When the killing of human beings becomes a pre-meditated methodical policy — put forward as a public good — massive slaughter results, and can be called a “holocaust.”
History puts a face on leaders who considered mass murder a political “good” — leaders like Adolph Hitler of Germany, Mehmet Talaat of Turkey, Pol Pot of Cambodia, Mao of China and Joseph Stalin of Russia.
But what about American leaders responsible for our own ongoing holocaust: abortion? History has yet to put a face to them, but those who value the sanctity of human life are obligated to ferret them out and hold them responsible.
This is the latest in an occasional California Catholic Daily series, “Faces of the American Holocaust,” in which we put faces to those behind the mass murder of innocents in the U.S.
Barack Obama
By C. Topeth
There is no one in the history of the United States who has exercised as much power as a champion of the slaughter of unborn human beings, than President Barack Obama.
Barack Obama’s record of pro-abortion actions, appointments, pledges, statements, and votes is presented in a chronological report here – 241 items listed with dates.
While other politicians such as California Congressman Henry Waxman have a history of laying the legislative foundation for the killing of unborn babies, no one in the United States has wielded more power than Obama in advancing the abortion agenda of Planned Parenthood.
While Obama was an Illinois state senator from 2000 to 2004, he opposed “born alive” state legislation to protect the lives of babies who were born alive during abortions.
Obama has become the public face for Planned Parenthood, the organization which has become the largest promoter and performer of abortions in the United States. During the 2012 Presidential election debates, Obama mentioned Planned Parenthood so often that it seemed he was doing infomercials.
Obama appointed Kathleen Sebelius, a Catholic, to be his secretary of Health and Human Services. Sebelius was a supporter of abortion as governor of Kansas where she allied herself with the late-term abortionist, George Tiller.
Obama and Sebelius launched the HHS Mandate which would require Catholic institutions and Catholic employers to provide coverage for contraceptives including abortion-inducing drugs to their employees.
Obama publicly stated his willingness to have his own grandchildren killed by abortion: “I’ve got two daughters, nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.” (Town Hall Meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, March 29, 2008).
While the presidential campaign for Republican candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, is emphasizing the need to improve the economy, President Obama is campaigning on Planned Parenthood’s claim that there is a “war on women.”
The real stakes in the 2102 election center on presidential appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court.
During his present term in office, President Obama has appointed and the U.S. Senate confirmed two pro-abortion women justices, Sonia Sotomayor (2009) and Elena Kagan (2010), to lifetime appointments on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Planned Parenthood, representing the abortion industry, is panicked that one of the pro-abortion justices such as the ailing 79-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a co-founder of the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Rights Union, might retire or die and allow for the appointment of a pro-life justice who might tip the majority in favor of overturning Roe v Wade.
On June 27, 2012, the New York Times ran a story that revealed the liberal/pro-abortion anxiety regarding the outcome of the presidential election. “This election could shape the court for decades to come,” said Nan Aron, president of the Alliance for Justice, a liberal advocacy group.”
P.S. As Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life has stated: “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” See the Priests for Life abortion photos.
I wonder if meeting murder victims face-to-face on the other side is one of the punishments awaiting those who support the killing of innocent preborn babies in the womb. I wonder if people like Barack Obama will be seen historically by future generations as we see Herod.
Thank you for the documentation in this article.
We should all email a link of this story to everyone we know asap, including all Priests and Nuns.
It always matters who we vote for – at Federal, State and Local levels.
Elected officials appoint Judges, Administrators and others who believe as they do.
The murder of innocents by ABORTION, EUTHANASIA, HOMO-SEXUAL MARRIAGE, and denying others FREEDOM of RELIGION is intrinsically evil.
We may NEVER vote for intrinsically evil politicians.
The next President may appoint 2 seats to the US Supreme Court, some US District Court Justices, and some US Appeals Court Justices.
We must remember that the SENATE must confirm the appointments.
Each of our Votes at EVERY level of government is critical – during this election, (and for the rest of our lives).
May God forgive those who voted for Obama in the past. He has always had a pro-abortion record.
When I vote I go to the on line California Planned Parenthood voter guide website to see who they back, and vote just the opposite.
