House Resolution Opposes Obama Move

A resolution opposing a move by President Barack Obama to classify abortion as a fundamental right in the same category as the right of free speech and the right to vote passed a House committee today.

Obama has stated support for the federal “Freedom of Choice Act,” which if passed would invalidate all state laws that interfere with abortion.

House Joint Resolution 1009 urges the U.S. Congress to oppose the law, citing the states’ right to regulate abortion in an effort to protect women’s health.
