So i was reading an article about Barak Obama today on Christianity Today. I saw this quotes & found it interesting Obama would say this...
(RE: His vote for against the banning of partial birth-abortion)
I don't know anybody who is pro-abortion. I think it's very important to start with that premise. I think people recognize what a wrenching, difficult issue it is. I do think that those who diminish the moral elements of the decision aren't expressing the full reality of it. But what I believe is that women do not make these decisions casually, and that they struggle with it fervently with their pastors, with their spouses, with their doctors. Our goal should be to make abortion less common, that we should be discouraging unwanted pregnancies, that we should encourage adoption wherever possible. There is a range of ways that we can educate our young people about the sacredness of sex and we should not be promoting the sort of casual activities that end up resulting in so many unwanted pregnancies.
I personally know people who are Pro-Abortion. I guess Mr. Obama doesn't know a lot of people! Don't you think any person who has an abortion is "pro" abortion? Or what about the people who work at Planned Parenthood? Or the people who financially support it? I even saw an episode of Scrubs last night where they were talking about how it's right if your "not ready" for something like that.
I'm sad to hear him say that the people who are having abortions aren't taking this decision lightly? They are discussing it with their pastors, spouses and doctors? First of all, about 70% of abortions are for women who are NOT married. And 50% of women are under 25. (Click here for more). Further more, 43% of women have an abortion by the time they are 45! And 47% of those will have a 2nd or more after.
So why didn't he choose Palin and his running mate if he is so intent on promoting other things to prevent unwanted pregnancy?? Oh my... I'm not really sure why Obama believes making partial birth abortion will help STOP people from getting them? He's crazy....

Although it's not really clear what your stance on abortion is, or the political candidates for that matter, I first of all DO think Obama was right to say that abortion is not a decision that women take lightly. Also, he is right when he said that no person is actually pro-abortion. Nobody WANTS to kill their baby.
