Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) – Since pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama became the president, the number one warning from pro-life groups has concerned the radical Freedom of Choice Act.
To counter the outpouring of opposition and make it more palatable for members of Congress, it appears abortion advocates may try to split up the FOCA bill into pieces to make it easier to pass.

That’s the concern of Charmaine Yoest , the president of Americans United for Life.
Yoest writes that abortion advocates may even go as far as trying to convince the public they are not interested in passing the bill, which would make unlimited abortions the national law and overturn hundreds of pro-life laws in all 50 states.
“Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, and others are saying that they aren’t going to try to pass the ‘Freedom of Choice Act’ (FOCA),” Yoest says. “Don’t believe it for a second. If your opponent gives up the frontal attack . . . you better start watching your flank.”

“The president and pro-abortion leaders of Congress are looking at plans to pass FOCA, piece-by-piece, attached to other bills. This could be devastating for the babies because it would make it easier for their abortion agenda to get lost in a larger bill,” he tells LifeNews.com"This strategy not only allows pro-life people to think that they have succeeded by blocking FOCA. It also makes it easier to actually pass pro-abortion legislation, by inserting it into other bills which can run to hundreds of pages on unrelated items. The pro-life contingent will then be accused of obstructionism if it tries to block major legislation on other matters because it contains pro-abortion segments within it.

Is the money for STD research included in the stimulus bill? That could be the initial piece, wasn’t it inserted after the money for contraception was taken out per the outcry Pelosi caused when she opened her mouth about it on This Week?
