In a recent letter to pro-life constituents, Congressman Boucher left the impression that the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is a myth.

Here are a few facts about FOCA and Mr. Boucher:

Fact – The National Organization For Women (NOW) promotes FOCA on their website.

Fact – Jerold Nadler has been the prime sponsor of FOCA. On March 6, 2009, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that “A spokesman for Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. said, …We expect to reintroduce it [FOCA] sooner rather than later.”

Fact – The Library of Congress website shows that in the last Congress, Mr. Boucher co-sponsored FOCA on April 19, 2007.

Fact – FOCA, as written for the 110th Congress, has Mr. Boucher’s name on the front of the Bill.

Fact – July 17, 2007 Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund said, “The first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.”

Fact – Mr. Boucher has a pro-FOCA record that goes back to May 1993 and pro-choice voting record that goes back to 1988.

Fact – The proponents of FOCA such as NOW disagree with Mr. Boucher and his pro-choice supporters about the effects of FOCA.

Fact – If pro-life supporters wait for the legislation to be introduced to voice their opposition, it will be too late.

His recent letter to pro-life constituents, in which he leaves the impression that the FOCA is a myth, is not honest.

If Mr. Boucher and his supporters want to debate the facts, we’re ready. But why does Mr. Boucher want to run from the facts? If he regrets cosponsoring the Freedom of Choice Act in 2007 and his 20 year pro-choice (Pro-abortion) voting record, he should say so. He shouldn’t be deceptive.

Mr. Boucher owes his constituents an apology and he owes his constituents an honest dialogue.

Thank you for your input. I just read a note forwarded to me about Boucher’s recent “townhall meeting”. The note was entitled “From Cong. Rick Boucher’s World of the Absurd”. Apparently Boucher had a tough day in that people actually questioned him with FACTS and TRUTH. Boucher started the meeting, as usual, by ticking off all the pork he was bringing to the district. The first question he faced was, “How are we going to pay for all this stuff your’e buying Congressman?”. He then got angry questions about TARP and all the bail-outs which Boucher voted for.
When asked about his support for the so-called sweeping PRO-ABORTION “Freedom of Choice Act”, Boucher apparently denied that there was any such thing as a Freedom of Choice Act and he definitely was against it. That Bill would be the most sweeping PRO-abortion action of of our lifetime and, among other things, would wipe out any and all abortion restrictions currently in existence. In follow-up questions, about particular details of FOCA, Boucher again said that he was against each detail of the proposed Bill that he was asked about. (A question comes to mind …. If he denied the proposed Bill’s existence, then how could he be against something he said didn’t exist?)
THEN, it was revealed that some people in the audience had copies of the FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT which has Boucher’s name on it …. as a CO-SPONSOR!
The beat goes on. It is encouraging to see that folks in the 9th District are now confronting Mr. Boucher with TRUTH and FACTS.
Again, thank you for your input.
By further explanation, it is a fact that Boucher co-sponsored the Freedom Of Choice Act (HR1964) on April 19, 2007. Because it did not come up for a vote, then it is “erased” and would then need to be re-introduced in this current session of congress. Boucher responded in his usual intellectually dishonest and misleading way on March 10, 2009 by saying that there is “no such bill”. He further states that “No legislation entitled Freedom of Choice has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. There is no legislation pending before the House by that name, nor has any action been taken by any House committee or by full House of Representatives on such a measure”. He goes on to say, “Any information you may have received to the contrary is inaccurate”. He is, I guess, technically correct. However, he fails to be truthfully forthcoming. Keep in mind that his letter is dated MARCH 10.
FOUR DAYS EARLIER, on MARCH SIXTH, a spokesman for Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who is Chairman of a House Judiciary subcommittee that could consider the bill, said the bill is forthcoming. llan Kayatsky told the St. Louis Dispatch that FOCA “is among the congressman’s [Nadler] priorities. We expect to reintroduce it sooner rather than later.” “We expect it to be the same bill with some minor tweaks.” He indicated that he expects pro-abortion Barbara Boxer to introduce a companion bill shortly.
Anyway, pro-abortion Boucher (100% approval rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood and a “0″ rating from National Right to Life) plays down the coming introduction of the FOCA bill.
Boucher appears to be like a bubble on a skillet when it comes to pinning him down on the full truth. (Keep in mind that Boucher said that Barack Obama is a “friend of gun owners” while the National Rifle Association said that Obama would be “the most anti-gun president in American history”.
It is a shame that many of Boucher’s constituents have learned to resort to alternative sources just in order to get forthcoming and fully truthful information from the man – our elected representative.

