Obama could not bring himself to state that a baby's human rights begin at birth!
ABC News ^ | August 16, 2008 | Jake Tapper

“At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?”

Obama said that “whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade. “

What exactly is a "scientific perspective" regarding the question of when human rights begin? It's not a question that science is even capable of answering.

“At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?”

John McCain's two word correct answer to that simple question was a swift kick right to Obama's balls. Hillary and a lot of the delegates might just give Obama a hosing after that pathetic performance.

Many links in this article, but it conclusively proves that Obama has lied about his opposition to a bill in Illinois that would have protected babies born alive and separated from their mothers after botched abortions.

The fact that McCain has not plastered the airwaves with a television commercial explaining this is very troubling. I cannot imagine how exposure of these facts would not convince independents to vote for McCain.

A 100% rating from NARAL and a 0% rating from the NRTL Committee, makes Obama a scumbag of the first order.

The President of the USA always has the lives of 350 million people in his hands and should take that seriously and not blow off ANY questions.

Or - someone aspiring to be President! Thank you, you articulated *exactly* what I've been trying to say all night.

And he can snake around all the issues and say "You misinterpreted what I (didn't say) said.

Cherry pick this quote!! "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm Uhhhhhhhhhhh"

I know I'm tired and cranky but, again, thank you Jersey!

Sorry hussein, this one made it. Will you let your daughters be "punished" by having a baby?

So, not only does he not value human pre-born life, he can’t even answer a question honestly.

So, not only does he not value human pre-born life, he does not value even life that survives abortion.

One thing for sure, any so-called members of the Christian Community that embraces any of those Obama answers can't honestly think of themselves as Christian and if they do they had better learn to read, the Bible.

He can’t answer that question with any specificity. Because if he does, the interviewer can simply tell him to go back one second in time, and say what it is about the baby at that point that makes its life of less worth than the time he’s already indicated.

It’s “above his pay grade” and it’s going to stay that way!

Unreal...

Question:When does life begin?

Obama: Don’t really know...I’m not really paid enough to answer that question...Puzzling...hmmmm...don’t know...

F ing dumb ass....to the max...

And that democratic spin meister made it sound like he gave a great answer...

McCain spoke from the heart... and with conviction.... Each time there was a question.. I couldn’t wait to hear what Mac would say...

With Obama... I knew each answer was BS... pure BS....

He never looked at the audience or the host...

He’s dangerous...

The recently released Jerome Corsi book, Obama Nation, has a very damning section on Obama's demigoguing the issues we deem 'pro-life/anti-life'. Corsi highlights several points (pages 237 - 240):

1) On March 30, 2001 Obama was the ONLY Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would protect babies who survive late-term abortion; his rationale was that to extend personhood to these struggling survivors would be anti-abortion so he strongly rejected defining these babies as persons

2) In 1997 Obama voted in the Illinois Senate AGAINST a bill designed to prevent partial birth killing of alive, sensing unborn children

3) Obama has consistently voted to expand embryonic stem cell exploitation

4) Obama has consistently voted against requiring minors to notify their parents if they seek or obtain an out of state abortion

5) Obama is a zealous supporter of planned parenthood which operates the greatest percentage of their killing clinics in black and under privileged neighborhoods

6) Obama has told Planned Parenthood that if he is elected president he will prevent opponents of Roe v Wade from being appointed to the Supreme Court

7) Obama has consistently ignored the FACT of the great harm abortion has done to the African-American communities

Well he could not state that because then he would be asserting that a baby does not have any rights prior which would cause a storm among the right to life supporters. The pro abortion crowd are fond of asserting that a baby’s rights start only at birth. With their rights being supplanted by the decision process of politicians who craft legislation.

My post was analogy of him sidestepping the specific question asked.

His history of voting “Present” for the purpose of sidestepping commitment to issues is well documented.

I think he ‘feels’ neutrality makes him appear a nicer person, and will gain him more friends along the way towards his goal of dessimating this Nation.

Personally I’d like the opportunity to vote “Present” in November should he and McCain be my choices, but even should Hillary, as I suspect will happen, gain the Democrat nod I will vote McCain.

Prayers for Conservative gains in our House and Senate. That is equally important as the Presidency IMO, especially now that the Bear is back.

Really--if a presidential candidate isn't capable of engaging his opponent in debate, his party has got some serious problems.

I think u miss the point... This guy doesn’t even think life begins at birth for some people.

Hillary and her minions are burning up the phone lines tonight. I imagine they are trying to convince the SDs that Obambi cannot be elected.
