Monday, Oct. 16, 2006 My Spiritual Journey By Barack Obama
Two days after I won the democratic nomination in my U.S. Senate race, I received an email from a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical School.
"Congratulations on your overwhelming and inspiring primary win," the doctor wrote. "I was happy to vote for you, and I will tell you that I am seriously considering voting for you in the general election. I write to express my concerns that may, in the end, prevent me from supporting you."
The doctor described himself as a Christian who understood his commitments to be comprehensive and "totalizing." His faith led him to strongly oppose abortion and gay marriage, but he said his faith also led him to question the idolatry of the free market and the quick resort to militarism that seemed to characterize much of President Bush's foreign policy.

Welcome to FR...
More crap in the MSM. We buy what the MSM is selling at our peril. I'm sure this will go over well with the Oprahfied sheep in the American herd, though.
LOL!!! Just the title had me guffawing.
I told him I understood his position but had to disagree with it. I explained my belief that few women made the decision to terminate a pregnancy casually; that any pregnant woman felt the full force of the moral issues involved and wrestled with her conscience when making that decision; that I feared a ban on abortion would force women to seek unsafe abortions, as they had once done in this country. I suggested that perhaps we could agree on ways to reduce the number of women who felt the need to have abortions in the first place.
How about this:

Until you've walked in the boots of that weird guy at the bar who can't even get the fat drunk chicks to give him the time of day, you can't have an opinion on his decision to rape.
Words do mean things.
Rape is the woman's fault...if you're Musslim.
Rape is the woman's fault...if you're Muslim.

Furthermore, how in the world can a "procedure" be characterized as "safe" when there is a %50 human mortality rate every time it is performed?

No barf alert???
I wonder what that loaded phrase is supposed to mean?
Yes, and to a leftist, they mean lots of different things, depending on what they want at the time.
How are we to interpret this? Does it mean he has no principles? Does it mean that he's a puppet of public opinion's strings? Does it mean he can't even control his own web site? I can't think of a good way, unless "I'll do what it takes to win" is good in this context.
It MEANS he's a communist....to me.
lol..some are looking to him for that
