Truth be told, I don't particularly like either one of the two probable presidential candidates. But in light of the conventions coming up, I thought I would put my two cents in regarding Barack Obama. I could not put my mark next to his name for several reasons, this being only one of them.
I value life. Senator Obama has said that, if elected president, the FIRST thing he would do is sign the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" – a bill that would make partial-birth abortion legal again, require taxpayer funding of abortion and nullify virtually all federal and state limitations on abortion, such as parental notification laws.
He was also the only senator to speak against the "Born Alive Act" during floor debates, which guarantees the right to person-hood to any infant born alive. Even the liberal Barbara Boxer of California (100% NARAL rating) voted for this one!
Most importantly, it is very disturbing that he thinks the number one issue in this country, the FIRST to be addressed, is to make abortions easier and to make taxpayers foot the bill. I have a huge problem with that.
Of the two so-called "winnable" candidates, at least John McCain values life, and opposes abortion.
