I’m beginning to wonder if Mr Romney’s gentle Mormonism won’t let him go in for the kill... ‘Kill’ being the right word... What the Republicans have is a tape made at the time Mr Obama voted repeatedly in the Illinois State Senate to deny rights of basic medical care to any child born alive in a botched abortion. Mr Obama is on tape referring to the victim as ‘a foetus outside the womb.’
[snip]
Mr Obama takes the position that, even when a child who is the target of an abortion attempt makes it as far as lying on a table and struggling to breathe, medical staff should be legally free to walk out of the room and let him gasp until he’s dead.
The party strategists know they aren’t going to win the swing-state undecided voters with that position. Which is why Mr Obama’s history of abortion extremism is being kept very quiet by the Democrats. But why is it being kept very quiet by the Republicans? ...

He's certainly said so, repeatedly, and made public policy on this basis (ref: the $50 Romneycare abortion) when he wasn't saying the opposite.

Ping!
You most certainly have a point. * sigh *
Romney: I Will Be a Pro-Life President, De-Fund Planned Parenthood
Maybe they don’t believe it would make any difference. If people don’t care about “punished with a baby” or the statement that government funding of Planned Parenthood must continue so the Obama daughters can get subsidized abortions, why should this matter? Senators who opposed the partial-birth abortion ban at the Federal level are still in office.
A lot of people just don’t care. They’ve got a president who is aggressively, gleefully pro-death, and they just don’t care.
But the more I hear from Obama, the more I realize I'd vote for a goddamn rattlesnake to get him out of office.
I "prefer" Romney only in the sense that I "prefer" smashing into a tree rather than going over a cliff.
Pretty much. I "prefer" Charlie Sheen to BananaFanaBoBana-Bama.
According to Chief Justice Taney (a Democrat), slaves were not people either.
Moment of Conception, period!
This supposed ambiguous state is exploited to support the wholesale slaughter of alive humans while they are in the water world.
I personally believe it is demonic effort to prevent more souls from coming to the full personhood God intends for the system He initiated. I can read John chapter three and see Jesus telling Nicodemus that except one be born of water (the water world of the womb) and the Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of Heaven.
I also personally believe that satan is working feverishly to develop his child through cloning and genetic manipulation. This will not goin on much longer ... and America has much to answer for, appointing a dead soul drug degenerate who has endorsed murder by abandonment/neglect and is working to institute similar methodology for the elderly 'burden' his dead soul ghouls wish to erase for utilitarian purposes.
Actually, the US Constitution made it a fact that slaves were not citizens, even after being freed, CJ Taney was the mouthpiece for the SCOTUS since at that time only one opinion was made-the winning one, and the finding was written by the CJ, like it or not. This prompted the 14th Amendment, which was written to correct that and grant former slaves US Citizenship and thier children the same. No reference to the humanhood of slaves/former slaves/children of the same was made in either document....
We know that the US Constitution as ratified was a compromise to strengthen the confederation, and that all southern/slave states were at risk of balking and walking away from any form of union (federation or confederation) unless the slave issue was punted...
Best;
That was a most unfortunate compromise and unfortunately ambiguous wording. Slaveholding States were trying to get their slaves counted to increase their representation in Congress, which non-slave States opposed. Slaves were not legally citizens, which would not happen until after emancipation; so they could not be termed "citizens" for purposes of representation. Hence the misleading legal terms "person" or persons under the law" -- not "people", which denoted more than one human being, or "a people", which meant an ethnic group or nation.
A "person under the law" is an abstraction, It can also be a corporation.
That said, I am in no way endorsing slavery, then or any other time. Just a discussion of the different point of view then, when the Court still tried to stick to dry legal interpretations, not social engineering. Their wording was clumsy and naïve in light of the explosive consequences.
I agree that slaves were not counted as citizens prior to the abolition of slavery. But were they persons? The constitution counted them as 3/5ths of a person for the purpose of taxation and for reapportionment, prior to the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.
Maybe because they fear being called “extremists” or “racists” over pointing out a TRULY EXTREME position taken by Obamao on abortion.
Or maybe they fear that people will be disgusted by such a “low blow” as talking about a truly LOW, VILE position taken by the White House occupant.
Or maybe it’s simply because some in the GOP-E are pro-choice, although I would like to think even they would distinguish their position, bad enough as it is, from Obamao’s. Surely the GOP-E does not want to be seen as those who would leave abortion survivors dying on an operating table?
Hmmm, shoulda put “choice” in quote marks there . . .
Thanks for the ping!
I am pro-life and will vote for Romney, because he is far better than Obama. Romney isn’t for post abortion murder like Romney.
As Dennis Prager states, this isn’t an election, it is a referendum on everything the Obama stands for. We need everyone to pledge to vote.
We need to look at the big picture. Obama and the Dems are destroying the military. Supporting terrorists. Betraying allies like Israel. Putting more restrictions, and taxes on all of us, especially the business owners. We can not take 4 more years of Obama. Period.
