With one hand he holds the children for a photo-op, while with the other he gives his orders to kill a few million more babies.

You can't love children and abortion at the same time. It is impossible.

I believe love in that sense is alien to Barack Obama, as it often is to Marxists and statists of the more virulent sort; humans of any age seem to be useful commodities to progressives only within the narrow confines that they deem important.

Unlike the unborn, children of the age that Obama and his ilk prefer to use as props are very important to the progressive left, as they have “made the cut” (survived, if you will, and having done so became one of the fittest… or however Darwinians might phrase it). They managed to be conceived despite state-assisted birth control, they came to term despite the state-assisted abortion industry, they passed from their parent’s immediate control over to being a state possession, and they are now in the process of being catechized by state schools in order to become pegs for centrally planned holes. Only at that point do they become the progressive's perennial excuse for so many evils ("we are doing it for the children").

To paraphrase Orwell, "Some children are more equal than others."
