Looking through the Constitution, can’t seem to find “reproductive rights” anywhere.

PEO voted against the Born Alive acts which would have given comfort to babies born alive after botched abortions. Source: "No. 1," said Mr. Obama, "whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or other elements of the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a - a child, a 9-month-old - child that was delivered to term."

Yes. In other words, a baby born alive at 37 weeks is just as much a human "person" as a baby born alive at 22 weeks.

Mr. Obama, however, saw a problem with calling abortion survivors "persons." "I mean, it - it would essentially bar abortions," said Mr. Obama, "because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute."

He also promised NARAL one of his first acts as president would be to sign FOCA into law--FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT--which would eliminate ALL regulations from ALL abortions. So now that he has won the election he's going to make a 180 degree change in his stances on abortion and other issues?!

This is bad, people, VERY BAD!!!

Yep, pretty much everyone (or at least everyone who cared about the issue) knew that Obama was pro-abortion. No one should be particularly surprised or upset when he follows through on his pro-abortion platform. Many on the pro-life side (including Sarah Palin) tried to point out Obama's extreme pro-abortion views, but it just didn't resonate with an electorate obsessed with the economy and drunk on Barry's Kool-Aid.

Obama loves infanticide.

There is as much abortion in America as in any country in the Western World. What the hell is there left to push? Taunt the baby after it is aborted? A one month trial period after the birth of your baby? Perhaps a ChiCom type plan were abortions are mandatory if you have more than one child.

During the primaries I was told that the President had little power over abortion anyway, here at FR. I sure hope they were right and not trying to cover their faux-Conservative candidates a$$.

Folks what we will need to defeat FOCA, which is the worst of 0bamas pro-abortion plans, is basically a Pro-Life version of the huge protests against amnesty last year. If we can mount a campaign like that we can win.
