Reactions against President Obama’s pick of Kathleen Sebelius to serve as the Secretary of Health and Human Services are coming in from pro-life organizations around the country. Many are noting that despite his promises to seek "common ground" on the life issue, Obama is turning a blind eye to the concerns of the pro-life community.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, reacted to the news by calling Sebelius’ nomination "further evidence of something gone terribly wrong for those seeking consensus on the abortion issue, especially the President.
"He speaks of finding 'common ground' on abortion, but then he makes a series of decisions that comprise the biggest overreach since the 1973 Supreme Court wiped every legal protection for unborn children off the books in the Roe v. Wade decision and the Doe v. Bolton companion decision."
