WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Mr. Obama recently cut 19 million dollars from a program sponsored by the Catholic Church that helped and assisted the victims of sex trafficking.
The reason the Administration gave for removing the funds and
ending the program; they did not provide abortion referrals.
Faith organizations to hold "Prophetic Witness for Life, Human Rights and
Justice" in front of the White House, on Monday, January 23 at 9:30 A.M., to
challenge President Obama on his radical abortion position.
The prayer vigil and public witness will be on the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW side of the White House.
Some members will peacefully risk arrest to stand in solitary
with the innocent victims of abortion and those who have been hurt and
brutalized through sex trafficking.
The pro-life group "Survivors" will also hold a "die-in" to remind President
Obama of the 55,000,000 children who have died from abortion.
They will be calling on the President to protect innocent children from the
violence of abortion and those who have been trapped in the horror of the sex
trafficking industry.
This event is a kick-off to a national campaign called: "Barack Obama. The
Abortion President."
This national campaign will expose the President's utter disregard for human
rights and justice through his support and radical embracing of abortion.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Coalition, based in
Washington, D.C., states,
-
"Recently, President Obama cut 19 million dollars and ended a
program sponsored by the Catholic Church that helped the victims of the sex
trafficking industry.
"The reason he gave for doing this. The program did not
provide abortion counseling or referrals.
"So, the President of the United States has put protecting abortion 'rights'
above protecting the victims of sex trafficking. This is a national
disgrace and reveals the radical and pro-abortion views of Mr. Obama and his
Administration.
"It also shows the President's complete disregard for ensuring human rights and justice for all.
"This event on January 23, is a kick-off to a national campaign called, 'Barack Obama. The Abortion President.' During this election year, we intend to show America how the President has embraced an extremist abortion position that is out of step with mainstream voters."
