Obama has forcefully vowed that his very first act as President would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). FOCA claims a "fundamental right" to abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy, and no government body at any level would be able to "deny or interfere with" this right. Even the pro-choice NOW readily acknowledges that FOCA would literally "sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws [and] policies."
Obama has a 0% rating from the National Right to Life Committee and 100% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America.

In defense of LIFE
Most of my early adulthood I was adamantly pro-choice. I was adamant in a woman's right to choose, no matter what......I am grateful to say that I have matured into a believer in the Sanctity of LIFE, especially for those who are unable to speak for themselves.....Those are the unborn....thoe most easily discarded of our society because they have no voice.
When this election began I did not give any thought to being pro-life or pro-choice. Roe vs Wade is so much a part of our society and our Constitution that it hasn't been an issue of thought for me because I have not seen that issue changing in our lifetime.
Things changed dramatically for me with the nomination of Barack Obama. I already had many misconceptions about him for President, but one issue has become a touchstone for me. That is Obama's EXTREME PRO-ABORTION stance. Don't believe me? Here is why.......
Now, many ardent and radical Obama believers would denounce my statement of Obama being pro-abortion as extreme. I will explain how I got there. Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder than words. The only way we can really learn more about a Presidential Candidate is by their actions, how they may have voted in Senate (or in their sphere of Government), and actual bills they may have endorsed, and their words in writing or in video......Obama has spoken and acted ardently PRO-ABORTION.
He has proven, by actions, that he not only votes pro-choice, but has supported the absolute death of a baby. A woman seeking abortion must be guaranteed a DEAD BABY. He has stated his FIRST act of Congress as President is the removal of ALL state restrictions on abortion (parental consent, term limits on abortion and fetal age, etc) AND the guarantee of partial birth abortions in ALL states.
The Born Alive Infants Act is a piece of legislation that was written to guarantee that when an infant SURVIVED an abortion then a Doctor had a legal responsibility to provide medical care. Obama voted AGAINST this act 4 times! He was the ONLY Senator in Congress to do so. Even the most devout pro-choice Senators voted FOR this act....only Obama chose NO. 4 TIMES
He stated: 1) it would add additional distress on the woman to have an actual baby survive 2) it would encumber the medical system financially to add an additional doctor 3) it would hamper Roe vs Wade. When the Bill was changed to guarantee Roe vs Wade Obama STILL VOTED NO.
This stance only makes Obama PRO-ABORTION and in no way honoring the sanctity of life.
Many have challenged me stating that Obama is Christian. I challenge ANY supposed or self-professed Christian or believer in God or Allah to examine their values in their vote. Even if a Christian/Jew/Muslim might say they are pro-choice (how I don't know), even the most secular must realize that a LIFE born is ALIVE and worth saving. Anything otherwise is murder, infanticide, and contrary to Christian beliefs on LIFE.
Those who denounce Obama's beliefs KNOW he LIES when he says he is Christian. He practices a 'non-Christian' version of a religion from the Rev. Wright Church. But this is another issue...
Obama's own words have shown that he does not value life. When asked when life began he stated the answer was 'above his pay grade' and he would not take a theological stand. When one denounces a life unborn, born and not saveable, then one can easily denounce ANY life as unworthy.
For further info, YES infants are Born Alive in abortions. Those involving saline regularly have live births. Saline: mother injected with saline, infant breathes in saline and it burns inside and out, baby is expelled....can live.....
Partial-birth: womb is dilated to allow baby to be turned breech to be delivered, on purpose, feet first (if head comes out it is a live birth--abortable if only feet out). Scissors are inserted at base of skull and opened to allow a suction machine to suck out brains then head collapses and baby delivered...babies have survived this as well....
Abortions are allowed into the 9th month.........when you hold the feet in your hands how can you call it 'beyond your pay grade' to state it is LIFE?
VOTE your conscience......VOTE your beliefs....VOTE your values....What do YOU value???

Born Alive FACTS
Here is more info on the BORN ALIVE INFANT PROTEDTION ACT that Barack Obama fought against....matter of fact...he was the ONLY Senator to do so.....His argument? " if we go and recognize premature babies born alive in what some people call a previable condition, although they were clearly living for a while, if we do this, then it might down the road affect the right to abortion.
"Every single abortion proponent in the United States Senate at the time they voted on this the roll call vote was in 2001 every single one is more protective of human life in its early stages and more respectful of human life in its early stages than is Senator Obama based on his voting record. " (Freddosso) because even Barbara Boxer and Hilary Clinton voted FOR this act ONLY OBAMA did not....
The Born Alive Act would protect the life of an infant born AFTER an abortion. Now think, if a Doctor killed these babies it would be murder, so hospitals were just leaving them to die......Obama supports this practice. What does THAT say about him?
(Freddosso)

INSERT FOOT AND SQUEEEEEEEL!
From politico.com:
S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion
South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said. Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."
UPDATE -- Carol Fowler releases a statement of apology: "I personally admire and respect the difficult choices that women make everyday, and I apologize to anyone who finds my comment offensive. I clumsily was making a point about people in South Carolina who may vote based on a single issue. Whether it’s the environment, the economy, the war or a woman’s right to choose, there are people who will cast their vote based on a single issue. That was the only point I was attempting to make."
No comment from Obama.....it is beyond his pay grade

Obama's Abortion EXTREMISM
A Washington Post article by Michael Gershon notes that Obama has EXTREME views on abortion. In reading remember.......Roe vs Wade is not in danger (for those who support choice) so Obama's EXTREME views MUST be noted:
"But Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide." Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed that he would not want his daughters to be "punished with a baby" because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life.
"Abortion is an unavoidable moral issue. It also has broader political significance. Democrats of a past generation -- the generation of Hubert Humphrey and Martin Luther King Jr. -- spoke about building a beloved community that cared especially for the elderly, the weak, the disadvantaged and the young.
The advance of pro-choice policies imported a different ideology into the Democratic Party -- the absolute triumph of individualism. The rights and choices of adults have become paramount, even at the expense of other, voiceless members of the community."
If we realize that Roe Vs Wade is not going to go away anytime soon then we can get to the heart of the abortion issue for most Americans. Women already have the right to choose so what are some facts on this issue?
Obama views a teen pregnancy as a PUNISHMENT IF a girl CHOOSES life for her child.
Obama voted PRO partial birth abortion. (One of the times he ACTUALLY VOTED!)
Obama OPPOSES the right to care for aborted babies that LIVE.
Obama believes YOU and I should pay for abortions for those women who can't afford them.
Now we have some clear FACTS about Obama and his version of choice for WOMEN and the unborn. You may find women that are prochoice (proabortion in some circles), but you rarely find a woman that supports the FACTS I mentioned above. Most SANE and MORAL american's (and not just on the right) view a life born as ALIVE and therefore worthy of being kept that way. Obama supports INFANTICIDE. Don't we call that murder?
Those are FACTS that can't be denied.
