Mr. Obama is right
Did anyone watch the debate last night?
And it is true that this is going to be, I think, one of the most consequential decisions of the next president. It is very likely that one of us will be making at least one and probably more than one appointments and Roe versus Wade probably hangs in the balance.
Now I would not provide a litmus test. But I am somebody who believes that Roe versus Wade was rightly decided.
Obama understands the importance of the issue of legalized abortion. So should we.
The intrinsically evil act of abortion has no proportionate issue. No greater issue with respect to magnitude, quantity, or degree of importance. Not our 401K's. Not the war. Not the buyout. Not education. Not health care. Not trade. Nothing.
We as Catholics with well formed consciousness should know each and every abortion is a murder of an innocent human life. Yet Obama disagrees. There is no room to agree to disagree when only one position is guided by the light of Truth.
I love Obama's help pay for collage plan. $4,000 for tuition earned by service to our country. That is a great idea in my opinion - but it doesn't matter. It like all the other issues is secondary to life. The good of Obama's economic ideas etc. are not proportionate to the intrinsic evil of his active support of abortion.
There is a reason that life is listed before liberty in the Declaration of Idependence. It's because life comes first. Not first among many but first before all that is given us.

Same product, improved marketing...
"During World War II, I.G. Farben GmbH of Germany made Zyklon B, the gas used to kill so many in the gas chambers. Today, a French successor company to I.G. Farben makes the abortifacient RU-486. Either the face of evil has changed little, or the devil has a limited range of business contacts." - From this article

If a quote were a vote what would you say?
“I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”
– God
“Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.”
– Jesus (see above)
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
– Declaration of Independence. (Rights sworn to be upheld by the President)
“Abortion is an ugly thing, a debasing thing, a thing which inevitably brings remorse and sorrow and regret.”
– LDS President Gordon B Hinckley
“In the last forty-plus years, 15 million black people have been denied their most basic civil right, the right to life. Roughly one quarter of the black population is now missing.”
- Dr. Alveda King, the niece of human rights campaigner, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!”
– Susan B. Anthony (A true feminist)
“…a concerted effort to steadily roll back [access to abortions]”
– Barack Obama (Speaking at the Planned Parenthood conference in DC rejecting the Gonzales v. Carhart decision -- which upheld a ban on partial-birth abortion. Explained in section I paragraph four of the dissenting opinion)
"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ...[Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a deadweight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
– Margaret Sanger. The Pivot of Civilization , Chapter on "The Cruelty of Charity," (Founder of Planned Parenthood and The Negro Project)
“...a subordinate and inferior class of beings...”
– in [Dred] Scott v. Sandford.
“the word 'person,' as used in the [Constitution], does not include the unborn.”
– Roe v. Wade.
So what say you Christian brethren?
