Much has been written and shared about Barack Obama and his very pro-abortion record.  In this space we provide two references for our readers to consider. 

Below is a video link to a CNN analysis of Barack Obama’s vote to deny life support to babies born alive during abortions.  It is chilling and revealing.  

Obama’s vote against Born Alive Infant Protection Act

Peggy Noonan, columnist for the Wall Street Journal, wrote an excellent piece on the mounting distinctions between John McCain and Barack Obama as the campaign moves toward the critical final two months. One segment related to Pastor Rick Warren’s question about when human life begins, to which Obama answered flippantly, that’s “above my pay grade.”

As to the question when human life begins, the answer to which is above Mr. Obama’s pay grade, oh, let’s go on a little tear. You know why they call it birth control? Because it’s meant to stop a birth from happening nine months later. We know when life begins. Everyone who ever bought a pack of condoms knows when life begins.

To put it another way, with conception something begins. What do you think it is? A car? A 1948 Buick?

Noonan recalls that America is still getting to know this young man from Chicago who hardly registered on anyone’s “Next President” meter as recently as six months ago.  When most American’s do look, Noonan says, this is what they see, “An attractive, intelligent man, interesting, but—he’s hard to categorize. Is he Gen. Obama? No, no military background. Brilliant Businessman Obama? No, he never worked in business. Famous Name Obama? No, it’s a new name, an unusual one. Longtime Southern Governor Obama? No. He’s a community organizer (what’s that?), then a lawyer (boo), then a state legislator (so what, so’s my cousin), then U.S. senator (less than four years!).”

Noonan uses her whit and razor sharp tongue (pen) to raise the questions that we hope voters will ask as well.  Who is Barack Obama?  And, what on earth makes him qualified to be President.
