President Obama's Notre Dame speech on abortion was applauded by the mainstream media, quoting his call for more "open hearts, open minds, fair-minded words." But except for the pro-life, and some conservative forums, there was no mention of Obama's omission of his own documented, chilling record on abortion that proves what he also said on that Sunday: "No matter how much we want to fudge it … the fact is that at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable."
I watched the full-scale coverage of the speech on Fox News; and the reporting, before and after, did not inform the viewers — as one glaring example — that when Obama was an Illinois state senator, he voted three times against a Born-Alive Infants Protection Act that required medical care for an infant, born alive human being, during a botched abortion. When, during his Notre Dame speech, a protestor — before being removed — called Obama a "baby killer," he was making a literal point.
Obama has also clearly pledged a "litmus test" for his choices for the Supreme Court. In a July 17, 2007, speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, he stated: "With one more vacancy on the Supreme Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a woman's fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade. The next president may be asked to nominate that Supreme Court justice." Is this what he means by the need for "open minds" in the debate on abortion?

O-Boy is still being protected by the media.
PING
When Roe vs. Wade was argued, we were told that it would make abortion: legal, safe and rare. We can scratch safe and rare, and we’re left with legal. No matter what the President says about “fudging” the divide, he can’t fudge the results of Roe vs. Wade.
By the safe, legal, and rare, logic, we should legalize all murder so as to reduce it. But nooooooooooo.....
No one ever explains why abortion should be “rare”. If it is, as they say, simply a woman’s choice and just a “blob of tissue”, then why RARE? We throw away things we don’t want every day.
I think the pro-aborts, like our president, don’t dare address the FACT that the fetus (Latin for “young one”)is a living human being. By saying you are pro-choice you are really saying you approve of or condone the choice of killing that living human being. By throwing in the “rare” part, they are hiding behind a word they hope will make them sound less harsh than if they said only “safe and legal”.
Your thoughts?
Good point, why should it be rare if the fetus is the equivalent of a mole, or a booger, or tonsils?
Here is the deal for proborts, the fetus is a human being IF the mother wants it, and not a human being if the mother does not want it. If mommy wants the baby and she is beaten and the baby dies, the beater is charged with murder. If mommy kills the baby then its just choice, and she may even brag about it like whoopi goldberg.
God help us.
A while back, at a party, the subject of Obozo came up and I dismissed him as “literally” a baby killer and said (in my best new york-es) “you could look it up”. My disbelieveing mate kept her mouth shut but went, later, to a friend and repeated my charge. They both said ‘no way’ and then went and started Googleing the subject. They were stunned at what they found. They both had voted for the baby killer. They are both suburban, late thirties, white.
There are very few members of the Ministry of Propaganda - er... that is... the MSM - who haven’t fallen into lock step with the Kool Aid-drinkers of Obama’s Personality Cult.
Good for Hentoff. Let’s hope he opts to leave the Kool Aid alone throughout the coming three-and-a-half years.
Mr. President, did you mean what you said at Notre Dame about "working together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions"?
