President Obama's administration offering incentives to Kenya, his father's birth place, to approve controversial new constitution that would legalize abortion.
The Obama administration, specifically the White House, is offering incentives to Kenya to approve a controversial new constitution that would allow the legalization of abortion, promising that its passage would "allow money to flow" into the nation, including aid from the USA, according to Fox News. Why is the U.S. meddling in the affairs of others, especially with the legalization of abortion, that would not be widely accepted here in the U.S. and would be contested in a barrage of court cases? According to Fox News, there is a snag to that pledge. The Siljander Amendment, which was passed in 2006, makes it illegal for the U.S. government to lobby on abortion in other countries. With that said, three U.S. lawmakers have said they want a federal investigation into the promises made by the administration.Kenya has long been ripe for a new constitution, one that will balance power in the country and prevent the kind of violent rioting that followed Kenya's 2007 presidential election. The Obama administration has vocally expressed enthusiasm for the new constitution, which it says will provide for easier transition of power through more balanced branches of government. But according to anti-abortion groups in and outside of Kenya, the constitution will cause harm to the nation by overturning its ban on abortion. SourceIf the Obama administration is dabbling in the laws of another country, then that's just plain wrong, especially since the legalization of abortion in this country would spark widespread outrage. No other country could dabble in our affairs to that degree. Well, except China, perhaps, since we owe them billions. My opinion of President Obama just went a little lower, if this is true.
