Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama has compiled a clear pro-abortion record during his short tenure as president that has raised the ire of the majority of Americans who are pro-life. However, one group that lobbies at the United Nations says Obama is pushing abortion hard in a much less obvious way.

The machinations of the presidency and Congress receive significantly more media attention and Obama’s promotion of abortion has been evident for the public to see.

But Austin Ruse, the president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, a pro-life organization that lobbies at the United Nations, says Obama is pushing abortions in ways that receive less attention but could have more far-reaching effects.

“Obama’s negotiators at the UN have already made aggressive pro-abortion and anti-family statements,” Ruse tells LifeNews.com. “Obama’s administration is gearing up to make a frightening new global attack on the unborn child.”

Ruse and other pro-life groups were at the United Nations just two weeks ago when “the Obama administration made its UN debut by supporting language that has been used by UN agencies, UN committees, radical lawyers, and judges to impose abortion on reluctant countries.”

He said he “watched in horror as the previous pro-life positions of the United States were overturned in an instant by radical feminists representing the new Obama administration.”

“The US will now join the UN bureaucracy, Canada and the European Union as the most aggressive promoters of abortion all over the world,” Ruse explained. “This new pro-abortion coalition will actively seek to impose abortion on all the countries of Latin America, Africa, the Far East and even on the few remaining pro-life countries in Europe.”

Ruse said the only objections standing in the way of the Obama administration joining other pro-abortion nations to impose an international right to abortion on the rest of the world are a collection of countries with pro-life cultures but who are less powerful than the Obama-led UN team and pro-abortion lobbyists from other first-world nations.

Aided by groups like CFAM and the National Right to Life Committee, these pro-life nations are going to be called on more frequently to stand up to the Obama administration’s abortion trickery.

The underhandedness comes in the form of small but noticeable changes to United Nations documents, such as including seemingly innocuous terms like “reproductive rights” and “reproductive health” in treaties and directives and changing the meanings of the terms later from maternal health and medicine to abortion rights.

Closer to home, Ruse said Obama has buttressed his administration’s abortion push at the United Nations with executive orders requiring taxpayers to go along for the ride.

“Barack Hussein Obama is the most pro-abortion president in US history,” Ruse says.

The CFAM president points out that, in only a few months, Obama has overturned the Mexico City Policy and forced taxpayers to fund foreign groups that promote or perform abortions in other nations.

He has restored funding to the UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund that advocates abortion and has been caught working hand-in-hand with the population control officials in China who have imposed forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations on women and men who violate the one-child rule.

Ruse says pro-life advocates need to support groups like his that are building “a global village of pro-life and pro-family activists who can be called upon at any time to put pressure on the UN or on governments who want to impose abortion on unwilling people.”

Just last fall, CFAM gathered the names of 500,000 individuals from around the world to endorse its UN Petition for the Unborn Child and the Family. These 500,000 names were presented to select governments and to a UN press conference that was broadcast all over the UN building in New York City.
