Core Values and Principles? Not Mine

In his first week in office, President Barack Obama signed an executive order effectively banning all torture of enemy combatants taken as prisoners. The order clamps down on any and all harsh interrogation techniques. At the signing, the President said, "Government must adhere to core values and principles."

Two days later, the President signed another executive order. This one lifted the ban on federal funding for international non-governmental agencies that offer abortion services.

I'm wondering about those core values and principles.

Now comes word that the President's $800 billion + economic stimulus proposal includes millions to provide contraceptives. When asked about this rather odd expediture in an economic stimulus bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi replied, "Well, contraception will help the economy." She went on to say that states are struggling with the costs of children's health care, education and other expenses. So by distributing contraceptives, therby reducing the number of births, the cost to government is reduced. (In other words, our government now sees children as a burden to the state rather than a blessing.)
Anybody want to hazard a guess as to which ethnic or socio-economic groups they plan to distribute these contraceptives to?

Core values and principles?
