World Congress of Families Managing Director Larry
Jacobs said he was dismayed but not surprised by the decision of the Obama [group] to sign a United Nations (UN) statement
concerning -- but not limited to -- the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality.
Jacobs observed: "When
the French-sponsored statement was introduced at the United Nations last December, the Vatican's permanent observer noted
that its emphasis on 'non-discrimination ... regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity' could be used
to pressure member-states to recognize gay marriage and other special rights."
Will this special rights measure
be used to push for homosexuals serving openly in the U.S. military?" Jacobs inquired. "Will it be interpreted as
a mandate for gay adoption?"
[Many think the decision to endorse the statement was part of Barack Obama's overall
agenda. Under [Barack] Obama, the U.S. has done a 180-degree turn on the people's desires, endorsing anti-family
measures that American people oppose.]
This includes repeal of the Mexico City Policy on Abortion, repeal of federal
restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research, a full-court press for the so-called Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and the recent
announcement that the White House will push for repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
"Signing
the U.N. homosexual rights statement is very much in keeping with [Obama's] anti-family and anti-faith actions so
far," Jacobs commented.
