Obama confirmed the rumors -- Former Presidential rival, Senator Hillary Clinton will serve as his Secretary of State.  Hillary will oversee the distribution of foreign aid, a major source of concern for pro-lifers who have succesfully blocked the doling out of taxpayer dollars for abortion groups like Marie Stopes International.

Lifenews.com reports on the official SBA List reaction:

"President-elect Barack Obama spoke of finding 'common ground' on abortion policy, but so far his personnel picks preclude this policy," she said. "Women and children deserve authentic common ground that affirms the lives of both. It is hard to see how these aggressive abortion advocates, so out of the mainstream woman's view, would help forge such ground."

Clinton appointment and Ellen Moran, the executive director of the pro-abortion Emily's List, who Obama named as his White House communications director are "headstrong advocates of a no-exceptions, abortion on demand policy" Dannenfelser said.

"Personnel is policy, especially in Washington, D.C. And these abortion advocate picks speak louder than words," she added.

Clinton has a 100% pro-abortion voting record in the U.S. Senate and her failed Democratic presidential bid received strong support from Emily's List, NOW and other top pro-abortion advocates.

SBA List is concerned that Clinton will join Obama in promoting taxpayer funding of international abortions through a revocation of the Mexico City Policy and restoring funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

The UNFPA has been implicated in supporting China's coercive one-child family planning policy that involves forced abortions and sterilizations.

Dannenfelser says Obama has made conflicting promises of promoting and reducing abortions and can't uphold both.

"The trouble is, President-elect Obama has made two mutually exclusive promises," she explained to LifeNews.com. "He promised Planned Parenthood that passing the Freedom of Choice Act - legislation to strike down every single pro-life regulation and law in the nation - would be the first thing he'd do as president. He also promised to forge 'common ground' on the issue."

"However, it will be a non-starter to find common ground with a no-exceptions abortion policy that refuses to allow a single protection at any stage in pregnancy for unborn boys and girls. The personnel Obama has chosen clearly would back up his first promise, not the second," she added.
