TRUTH!.....above Barak Obama's Pay Grade

Barak Obama has received much criticism for his answer to an abortion-related question at Rick Warren's recent Saddleback Civil Forum.

Warren asked, "At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?" Obama's stuttering response: "Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade."
Obama has some good company. The US Supreme Court said essentially the same thing in Roe v. Wade: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."

But, interestingly enough, both Obama and the Supreme Court, unable to answer the question, decide to behave with extreme prejudice rather than exercising a measure of caution and safety, both prefer to treat life as disposable.

Unfortunately. as with Barak Obama and the Supreme Court, there are sadly very few willing to speak for the unborn. I believe that matters of great concern to the voters should be addressed by those wishing to hold Americas highest office. The dismissive view presented by Mr. Obama in Saturday’s Forum is a slap in the face to the American voter.

If one is unable or unwilling to protect the most basic liberty of the most vulnerable among us, he will be ill suited to the task of defending our other liberties.
