Obama on abortion
August 16, 2008
Barak Obama completely skirted the question on abortion. He used the typical liberal religious pablum that he is personally and “convicted” religiously against abortion but stands for Roe v. Wade and wants to “reduce abortions” because that is something “we can all agree upon.”
The problem is that Obama has done nothing to promote the reduction in abortions because as with the rest of the far left, he believes in his heart that abortion on demand should be protected as the highest value superseding all other consideration in the abortion debate.
He was miserable in his answer on late-term abortions. Though he has stood firmly against the prohibition of partial-birth-abortions, he will allow some prohibitions of late-term abortion with the “health of the mother” exception. He knows such restrictions allow legislators to claim they are restricting abortion, but in practice, no such restrictions hold legally.
