It is interesting that the Obama White House, a place where everyone thinks a pre-born baby is just a lump of “unviable cells” and not really a person, is now insisting that pregnant mothers must register themselves and their unborn baby on the visitor log when they visit the White House.
As noted by Steven Ertelt,
The Director of the White House Visitor’s Office, Ellie Shafer, today distributed an email newsletter to members of Congress and others providing detailed instructions on how to register an unborn child (“a baby that has not yet been born,” as Shafer puts it) into the security system the White House uses to arrange group tours.
“We have received a number of calls regarding how to enter security information for a baby that has not yet been born,” Shafer wrote. “Crazy as it may sound, you MUST include the baby in the overall count of guests in the tour. It’s an easy process.”
My guess is these abortion-supporters don’t even get the irony of a White House that on one hand wants to devalue a fetus as not worth anything, a “lump of unlivable cells” that could be destroyed at will, yet want expecting mothers to register their unborn babies as a separate “person” when they visit the People’s House.
Ertelt report that National Right to Life’s Legislative Director, Douglas Johnson, is also rueful over this news saying, “It is ironic that President Obama’s staff recognizes the existence of unborn babies for purposes of providing security within the White House — yet, there is no indication that President Obama has any problem with the fact that throughout the District of Columbia, abortion is now legal for any reason up to the moment of birth.”
In fact, it is worse than what Johnson said. The fact is Obama was the only vote for “abortion” on born alive babies when he was an Illinois Senator.
No doubt as soon as Obama gets his hands on the registration for an unborn visitor to his White House that baby will be mysteriously registered as a Democrat voter, as well.

A simple box to check off on the form that asks, “Is any member of this party pregnant and likely to bring a ‘new member’ of society on this tour?” would be just as effective as filling out “security information for a baby that has not yet been born,”.
I don’t think that babies will constitute a security risk and might be passed through on the tour without thinking twice. That is, as long as the baby is not packing heat.
