The Promise and Peril for Obama in Rising Antiabortion Sentiment

Reader Comments

Back to blog

A friend of mine said that Obama has made it legal to get third trimester abortions. I can't find anything on the internet that says he has changed the countries laws to anything different than when Bush was in office. Does anyone know of a specific law that Obama has changed to make third trimester abortions legal?

Abortion is destruction of human life.

- Abortion destroys 3200 unborn babies a day in America.

- Abortion destroys 1.2 Million unborn babies a year in America.

- Abortion has destroyed more than 45 Million unborn babies in 36 years in America.

Abortion is destruction of human life: wholesale and mass destruction of human life.

--------------------

Abortion in America has killed more human life than Hitler and at a more rapid rate than Hitler killed. What Hitler did was a holocaust. Abortion is a holocaust.

--------------------

To have a Choice:

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

Source: http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html

We should encourage responsibility. 93% of the time the mother and father made a choice to take a risk that might turn out to be inconvenient or a social reason. They need to be responsible for the life they started. We are not animals and we can make decisions (choice).

It's all about stepping up to the resposibility of the choice that was made 93% of the time.

93% of the time this can not be justified as a medical reason:

- 3200 Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices

- 1.2 Million Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices

- More than 45 Million Unborn American Babies slaughtered in 36 years

We need to do more for the 7%. We need to work hard to protect the mother and the child during this 7%.

The unborn baby does not have a choice if abortion is the choice.

Make Responsible Choices.

When you make a decision to have sex then be responsible.

Be Responsible.

Love Life.

Respect Life

Protect Life.

Love the Mother and the Child.

No one should kill you.

You should kill no one.

Love does not destroy.

Respect for all Human Life.

Love the Mother and the Child.

We should not Kill.

We should Love one another.

We should Care for one another.

Using the logic from the post below:

"Better to end an unwanted conception as soon as possible, than make the resentful mother go full-term & the baby winds up in the hospital, abused by mom or the angry dad."

That logic is like saying we should pay murderers so that they won't murder. It is also like saying that we should allow them to murder someone so that they will not attempt to do it later.

I don't believe anyone agrees with this logic to allow them to murder someone early so they will not be murdered or abuse later.

Murder or abuse of a Human Being should not be allowed.

Abortion is Slaughter and it is Wrong:

Killing 3200 babies a day and 1.2 Million babies a year in America is wrong.

Abortion is Not Health CARE.

Abortion is Not LOVE or CARE.

Abortion is not a solution.

Love Education is a solution.

Responsibility is a solution.

Love Life before Life Style is a solution.

Adoption is a solution.

Love the Mother and Child.

Love Life

The latest Crash increased the number of people who have to worry about tax cost of welfare, ADC, food stamps & subsidized housing. Now, with many forced to take lower pay jobs, they complain about being forced to support poor unwed moms. They can't afford to feel sorry for poor BIG religious families-- who refuse to use contraception or abortion, for fear of "going to Hell." When kids from poor families don't go to college & be trained for high-pay jobs, many of them wind up on welfare. There are too many CONSUMERS, so the new environmentalist movement also supports tax-paid abortion. Better to end an unwanted conception as soon as possible, than make the resentful mother go full-term & the baby winds up in the hospital, abused by mom or the angry dad. As a public health issue, it takes taxes to care for women who were crippled by childbearing. Some women are too old or young to safely be mothers. Bone disease, kidney disease, heart disease and many more are in gynecology texts. Prolifers say abortion is murder,but I blame them for murdering women who die in botched illegal abortions.

The Truth is that we all know that Abortion is not health care. It is a slaughter of 3200 unborn babies a DAY, 96,000 a MONTH, 1.2 Million a year, and more than 45 Million in 36 years in America.

This is a slaughter of the least of our people (poorest, weakest, most dependant, and least of our people).

Say NO to the slaughter. Love the Mother and Child.

Respect Life. Protect Life. Protect Love. Love Life.

God Bless All of You who are Fighting the Good Fight.

Romans 12:21 - Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.

LOVE!

Seek, Speak, Share, and Defend the Truth.

LOVE LIFE.

The world is a good place filled with many loving people who want to cause no harm to others. There is also hate in the world that can not be ignored. Seeking the truth sometimes turns up many things that shake a person but the truth should be shared (love or hate). The historic records many dictators that used hate and fear to harm Human Life. That hate needed to be exposed. As soon as the hate was exposed to the truth, the world stopped the hate. When hate is exposed (telling truth even when it is ugly), people will stand up for what is right. When hate is hidden then it will grow.

Expose hate to the Light of truth.

Hate can not exist in the Light of Truth.

Love overcomes hate and history proves it.

Love All Life Equally.

ComPassion of IN 10:21PM October 11, 2009

Don't Hate.

Love:

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

Love does not envy.

Love does not boast.

Love is not proud.

Love is not rude.

Love is not self-seeking.

Love is not easily angered.

Love keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil.

Love rejoices with the Truth.

Love always protects.

Love always trusts.

Love always hopes.

Love always perseveres.

Love never fails.

John says Jesus created everybody & they were in the image of Jesus. But Genesis says God created everything & everybody in the image of God. Here is paradox, because God's introduced in Scripture as an invisible, immaterial entity without a body. Yet the Bible mentions "the face of God, the right hand of God & feet he puts on his foot-stool, the earth." Try to imagine God, far away, stretching out his legs to reach Earth. Church art shows God as a bearded old man. If Jesus had not "died on the Cross," maybe he'd look like God after all these years. John says all humans are Jesus' precious children. What about conceptions started by rapists, incestors and men who impregnate whores? Every Ban-Abortion homophobic comment turns into an evangelical sermon, trying to con people into becoming believers who will hand 10% of their lifetime assets to a church. If a person pays 40 years on a yearly wage of $40,000, that's $160,000. If a conception is aborted, it's worth zero to a church.Gays are attacked because they're not likely to have big families of tithers unless they adopt waifs from religious women who didn't abort & gave them away like kittens.

Nobody has a right to preach sermons that forthrightly tell listeners it's a favor to God to kill abortionists because "abortion is "1. Murder. 2 A Holocaust 3. A sin. 4. An abomination to God," and all the lies fanatics put on Ban-Abortion websites, posters, ads, radio, etc. Check to see if it's a crime to suggest murdering the president. I'm related to Founder James Wilson. He was a close friend of Benjamin Franklin & one the men who cooperated to compose our founding documents. "Religious freedom" doesn't make believers a favored group whose members can arouse feeble-minded fanatics to take human life. Maybe Minbrin had personal catastrophes that color all reactions, but it's egotistical to imagine everyone with a different point of view is afflicted with the same personality disorder. Topic here is Obama's difficuties with the Ban=Abortion lobby. Minbrin goes off topic to make personal remarks about people who participate in useful debate. I didn't take time to comment, to have an amateur psychologist prove how easy it is to waste inches on an important comment site. The Hate Crime Bill seems sure to become law. Let's see how many preachers dare continue to preach murder of abortionists.
