“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” – Martin Luther King
BU joined many media sources during the last months to write extensively on Obama’s journey to the White House. We will therefore not rehash views. We again extend our heartiest congratulations to the first African American President who will take the oath of office later to day. May his coming help the world to chart a new path.

President-elect Barack Obama has stated publicly that the one of the first things he will do when he gets into office is to the sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).
For those who do not know, the Freedom of Choice Act currently before the Congress, which Barack Obama sponsored as a Senator, will roll back all the restriction on abortion that the majority of Americans want and have voted in during the past 36 years. FOCA will invalidate for the entire country all restrictions on abortion including parental notifications, waiting periods, and partial birth abortions, yes — the brutal killing of 9-month old fetuses while they are in the birth canal, ready to be born.
FOCA also will attempt to force Catholic hospitals to adopt these evil measures.
Thank God, Cardinal George of Chicago, the president of the National Council of Bishops, has told President-elect Obama and his team that, if FOCA is signed into law, the Catholic Church will close their Catholic hospitals rather than participate in evil. By the way, Catholic hospitals make up one third of all hospitals in the nation.
Do you know what President–elect Obama’s team said to Cardinal George? “That’s OK! We’ll just buy your hospitals.” To which Cardinal George replied, “You didn’t hear me! I said that we will close our hospitals. You will have to build your own!” Good for him and all the Cardinals and Bishops standing with him!
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do and say nothing.”
