Its not looking good for us, but I'm going to stay optimistic about.

One of the things that I noticed was when they got to the issue of partial birth abortion. It appeared to me that Obama was hesistant, and he really wasn't sure what to say.

Obama stutters on everything before saying 'look'. Almost a trademark at this point.

Really? Never noticed that. But it was pretty clear to me he was having much difficulty when it came to addressing the issue of partial birth abortion.

I went and watched that part of the debate again. He seemed to answer it pretty directly. He explained why he voted present on that vote that McCain brought up and said very clearly he would oppose third or late term abortions as long as the mother's health is insured. What part are you saying he had difficulty on? Here's a link to the full debate, and the question on justices and Roe V Wade comes up around 1:05.

Okay. Not sure why, but now after watching it again, I don't see that same uncertainty that I did the other night. So forgive my last statement.

But I want to comment on Obama's remark that he didn't oppose saving a failed abortion when he said "its not true." And it didn't undermine Roe v. Wade, like he said it did.

Quote:
David Fredosso, author of the excellent new book "The Case Against Barack Obama," points out that Obama has repeatedly made the false claim that he only spoke out against an Illinois bill that would have recognized premature abortion survivors as "persons" because it would have negatively affected Roe v. Wade. Yet "every single version of the bill was neutral on Roe. Each one affected only babies already born, not ones in the womb."

Obama's own words, circulating in transcript form and on YouTube, are even more incriminating, as he articulates his opposition to the bill seeking to protect a baby born alive as a result of a botched abortion. "Essentially, adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."

Translation: Obama will not theoretically burden a woman's right to abort her child, but he will actually burden an already-born infant's chances of surviving.

Obama is so slavishly obedient to the abortion lobby's cultish protection of a woman's right to terminate her own offspring's life, that he opposed measures designed to protect an already-born baby's chances to survive. And you wonder why we say pro-abortion liberals have made abortion a ritualistic religious sacrament!

On "Hannity & Colmes," Democratic strategist Bob Beckel indignantly stated: "Are you suggesting Barack Obama wants babies to die? … I've never thought the Republicans would go this far. … This is about as low as you can go."

Yes, Bob. Barack Obama was the only member of the Illinois Senate to speak against a bill that would have granted legal protection to already-born babies still alive after a failed abortion. He used his power to prevent those innocent babies from having the best chance to survive. The evidence speaks for itself. It doesn't get much colder than that.

With so many other things to nail on Obama, I'm gonna take him at his word on this at least and not the spin provided by someone trying to capitilize on the sensationalism he himself creates in a book he wants to sell, apparently solely to sell that book.
