Can you be pro-life and support Senator Obama?

I'm glad to hear Martin Sheen is pro-life! Oh nevermind, he's only pro-Charlie Sheen. Canard number one: "Republican partisans maintain that the only way to be pro-life is through the supreme court." Not true at all. Simply go to the national right to life website and see a link for the many adoption options that are out there.

Republicans/conservatives maintain that abortion is a barbaric taking of innocent human life that shouldn't be condoned in a civilized society. We maintain that society must be educated, while at the same time pointing out that the law of the land reflects and guides the morality of that land. Why do you think homosexual lobby is working so hard to equalize homosexual union with marriage? They want to change society from the top down... through the courts or the law.

Mr. Kmiec (the interviewer ) is right when he says overturning Roe V. Wade would return the issue to the states. Each state could then make its own decision. Yet Democrats often make it sound as if electing a Republican is akin to taking away a woman's right to choose.

Canard number two: "Most of those women are in bad times economically." He makes it sound as if most of the women who have an abortion are practically homeless. I simply did a google search on abortion statistics and came up with a paper at a site called www.thirdway.org, so no one can dismiss this as "pro-life propaganda." Here's an excerpt from the paper: "Women who have abortions tend to be low income, but that could be a factor of their age rather than their poverty status. 57% of women who seek an abortion have incomes that are below twice the federal poverty level. However, the portrait that it paints of them as poor could be misleading. 52% of women who have an abortion are under the age of 25. Young people simply earn less than older people and single people earn far less than married people. For example, a 2003 census bureau study found that those under 25 with a bachelor’s degree earned on average $22,000 while those between 25 and 29 with the same degree earned $39,000.x Thus, these women could have low incomes, but they could also have wealthy or middle class parents."

Canard number three: It's okay to vote for Obama even though you're pro-life because he wants to expand government to help women with unwanted pregnancies: The absurdity of his argument amazes me: that the Government on one hand should come alongside you can try to convince you to have that baby, presumably through some sort of social welfare program or other financial incentive, while on the other hand encouraging abortion by giving more money to planned parenthood and making abortion more and more acceptable and accessible. Talk about mixed messages!

In Obama's case he even justifies infanticide on the basis that it could threaten a woman's right to choose http://www.nrlc.org/ObamaBAIPA/Truth.html
