Out in western Pennsylvania, the issue of abortion can strike a nerve. Democrats there often describe themselves economic liberals and social conservatives who favor gun rights and oppose abortion rights.
So, it was not unusual to see a woman stand near the end of Barack Obamas town hall meeting in Johnstown, Penn., and offer a hurried, passionate plea for him to stop these abortions.
The exchange appeared to be prompted by Obamas earlier comments that he does not favor abstinence-only education, but rather comprehensive sexual education that includes information on abstinence and birth control. Look, I got two daughters 9 years old and 6 years old, he said. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby. I dont want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesnt make sense to not give them information.

A baby is punishment?
What about adoption or loving your grandchild no matter what - you idiot.
Good post. Those words may come back to haunt him.
“but if they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.”
How about instilling morals and values into them so that they keep their dang legs closed until marriage so that they need not compound being s slut with being a murderess?
pretty much sums up the ‘real’ Obama doesn’t it?
I guess it might prevent his daughters from going to Harvard Law.... what a loss to society THAT would be.
My God if the dimmocrats had nominated a thinking grown-up, this election would already have been decided.
What a creep
- Barack Obama
Didn’t God tell us to grow and multiply? Oh, wait. We have a new God. His name is Obama.
Interesting that he considers a baby more of a punishment than an STD, but not really unexpected...
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Michelle Malkin ping list...
It looks like there's some kind of character encoding issue on the title of this thread: The apostrophes and quotes come out looking like (on my system) black diamond question marks on the front page of FR.
Can you fix this, please?
where’s the “hope” for the unborn?
I can understand what he’s talking about, think about what his mother must’ve went through.
First Obamanation throws his Grammy Cracker under a bus. Now he throws the unborn into the trash. What a great humanitarian Barry is.
Both are lifelong consequences to deal with, but one is more of an inconvenience, apparently.
what he doesn’t get is that his mother was punished with him, and now we are punished by having such a racist jerk running for president.
Since he would be in favor of his daughters having an abortion if they would become pregnant, he won’t be able to go around the country stating he is “personally opposed but....”
let him pick “comprehensive” sex ed for his kids, and let others pick the abstinence only or opt out if that’s the way they choose to bring up their own.
