Congress, we can expect a fight over FOCA to begin soon.

Please add your name to the Fight FOCA petition and let your friends know about President Obama’s promise to expand abortion throughout the country.

Beware also of FOCA-By-Stealth. Abortion advocates are counting on the economy and other pressing issues to divert the attention of the American people so they can surreptitiously and with little resistance advance their radical pro-abortion agenda. Read more about FOCA-By-Stealth at AUL.org.

Fight FOCA Petition

I oppose the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), because:

FOCA is a radical attempt to enshrine abortion-on-demand into American law;
FOCA seeks to sweep aside existing, protective laws that I and the majority of Americans support;
FOCA will prevent states from enacting protective measures in the future.

The FightFOCA petition will be sent to key Members of Congress upon the re-introduction of the Freedom of Choice Act in the 111th Congress, and to President Obama.

You’ll also hear of opportunities to band together with other concerned citizens just like you to spread the word to the millions of Americans who have yet to get involved.
