Obama and Abortion
This past Friday we wrote a blog entitled, “Who is Barak Obama?” That blog received a record number of hits and was forwarded all around the country. If you have not read it, please do so.
As you know, Obama is a liberal. But how far to the left does he lean on the important issues?
None are more important than the issue of life. Throughout his career, in both the Illinois Senate and the U.S. Senate, he has consistently earned a 100% rating from all pro-choice groups, including NARAL.
Perhaps the measure of this man is found in the way he voted in Illinois on abortion bills.
His voting record as an Illinois State Senator shows just how pragmatically progressive he is. Rather than to vote “yes” or “no” on life bills, he voted “present.” It was later discovered that Planned Parenthood had actually orchestrated that voting model to protect him from pro-life voters who may have defeated him in future elections.
However, in 1997, Obama voted against SB230, which banned partial-birth abortion. He also voted “yes” in 2007 on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.
It is disturbing that his allegiance to Planned Parenthood exceeds his commitment to parents.
In July of 2006, he voted “no” on notifying parents of minors who get out of state abortions, thus opening the door for Planned Parenthood and other organizations to transport a child across state lines for an abortion without the parents knowledge.
The true watermark of how far left he is can be found in his book, “The Audacity of Hope.” In it he says, “When we get into a tussle, we appeal to the founding fathers and the Constitution’s ratifiers to give direction. Some like Justice Scalia, conclude that the original understanding must be followed and if we obey this rule, democracy is respected. Others like Justice Breyers insist that sometimes the original understanding can take you only so far – that on the truly big arguments, we have to take context, history, and practical outcomes of a decision into account. I have to side with Justice Breyer’s view of the Constitution – that it is not a static but rather a living document and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.” (page 89-92).
This is relativism in its highest form.
Interpretation: The Constitution will mean what I say it means in order to support what I believe.
God help us.

Thanks for making public the voting record of Obama and his support of the abortion industry. I pray more people will become informed and support candidates who will protect innocent human life.
The actual truth is that Barak is mistaken about Scalia - Scalia speaks with a forked tongue. He says he believes in the Constitution and "original intent" BUT he then trashes it by denying free speech to the young man in Alaska who raised his sign "Bong Hits for Jesus" on a public road.
So much for Scalia, the Constitution and Free Speech. As is so typical of those who call themselves conservative - but are not - they are, nothing but promoters of their own internal ethic and wrap it in the flag, the constitution and, sadly, often, the cross.

Gary,
Thank you, now I have a word to describe how you selectively accept only the biblical text that supports your position - relativism !
Could at least spell Barack right.
Hi Gary,
I think it is interesting (and telling!) that Greg is more concerned about the rights of a pot-head in Alaska than he is about the lives of innocent babies. God help us, indeed.

Vanessa -
I have concern about ALL human beings, born and unborn - I think it is called the 2nd commandment.
Where do you come off with your arrogant, condescending attitude??
God help you for your anti-Christ spirit.
Greg
