Even the extremist abortion advocacy group NARAL Pro-Choice America did not oppose passage of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Nevertheless, Senator Obama, proving to be more extreme, opposed the Illinois bill, thereby denying legal protection for these babies.

This needs to be repeated EVERYWHERE!

"At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?"

When he learns to speak English?

Hope you can appreciate this quote from Michelle Obama:

That's the leader I want: somebody who is so moved by his own children that he'll go out there and fight for everyone else's.

One of the things that changed my mind about abortion- I was pro-dead baby, err, ahem!, choice, was thinking about the issues raised by Philip K. Dick’s “The Prepersons“-

“The whole mistake of the pro-abortion people from the start, he said to himself, was the arbitrary line they drew. An embryo is not entitled to American Constitutional rights and can be killed, legally, by a doctor. But a fetus was a “person”, with rights, at least for a while; and then the pro-abortion crowd decided that even a seven month fetus was not “human” and could be killed, legally, by a licensed doctor. And, one day, a newborn baby - it is a vegetable; it can’t focus its eyes, it understands nothing, not talks… the pro-abortion lobby argued in court, and won, with their contention that a newborn baby was only a fetus expelled by accident or organic processes from the womb. But, even then, where was the line to be drawn finally? When the baby smiled its first smile? When it spoke its first word or reached for its initial time for a toy it enjoyed? The legal line was pushed back and back. And now the most savage and arbitrary definition of all: when it could perform ‘higher math’.” (at age 12)

You want to know the government answer to this......
ask the IRS.

You and I know it’s at conception but not the IRS.

When Does a Baby Get Human Rights?

Lets see, in Obama's mind maybe after the baby turns 18 and only if the BABY joined the DEMOCRATS or COMMUNIST party.

“depends on who’s asking and when (BHO)”

He’s going to be asked this question during the debates and hopefully in a way worded not to let him avoid the issue. This needs to be highlighted and spotlighted by the opposing side as often as possible.

According to America's Founders, life, and the liberty to enjoy it, are unalienable. The word, "unalienable," implies the great truth of Thomas Jefferson's summation that, "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

What many citizens today fail to reason through is that the so-called "right to choose," is an invented euphemism of recent decades designed to mask the ugly act of "destroying" the life and liberty of the child in the womb. So was the use of the word, "fetus," which is so much less personal than the word, "baby." By those euphemisms, an artificial right was bestowed by unelected justices of the Supreme Court of the United States on only one class of citizens (women) to destroy the Creator-endowed, therefore "unalienable" life and liberty of an as-yet-unborn citizen.

This question is the most important one to be considered in the 2008 election of a President.

Consider the logic utilized by those who say they personally oppose taking the life of the child in the womb, but believes in the trite and tired old phrase of "a woman's right to choose."

Why could a 70-year-old daughter not use the same reasoning to apply to a "right to choose" to get rid of an elderly mother whose care is threatening her own health? (And don't say it is not realistic to claim the health risk that many face!)

Or, why should the nation's law not provide that same "right to choose" to both men and women who consider another individual to be a threat to their personal health or wellbeing, an inconvenience to their lifestyle, or merely a burden they cannot take care of?

Clearly, America's laws against the taking of life do not allow for a citizen's "right to choose" murder as an optional way of solving a personal dilemma, no matter how perplexing or burdensome.

Unmask the faulty logic of the fence sitters, and let them articulate what is their real reason for favoring the taking of a life in the womb! Is it not possibly because they do not see children in the womb as beings "endowed by their Creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"?

The candidate who is most likely to appoint Supreme Court justices who understand this basic principle underlying our liberty and the American Constitution is the only logical choice to lead this nation, in this voter's humble opinion!

When Michelle was carrying.....as her stomach grew, did nobama wonder if she was carrying a fetus-puppy, fetus-homosepien, or what? If someone had hit her with a car which would have forced the loss of what she was carrying in her stomach, would nobama call the loss of it,a “what”? Would he have sued for the loss of a “what”?

Fertilization or implantation, depending on your view. Those are the valid ones imho.

Apparently, when it survives the murderous onslaught of caring and feeling abortionists, liberals, do-gooders, and general-all-around-thinking-and-caring-humanists.
