Last week Deal Hudson wrote a disturbing piece on Barack Obama’s permissive stance toward infanticide. Click here for the entire text.
Senator Obama’s position on this issue, a position opposed even by the most liberal elements of his party, including California Senator Barbara Boxer, is to date the most extreme anti-life position espoused by a serious candidate for the presidency.
While all murder is murder, the Catechism singles out infanticide as an “especially grave crime” (no. 2268).
This again brings me back to the question I posed here several months ago: What could possibly constitute a “proportionate reason” that would morally justify a vote for Senator Obama?
Unbelievable Kmiec was dean of a Catholic university. Any body who is the least bit religious cannot possible support a candidate who has zero regard for human life.
Thou shall not kill.
Please vote in November - Thanks!
“The stated aim of this legislation is to “end the abortion wars,” by allowing abortion-on-demand in all nine months of pregnancy for any reason and without any restrictions nationwide.’
That makes me feel ill.
Stopped reading there.

Good for you! (of course that means that you didn't find out why the author, in a well-reasoned argument, thinks Obama is pretty much a dirt bag - but hey, look at the cool post you got to make.)
“Any body who is the least bit religious cannot possible support a candidate who has zero regard for human life.”

I dare say that most Obama supporters are religious people.

An Obama-Rezko primer: Who is Tony Rezko?
A: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is a millionaire Chicago businessman who has long helped young politicians raise money and make connections. Raised in Syria, he moved to Chicago to study engineering but wound up making money in real estate and fast food. He is now on trial in federal court on mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and attempted extortion charges.
When a candidate for public office is wrong on abortion, he or she cannot be right on the other issues.

It really is that simple. Evil loves to sow seeds of uncertainty through confusion. In my entire life, I have never seen so much coverage of an election ... ever! The masses watch CNN, FOX, MSNBC and all the other msm, discussing and weighing a multitude of factors. The primary decision must be based on life because it effects this and future generations.
Speak for yourself, whoever you are.
He does disagree with the founding principals or principles of the country. He needs to equate himself with the events and the hows and whys of writing our Declaration of Independence and writing the Constitution.
I couldn’t agree more!
I haven't found it at all difficult not to like Obama.
Yep. . .but it isn't God they're worshipping.
I think that was intended to be a rhetorical comment.
Comment
Excellent question that every one claiming to be a Christian should ask themselves.
Some of us on FR have asked this in posts many times.
No one who calls himself or herself a good Christian and that includes Armstrong Williams and most certainly J C Watts could sanely, possibly aid and abet the murder of defenseless humans.
Because of Obama's past votes on the sanctity of life issues, I find it to be a serious sin to vote or support The Obama for President.
