Barack Obama on The Issue of Life
54Obama and His Stand on Issue of Life
The countdown is on and we only have a few days left before we elect the next President of this great nation. I am feeling a sense of urgency and hope voters go to the poll informed on the candidate's stand on issues like faith, education, environment, family life, right to life, etc. that matters to most of Americans. Whether you are Catholic or not, I think, there are a lot of people in this nation who share common traditional values and belief system as the Catholics.....the value and protection of an unborn child; sanctity of marriage. Below is another message from CatholicVote.com that I believe will provide voters with information on where Obama stands on important issue of life. Please take a moment to check the information provided below. Our future and our children's future is at stake.
RE: Barack Obama on the Issues of Importance to Catholics
1. Obama is undecided on whether life begins at conception - Saddleback Church Forum Aug 16th, 2008. Obama voted against born alive protections for abortion survivors four times, and voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion in the Illinois state senate
Audacity of Hope written by Barack Obama
2. Obama has pledged to Planned Parenthood to sign The Freedom of Choice Act, a law which would cancel every state, federal, and local regulation of abortion, no matter how modest or reasonable. It would even abolish all state restrictions on government funding for abortions. Catholics that pay income tax will be paying an abortionist to perform an abortion. It would also abolish state laws that protect Catholic doctors and nurses from losing their jobs if they refuse to participate in abortions. It would abolish requirements for parental notification and informed consent for mothers who consider the procedure. - Obama speech to Planned Parenthood, July 17, 2007

8. He voted yes on $100M to fund contraceptives for teens and sponsored bill providing contraceptives for low-income women.

The picture on this page is an untouched photograph of a being that has been within its mother for 20 weeks. Please do me the favor of looking at it carefully. Do you have any doubt that this is a breathing, living human being?
