Fact is, I spent the afternoon searching for this and couldn't corroborate it in any official area nor any reasonable news site. My verdict is that this is a hoax for that reason and it just doesn't pass the smell test. Nobody asks women if they are pregnant for tours.
Sadly it has gotten to the point that just because one cannot find anything about a obama story or a story about this administration does not mean it is not happening.
The news is no longer doing their job of being unbiased and reporting ALL news
I see everyone has chosen to address the abortion part of the issue but what is the logical reason for registering an unborn baby for a tour? For all we know this has been done for years so it may not be Obama specific.
I went on a tour of the White House when I was in High School and it was the most boring tour in DC unless you are really interested in dishes and furniture. Of course, that was a bazillion years ago. They could have jazzed it up since then.
There isn't one, which is probably why few people have addressed it.
But, who knows, maybe they're building a database of future attendees for the Easter Egg Roll.
You have to submit the application weeks in advance of your visit. My guess is this was a response to someone who was pregnant and was planning a visit which would take place after the baby was born.
Easy button.
Not that anyone here knows how to use it when there are perfectly good anti-Obama/conspiracy theories to believe in.

I did a search as well, and all I could find was pro-life websites that carried this. Now the RWs will say the MSM isn't carrying the story, but I smell something fishy with this story.
Right-wingers get foooled by lying alarmists - again.
Seriously. Doesn't anyone stop to think before hitting the Outrage Button?

You really should have read the entire email depicted before hitting the keyboard, because the last paragraph is crucial:

Once, (sic) the baby is born, you should email to the VO inbox... We can then update the newborn guest's information in the system.
Get it now? This is for people who are expecting, who are planning a visit to the WH with their newborn and who obviously can't provide DOB, sex or name at the time they're scheduling their visit.
So - no, you don't have to register your "Unborn Baby" if you want to tour the WH while pregnant. But if you expect to give birth before your tour, then yes, there needs to be a placeholder record in the system.

Sadly it has gotten to the point that just because no one can prove anything about an Obama story, or a story about this administration, does not mean it shouldn't be believed.

People who are "expecting" do not have a "newborn".
