Congressman
Henry E. Brown, Jr.

Congressman Brown, joined by over 100 other House Republicans have sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking that he withdraw his pledge to sign the so-called “Freedom of Choice” Act (FOCA), which would overturn hundreds of state laws nationwide protecting the sanctity of unborn human life.  During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-candidate Obama vowed that the “first thing” he would do as president is sign FOCA.   The letter (embedded below) notes that enactment of FOCA would increase abortions and divide the country.  The letter corresponds with the 36th Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling by the Supreme Court, a day marked every year by the March for Life on the National Mall.  Congressman Brown took part in the March, and you can view his comments afterword here. 01-21-09_FOCA_Letter