Will be updating as Mr. Boucher casts his votes. We continue to monitor his activities. So far, it appears that he is still tied to the hip of Obama. One ongoing development that many people are watching closely is his co-sponsor of the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act”. That is a bill to make abortion available on demand and paid for by taxpayer money both here and in foreign countries. That would be the most sweeping PRO-abortion measure since Roe vs. Wade. Many folks are indicating their frustration with Boucher’s “tone deaf” attitude to the wishes of the majority of people in his District. We will be sure to update as events occur.

Thank you for your input. Mr. Boucher was a co-sponsor of the pending “Freedom of Choice Act” which would erase all restrictions on abortion (and partial-birth abortion) and mandate that taxpayers pay all costs here as well as in foreign countries. The bill (HR1964), introduced 2/19/07, did not come up for vote possibly due to Bush’s probable veto. The bill would have to be re-introduced in the current session of congress which apparently is on its way by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) and Sen. Barbara Boxer.

Thank you for your input. I respect your opinion and right to express how you feel. You may be right in that the affect may be minimal; however, one has the right to try. Oh, wait. Didn’t this web site have an affect on …… YOU?
It is sad that you feel such self-annointed condescending ridicule of only “the lowest common denominator of public intelligencia” is “influenced”. It is, in part, that very arrogant attitude which partly motivated the creation of this website. Average Americans are tired of being slapped down for getting involved and standing up to speak. I do respectfully agree with your comment, however, that you “cannot judge wisely”. Perhaps you could take a lesson in humility from the lowest common denominator of public intelligencia.
Let’s see. You say you lack the knowledge and background to form a wise opinion on how Mr. Boucher votes; yet, … you agree with most of his votes. Wow. You just explained precisely how Mr. Boucher gets elected! Please continue to reference this web site for informed knowledge. It may help to remedy your confusion. (We also noticed that you are the person who e-mailed this web site earlier seeking help as to how add your comments to the blog. I am glad to see that we could help you in that area also). Now, where were we … Oh wait, almost forgot. You were addressing …. intelligencia …..
Since Boucher votes in virtual lock step with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank (96.7% of the time), I assume you are also passionately pro abortion on demand, pro partial-birth abortion, against parental consent of abortions for minors, and agree that taxpayers should pay for abortions here as well as in foreign countries. Since Boucher has a 100% approval rating from the ACLU, then it is safe to assume that you also agree with that organizaton.
By the way, as far as having “minimal affect”, we are now getting between 5 and 20 hits per day on this NEW website … from folks in the 9th District. And the number is growing steadily. Thank you.

The listing of Boucher’s votes on myriad issues ends with the words, “YOU BE THE JUDGE.”

I cannot judge wisely concerning Boucher’s stance on the enumerated votes since there is no information as to his reasons for making his decisions. However, even without knowing the logic, study, and dedication put forth before each of his commitments, I will say that I agree with his decisions in the majority of the referenced votes. This kind of “exposure” has no place in a public display of partisan politicking, although it will undoubtedly influence the lowest common denominator of the public intelligencia.

However, judging by the lack of comments herein, the affect is minimal.

This material is a valuable resource. When honest people evaluate the evidence it is clear, Congressman Boucher is pro-abortion.
