You are exactly right. The thing is that most people ignore the fact that when this country is doing the right thing, God will bless it as he has in the past.

I get accused of being a one issue voter and that’s fine with me. In my eyes, abortion and the other culture of life issues are the ones that will make or break this nation. If we continue to murder the unborn, guilt the elderly and sick into suicide or euthanasia, if we continue to create life to destroy it in the name of science, if we allow the cloning of humans I fear the wrath we deserve will not be long in coming.

And one other thing: I believe that bluntness is necessary in the cesspool culture we are raising our kids in. Parents need to teach their daughters to be modest and ladylike and focus on being good wives and mothers, and to keep their legs closed. They also need to be teaching their sons to be respectful of women, to focus on being good husbands and providers, and not let them fall in to pornography, and keep their pants zipped!

And this is the exact OPPOSITE of what kids will be taught if Obama and his minions get their way.

States have no right to alienate unalienable rights.

True, but "liberty" is another of those rights, and for 89 years after the Declaration of Independence nearly half of the states OK'd slavery.

Even if we had one more pro-life justice on the Supreme Court, I wouldn't count on the Court sweeping away the last 35 years' worth of rulings, and even if they did, activist lawyers at lower levels would try to render their decision as meaningless as possible. There would be more hope if it was left to the states, so some states could go back to strict restrictions...just as some states were able to end slavery within their borders before 1861. It's not ideal, but the best that might be achievable given the present strength of the pro-death forces.

If Barack wins, even before there are any Supreme Court vacancies, he'll be trying to sweep away any state restrictions on abortion on demand all the time, including partial birth abortion, and sweeping away protections for babies who survive an abortion. That's his track record.

Absolutely. They say the Roe might be overturned like it was a bad thing.

Seven of the nine justices were picked by Republicans, and not one of the nine recognizes the unalienable right to life of the unborn person. The best you can get out of them is an argument over the “lawful” way to butcher them.

That's his track record.

And McCain's is support for the destruction of human embryos, the funding of Planned Parenthood to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, and the belief that states' rights trump the unalienable right to life.

Most of the folks here have picked their poison, but as for me, I don't willingly drink poison.

Abortion is nothing but a form of genocide of the Unborn.

For the life of me I can't understand why some Christians and Jews support the genocide of the unborn. When HE calls the rolls and they must stand before His throne for judgment surly they must answer for the way they voted in pro-genocide politicians.

Whether it is the wholesale slaughter of living men, women or children or the unborn it is still carries one name genocide.

Obama's hollow excuses reveal much about the malevolent spirit that is within him. He worked to protect the killing of alive, born children, by induced premature birth and neglect of the struggling infant.

Obama's spinning/lying went in several directions, but the end result has been to obfuscate the issue with almost demonic brilliance, even going so far as to misdirect the public toward the very, very rare survival of an abortion attempt, as if a 'fetus' scheduled for abortion accidentally survived the abortion attempt and foes of Roe v Wade are trying to force medical stand-by for all abortions on the chance that this extremely rare occurrence happens. THAT IS THE LIE UPON WHICH HE'S DEPENDING.

What Obama was protecting was a method to kill alive unborn preemies by forcing their too early deliver, then neglecting these alive, struggling to breathe babies so they die unattended, alone. THAT IS EVIL and Obama was trying to protect that method of killing born alive children.

People have been mislead mightily, to see his work in Illinois as opposing a very rare situation, as if his efforts were heroic in preventing erosion to Roe v Wade. Truth is, the abortion method he was protecting was becoming so prevalent that the United States Congress wrote a bill banning it!

The truth about Barack Obama is much more dark and demonic: Obama knew that the induced labor abortion was becoming popular; Obama worked to prevent this abortion method from being outlawed! Obama worked to protect infanticide, clear, undeniable infanticide, the purposeful birthing of alive babies, to kill them outside of the female's body.

"... where he voted to let babies die after surviving their abortion." Please, get this right, NOW. The issue was not babies who survive an abortion attempt, the issue was the forced premature delivery IS AN ABORTION method because preemies cannot survive premature birth into the air world unless given heroic medical care! Obama worked his ass off to protect this method of killing the alive unborn. Please, if you're going to discuss this issue, get it right because what you just addressed is an extremely rare thing, yet the method Obama was trying to keep legal was becoming a popular way to slaughter babies by neglect so they suffocate unattended, alone!

As I said it is genocide.

If the mother's truly were in danger a C-Section can be preformed and both lives saved. Had two myself and my grandson was a C-Section birth. Both my DIL or myself would have died if we hadn't had C-Sections. We wanted our children.

Of course it is. But my point, which may be silly to folks at FR, is that Obama wasn't trying to stop some esoteric, extremely rare occurrence from degrading Roe v Wade, he was trying to protect a specific abortion method becoming popular for killing tens of thousands of alive premature babies.

True, we have been hearing of it’s increasing use in the past few years. The libs fight hard to kill the innocent, and harder still to preserve the lives of convicted killers.