I do agree with them on some of the propositions, though, such as the one against human trafficking. Occasionally they do get something right.
I’ve been pro-life for years and DO NOT TRUST these professional politicians. Obama is pro-abort and Romney was as well for many years. My TRUST and FAITH is in God – not our Presidents. The so-called pro-life presidents have done little or nothing to protect our precious little ones. I support Birthright now – none of my money goes to politicians any more!
What about the faces of those who for 40 years have been knowingly allowing openly abortionist politicians to receive and profanate the Holy Eucharist?
What about the faces of those who for 40 years have knowingly voted for and supported political parties and candidates devoted to the destruction of the unborn?
What about the USCCB’s “Faithful Citizenship”, which gave 52% of Catholics cover to vote for Barrack Hussein Obama?
As we know, the USCCB is not the Magisterium of the Church.
This is why the CCC from the Magisterium is so important.
Quote per Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict) in: ‘The Ratzinger Report’ –
Page 60 – “No episcopal conference, as such, has a teaching mission; its documents have no weight of their own save that of the consent given to them by the individual bishops.”
Page 59 – ” We must not forget that the episcopal conferences have no theological basis, they do not belong to the structure of the Church, as willed by Christ, that cannot be eliminated; they have only a practical, concrete function.”
Pages 59 & 60 – “It happens that with some Bishops there is a certain lack of a sense of individual responsibility, and the delegaqtion of his inaleinable powers as shepherd and teacher to the structures of the local conference leads to letting what should remain very personal lapse into anonymity.
The group of bishops united in the conference depends in their decisions upon other groups, upon commissions that have been established to prepare draft proposals.
It happens then that the search for agreement between the different tendencies and the effort at mediation often yeile flattend doucments in which DECISIVE positions (where they might be necessary) are weakened.”
We must get our Bishops into the habit of teaching directly from the CCC.
Forget the obvious compromises with Bishops who have their own political agendas.
Any politician who defends the right of a woman to kill her unborn child is going against the will of God who gives life and loves all life. Anyone who believes in God, whom all life and love comes from, and who we return to when we die will have to answer for the willful defiance of the Creator. The politician should especially be one to stand for the higher morals, values and the rights of our constitution. Obama goes beyond just supporting abortion he wants to make sure that abortion is available and free to all females regardless of age. He wants to ensure that all babies who survive abortion will die.
It will be interesting to see what percentage of the Catholic vote goes to Barack Obama this time. His rabid anti-life views are well known. Any Catholic who votes for him is very probably aware of those views as well as the position of the Church regarding abortion. The question is how many who claim to be Catholic will act as if they are actually Catholic. If Obama, with his views, gets a majority of the Catholic vote, much of the fault lies in the bishops and their milquetoast, weak-kneed “leadership”.
You mean the Catholic HERETICS, and Catholic SCHSIMATICS ?
Ted,
God has revealed the evils of this administration so much that knowone, especially those who call themselves Catholics and vote for the Obamanation will have any excuse when their judgement time comes!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,

Obama appointed Kathleen Sebelius, a Catholic, to be his secretary of Health and Human Services. Sebelius was a supporter of abortion as governor of Kansas where she allied herself with the late-term abortionist, George Tiller.
Will the Cino Catholics drag Potus Obama across the finish line for another four years to continue his abortion policies??????
Obama is an equal opportunity destroyer. No racism here. He is happy to kill black, brown, yellow, red and white babies, but especially black and brown since those colors are the specialty of his favorite baby-killing organization – Planned Parenthood.
The deliberate killing of innocent human beings IS ALWAYS murder. Abortion and birth control are destroying the family and society, and until these murderous practices are outlawed, God will not bless our nation. All the great cultures of the past were destroyed because of evil moral behavior. Our American Nero, also known as Obama, is partly responsible for the decline of the Judean-Christian ethic. With his rabid hatred for the unborn, and all things pertaining to God, Obama is a present day Hitler, Stalin, and Mao all wrapped into one incredible monster. We get the government we deserve, so hopefully we will deserve better this time around.
Father Karl,
It is for that reason that I am urging all who can to seek permission in their parishes for an All Night Vigil of Enteaty and Pennance from the eve of the elections, November 5 to the closing of the polls on November 6th.
