A blog about my own opinions and things I have been learning about politics and American values. Its time to stop being led like sheep to the slaughter and to stand up and fight for what you believe in. Stop putting trust in politicians and start putting faith in God. The founders of our nation wanted equal opportunity, not equal stuff for the citizens.

Executive Order on Abortion explains in itself why it is useless

Interesting how an Executive Order has language in itself explaining why it is useless. You can read the entire Executive Order issued by the President on abortion laws over at whitehouse.gov but here is the section I am referring to.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) authority granted by law or Presidential directive to an agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) functions of the Director of the OMB relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees or agents, or any other person.
So basically it just says, "hey I the President solemnly declare that we're gonna keep abiding the same abortion rules implemented in the Hyde Amendment, at least until I or my party can figure out another way to force it down Americans' throats since the healthcare method didn't work." Congratulations Stupak, you essentially voted for the status quo on abortion.
