The Obama administration’s attempts to impose abortion abroad has been unethical. Its attempts to do so in Obama’s father’s homeland may also be illegal.

“We must start from the simple premise that Africa’s future is up to Africans.” With these words President Obama unfurled his Africa policy to dignitaries in Ghana in July 2009. Continuing, Obama declared that though all nations should aspire to democracy:

Each nation gives life to democracy in its own way, and in line with its own traditions.… America will not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation — the essential truth of democracy is that each nation determines its own destiny.

If Obama’s words seemed trite then, they seem ironic now. The Obama administration’s attempts to impose abortion abroad has been unethical. Its attempts to do so in Obama’s father’s homeland may also be illegal.

The Obama administration has made abortion promotion a centerpiece of its diplomatic agenda. Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in April 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced, “We are now an administration that will protect the rights of women, including their rights to reproductive health care.” She added that “reproductive health includes access to abortion that I believe should be safe, legal and rare.”

The “centerpiece” of the Obama foreign policy, she continued, would be the Global Health Initiative, which commits the U.S. to spending $63 billion over six years on, among other things, abortion and other reproductive services.