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,

Is this the same barbaric Barack Obama who was invited to dine and laugh with NY Archbishop Timothy Dolan?
Yep.
And ‘Catholics for Obama’ are using a cropped picture of the Cardinal and OBAMA the baby-killer yukking it up, on their web site.
The Cardinal was told this would happen.
He didn’t care.
Chris – I checked out the ‘catholics for obama’ website and on the right hand column is a list of other websites that ‘cfo’ links to. Obviously ‘cfo’ would link only to websites that are in agreement with them and are ‘friendlies’. The website that made me chuckle was “CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT”, the USCCB bishop’s organization to funnel monies to community organizing groups, Saul Alinsky groups, and groups like ACORN (which pressured lending institutions into giving mortgage money to those who couldn’t/wouldn’t pay it back thus helping to create the current financial crisis).
EWTN condemned Fr.Groeschel for a few controversial words spoken in their own newspaper and edited by their own editor, and took him off the air and his books off the shelves, but they’re having Cardinal Dolan for a Christmas special after his highly controversial invitation to a pro-abort, pro-homosexual so-called marriage, pro-anti-religious freedom and persecution of the Catholic church president to a socially recognized Catholic dinner, and photos of him will be used, I”m sure, in the future like they were of some German bishops yucking it up with HItler to show how the Church supported fascism. I’m really, really disappointed in EWTN lately. You can sure tell dear Mother Angelica is no longer at the helm.
But I still dearly love EWTN. They do so much good and teach so many the true teachings of the Church. I wish I hadn’t said what I did. Can I recant? They need our support both financially and with our recommendation and sharing, which I heartily concur!
Genocide is always genocide—- because the ruling powers decide that someone is targeted as “unwanted”—as Untermensch or subhuman blobs of flesh.
What a monster that he would think to kill his own grandchildren through abortion.
I weep for all the departed souls, especially for the innocent. Pray and pray some more that the insanity ends in November and that the holocaust of the innocent, poor, elderly and disabled ends for all eternity. Shame on mankind, especially Americans who have been blessed so abundantly.
JOHN….Yes it is the same Obama who sat at the head table with the good Cardinal, did you notice other very well known celebrities sitting right there with them who are just as supportive of abortion as Obama, perhaps Cal Catholic can use its resources to find out who invites the intrincially evil supporters to this so called Catholic function. I watched George Weigel and Raymond Arroyo on EWTN do a very negative report on this dinner, they also pointed out the hard line abortionists sitting on the front rows, who invited them????
“Cardinal” Dolan INVITED THEM! The buck stops at the top!
May God have mercy on his soul!
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,

There is a long pro abort money trail connected to the The Al Smith Dinner. Financed by the Al Smith Foundation, it is controlled by big money, pro-abortion, Democrat board members.
These include Al Smith IV, the foundation’s chairman, Robert Wright (former NBC boss), developer John Zuccotti, and investment banker, Peter Kiernan III.
Federal Election Commission Records show that Al Smith IV has according to one an article in National Review Online heaped huge donation$$ on Schumer, Clinton, Kerry, Dodd and Kennedy. Smith has also contributed to the PAC run by Democratic Congrmn Nadler, described as an ‘ultra pro abort.’
It only makes sense that these pro-aborts would want Catholic New York to host Obama. But for Cdl Dolan to have approved this? No explanation will suffice.
The disgusting irony in the attitudes of egotistical, abortion-promoting monsters like Obama is they think that if THEY had been aborted, that truly would have been a loss to mankind, unlike the millions they condemn to death without even a twing of conscience.
President Obama has no religious and moral upbringing, background, or training!! He is illiterate in this area!! And a bunch of American morally and religiously illiterate renegades spawned from the Hippie 1960’s, supported and elected this man!! He is NOT a true, “all-American President!!” Our Founding Fathers would just DIE to see him!! Big mistake!!
interesting comments, but you or no one knows what Mitt Romney’s agenda is. He changes it every week. Have you been listening. I’ll Vote for Obama, at least he stands by what he believes in. Mitt Romney does not have any core beliefs. He only says what he thinks you want to hear. His only agenda is to become president.
