COLD COMFORT TO HIS VICTIMS, BUT....:

Obama reverses Bush abortion-funds policy (LIZ SIDOTI and MATTHEW LEE, 1/23/09, Associated Press)

A White House spokesman, Bill Burton, said Obama signed the executive order, without coverage by the media, late on Friday afternoon. The abortion measure is a highly emotional one for many people, and the quiet signing was in contrast to the televised coverage of Obama's Wednesday announcement on ethics rules and Thursday signing of orders on closing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and banning torture in the questioning of terror suspects.

His action came one day after the 36th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion.

...the obvious sense of shame in such a secretive announcement is revealing.
