President Barack Obama expressed hope that his administration would be the one that brings an end the rancorous contention over the abortion issue. “If these so-called pro-life advocates could put aside their anger and meet me halfway on a compromise solution he can end this long running battle,” he said.
The President suggested that a possible framework for a compromise would entail permitting abortions, but increasing government spending on methods to reduce pregnancies. “If we make condoms free for the asking, I think we can significantly reduce the number of abortions,” Obama observed. “If we can prevent conception at the outset, we won’t have to deal with the problem of having to eliminate fetuses later.”
In related news, the President contended that the characterization of him as “pro-abortion” by many on the political right is inaccurate. “Anti-pro-life would be a more apt description of my views on this controversial matter,” he argued.

There is no compromise when it comes to the murder of the unborn.
Wasn’t this above his pay grade?
I wonder if he would have thought there was some compromise position on slavery?
“If these so-called pro-life advocates could put aside their anger...”

Sounds like the Ivy League community organizer is the angry one:
“so-called” pro-life advocates?
I guess he’d be comfortable with pro-lifeless protoplasm advocates?
No compromising with Baby Killers.
How about if we just take away all of your government spending?
Good job.
Bring me a sword. We shall cut the president in half, give one half to the pro-lifers and one half to the pro-choicers.
Liberal don’t compromise. They get smacked with a fish.
Notre Dame Commencement turning into a Firefight El Presedente ?
What ya gonna do.....Fund Abortion in only half the world since some countries fund their own Abortion clinics ?
talking in circles dosn’t work all the time.....looks like a BIG greeting committe awaits your commencement Speech....... COME ON DOWN !
Correct!
Pro-abortionist: I want to kill 1,000,000 babies/yr. in the US.
Pro-Life: I do not want to kill any babies in the US!
Where's the compromise?!?!?!?!
Like I believe that. There is really no end to what Obama will say. He is the “say anything” President. He is going to get a radical leftist just like himself. He wouldn’t be Obama if he didn’t pretend he really wanted to do something else. I dated guys like this in my youth, say anything to make themselves look good. Slime.
FUBO
To Post 4. By the sounds of his logic, I would say that is evidence enough that the answer to your question is “yes”, it is above his pay grade. He fundamentally does not “get” the issue. There isn’t enough pay to create sound logic out of ignorance.
This is a great idea by the President. Compromise on this issue is long overdue. In fact, his vision shouldn't be so limited— we should have a compromise on all forms of homicide. Say for example, assassination. Why limit compromises just to the deliberate killing of one's offspring during early stages of embryonic or fetal development? Why not demonstrate the same sort of moral flexibility, and compromise on the killing of full grown heads of state as well? We need to understand that killing, say a president, is a hard moral choice, and that nobody really wants to be in the position of having to make that decision. Nobody is reeeally pro-assasination. But if my fellow Americans make a mistake, we don't want them “to be punished with a baby politician!”
Homicide is an issue that need not divide Americans anymore. As long as we take the steps to insure that presidential assassinations are rare, everyone should be perfectly happy. And since 50,000,000,000 dead babies murdered since Roe vs. Wade is considered “rare,” I think we can agree that it would be very easy for us to take the steps to ensure that all other forms of homicide will be rare as well.
And since Janet Napolatono can send can send as many people over to try and intimidate me as she wants, (I'm not going to shut up about the Democrats murdering children, regardless,) I guess I will go ahead and post it.
And for any Secret Service types reading this, I am not advocating for the assassination of any heads of state. I'm pointing out flawed thinking underlying the disingenuous rhetoric of our current president. I neither support the murder of children by abortion, nor the murder of a president, no matter how corrupt, and dishonest he is. Finding a compromise on abortion is a lot like finding a compromise on slavery. You can't do it. Either you think human beings are property or you don't. In the case of abortion, either you think it's acceptable to intentionally dispose of innocent human lives like unwanted garbage, or you don't. There is no compromise, and in the end, we will win this one, and President Obama will go down in history as a notorious villian for his advocacy for homicide by abortion and infanticide. (See Barack Obama, Born Alive Infant Protection Act.)
how bout this compromise...since you think abortion is
acceptable, why not perform a late term abortion on one of your children? How is that any different from your position
of allowing born-alive babies to be left to die?
If you want to murder your unborn child - YOU will stand before YOUR Creator.
Just DO NOT USE MY TAX DOLLARS TO MURDER ANY UNBORN CHILD... thank you.
