President
Barack Obama promised Pope Benedict on Friday that he would do everything possible to reduce the number of abortions in the United States, the Vatican said.
Obama and Benedict held private talks for about 40 minutes in the pope's frescoed study in the Vatican's apostolic palace and the Vatican said bioethics and life issues were a central part of the discussion. ( Obama tells Benedict he wants to reduce abortions in U.S )
In a surprise move, the pontiff gave Obama a booklet explaining Vatican opposition to practices such as abortion and embryonic stem cell research, which Obama supports.
( I was glad to read Obama told the Pope he wants to reduce the number of abortions here in America. Those of us who are pro life would be happy to help him see that by action. However there is a verse in the Bible which says by their fruit you will know them. So far President Obama hasn't shown much pro life fruit. Is what Obama told the Pope just talk or is that what he wants to do in his heart, only time will tell. Lets watch and see if Obama gives us any pro life fruit.)
