Along with his ultra liberal record, support for social welfare policy and desire to appease our enemies, Obama’s radical abortion position marks him as a scumbag of the first order.

America’s culture of death has a good friend and staunch ally in Obama.

I’d love to have the jackass get asked this question: If one of your daughters gets “punished” with a pregnancy, which method of abortion would you prefer your grandchild to be murdered with: saline; being torn apart piece by piece; having a scissors shoved into your grandchild’s head while they suck the brains out; or if your grandchild ‘accidentally’ gets born, would you mind if the child dies of exposure while being denied medical care to live? Huh?

What a dirtbag! My God! And he’s in the White House!

It’s easy for libs to support abortion, They’re already here! They should all line up and dive off an overpass somewhere, Then we will reap the benefits of a post-abortion world. Libs, make your own abortions retroactive, Now! Show us the way!

Tribalism is tribalism: one group of people claiming that they can kill or enslave the innocent members of another group of people with total impunity.

“I think it can be argued as simple self-indulgent self-interest, sloth and greed. A general disregard for the sanctity of existing life at the expense of ‘new’ life. It is a decay of the human spirit and eventual surrender to evil.”

Agree with you, gaffer. What is ironic is that the Left chastizes those who believe is capitalism as greedy and evil because the system is based on enlightened self-interest while socialism is based on individual sacrifices for the “common good” (although common good is subject to interpretation). Now abortion turns the argument around: Liberals want it to be based on enlightened self-interest and conservatives want the common good to rule. Yet, once again, conservatives are characterized as greedy and evil for wanting to help others.

Same old same old question-begging rhetoric.

I’ve encountered it countless times here on FR, from shallow, brainless Libertarians. (I consider myself a Libertarian.)

A woman’s decision to poison her husband is a deeply personal decision. It is within her family, and therefore government has no right to intrude. It is not something that any woman does casually, as is so often implied by those who do not take women’s concerns seriously. It is a decision that touches upon the deepest moral and religious issues, and therefore it belongs between a woman, her clergyman, and her God.

What isn’t mentioned in this video is the story of Shanice Osbourne, a baby of 22 weeks gestation, who survived an abortion and was thrown into a biohazard bag of bleach then left on the roof for a week in the hot sun. Even when the police were able to recover the body, the baby had “died of natural causes”.
Full story here: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=77344

This video should be shown to every high school kid (probably earlier since many of the kids I work with usually start having sex between 13 and 15).

“government should not intrude on our most private family matters”

That’s quite a statement from someone who wants to tell you what you can eat!
It’s a shame that he thinks killling babies is so important, the Dems must make big bucks from their donations!

What other kind of “reasoning” can we can we expect from leftists? Leftists—those charming people who are so opposed to private family matters,such as educating children in your values, not the state’s! These escapees from Alice’s Wonderland are the ultimate in weirdness!

Also quite a reply for all those nosy questionaires my children received in public school asking about their parents’ drinking/smoking habits and religious views.

Obama likes to think of himself as connected to President Lincoln, will he ponder the great mans wisdom?

“Those who deny life through birth to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

Taken from President Abraham Lincoln’s words, “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

I assume you’re talking about the deeply personal decision to kill a baby, rather than the deeply personal decision to poison a husband.

The father of a baby has NO legally-recognized existence when it comes to killing his baby.

BTW: As long as abortion is legal, I support the abolition of compulsory child-support. I also support the abolition of compulsory child-support except when the father of the child and the mother of the child were married at the time of the child’s conception.

OK, so don't use other people's tax dollars to pay for it then.
