Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- With pro-life advocates and John McCain's campaign criticizing his position in favor of unlimited abortions, Barack Obama struck back on Thursday. The Illinois senator put forward an absolutist position in favor of abortion and attacked McCain for wanting judges who don't make law from the bench.
"I will never back down in defending a woman's right to choose," Obama said at a breakfast fundraiser with an internal campaign group called "Women for Obama."
"That's what's at stake," Obama added, referring to control of the Supreme Court and whether abortion will remain legal and without limits for another 35 years.
"Senator McCain has made it abundantly clear that he wants to appoint justices like Roberts and Alito -- and that he hopes to see Roe overturned," Obama said, according to an AP report. "I stand by my votes against confirming Justices Roberts and Alito."
Obama is campaigning with his half sister and pro-abortion former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and orchestrating events with women voters who may have supported his formal rival and are upset that he secured the nomination.
During the event, Obama promised to adopt Clinton's position in favor of abortion and promote it as president.
However, Clinton admitted that, for some of her former presidential backers, it may be difficult to get behind Obama in the general election.
"I understand how challenging it is to turn on a dime, to say, 'Close that chapter now, we're on to the next chapter,'" she said. "It is a process, it does take time for people to just take a deep breath and go forward."
Yesterday, the head of a pro-life women's group said Obama's record on abortion is extreme and that it wouldn't go over well with either women or American voters in general.
Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser pointed out how, last week, Obama was trying to make his absolutist position look better.
"Barack Obama knows his extreme record on abortion doesn't resonate with everyday American voters, so now he's trying to soften his image," Dannenfelser told LifeNews.com.
"It won't work. From his active opposition to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act to his support for the radical Freedom of Choice Act, Barack Obama is anything but moderate on abortion," she said.
She explained that, "Obama's abortion-friendly voting record shows his commitment to abortion on-demand, at any time, for any reason, funded by American taxpayers."
“Obama’s abortion-friendly voting record shows his commitment to abortion on-demand, at any time, for any reason, funded by American taxpayers.”
I think that sums it up. He’s drawn a line...let’s make it clear that this is one of a number issue that place him in the extreme as a candidate for president.
And, never forget, Obama is quite the world traveler. He’s spent a lot of time in the jungle and for all anyone knows may have developed a taste for “long pig”.
Right on, Obama! You go, girl. Let the people know where you really stand. It’s a sure-fire way for a liberal to get elected. /ROFLMAO
They didn’t survive the Abortion. They were delivered alive and allowed to die from medical neglect. The attending doctors had to issue Birth and Death certificates.
Actually, the Supreme Court ruled that it was permissible to ban partial birth abortions, which Bush+GOP Congress did.
Roe v Wade is no longer "absolute."
“He’s spent a lot of time in the jungle and for all anyone knows may have developed a taste for “long pig”.”
That is what that Sinclair guy said.
I had to read that one several times.
I wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow Obama came out and declared that everyone should have the right to choose to kill another person if they thought it expedient. I can’t stand this man.
but, but, Obama is a man of faith.
Start by writing a letter to the Catholic Digest, or any other religious publication. I’ve already done so on another issue regarding BHO... to 4 different pubs. Then get a list of parishoners at your church and send them letters informing them of BHO’s position on abortion and other issues. If we can change the mind of even a small percentage of folks, it’s worth a try.
"That's what's at stake," Obama added, referring to control of the Supreme Court and whether abortion will remain legal and without limits for another 35 years.
THAT is the true Obama speaking, and as such he can no longer profess to be a Christian. Christians don't murder babies. Only godless, evil people murder innocent little babies. May his soul be damned to hell along with those who support and participate in the murder of those poor little babies, unless they repent and forsake this evil.
