No, Senator. They wouldn’t go along with the program. They wouldn’t just come out limp and dead.
They were coming out alive. Born alive. Babies. Vulnerable human beings Obama, in his detached pomposity, might otherwise include among “the least of my brothers.” But of course, an abortion extremist can’t very well be invoking Saint Matthew, can he? So, for Obama, the shunning of these least of our brothers and sisters — millions of them — is somehow not among America’s greatest moral failings.
No. In Obama’s hardball, hard-Left world, these least become “that fetus, or child — however you want to describe it.”
Most of us, of course, opt for “child,” particularly when the “it” is born and living and breathing and in need of our help. Particularly when the “it” is clinging not to guns or religion but to life.
But not Barack Obama. As an Illinois state senator, he voted to permit infanticide. And now, running for president, he banks on media adulation to insulate him from his past.
The record, however, doesn’t lie...
This is an excerpt from Andrew McCarthy's challenging (make that, chilling) NRO article, "Why Obama Really Voted For Infanticide." I posted it back in August of 2008. But, in the heat of this present election season, when a lot of your church friends are still thinking of Barack Obama as a nice, kindly man, I figured it was a good time to post it again. Follow the link above (it still works) and then pass it along to those in your circle who are yet tragically uniformed.
