There are many moral failures - such as unjust wars and a widening gap between the rich and poor - for which we will need to answer to future generations.
But no ethical failure is as great as a national policy of permitting lethal violence against a whole class of innocent human beings, the preborn. If you#'ve never examined the evidence of what abortion is and does, you can view pictures of aborted babies on web sites such as www.prolife.com.
In his article, “Obama#'s Abortion Extremism,” published this month in the journal Public Discourse, Princeton University Professor of Jurisprudence Robert P. George writes: “Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States.”
On July 17, 2007, Barack Obama told the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, “The first thing I will do as president is to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. On this fundamental issue, I will not yield.” If enacted, the Freedom of Choice Act would prohibit and retroactively nullify all federal and state-level restrictions on abortion, including parental notification requirements, informed consent laws, and bans on partial-birth abortion. There are many issues at stake in next Tuesday#'s election, but abortion is the most important because it is the most direct assault on human life. Obama believes an entire class of human beings has no rights. When John McCain was asked, “When is a baby entitled to human rights?” he answered, “At the moment of conception.”
