Certain Rights...

LIFE, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness

Above are the three God-given rights of American citizens which are specifically named in the Declaration of Independence. All are important to us as Americans, but there is a reason that 'life' was listed first. It is the most important of our rights - for without it, what are the others?

Here is the excerpt:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ...

Our founding fathers understood that government was an institution that was designed to protect the nation and the rights of its individual citizens. They understood that most important was their role to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. I'm sure that by now it's evident that I'm going to be talking about abortion in this Blog... If you're an abortion supporter, please don't just stop here. Read on because there's more here than only that one thing...but that's where we'll start.

I am strongly pro-life. Having said that, I also have to say that I'm not a person who hates or would denigrate any woman who's found herself in an unwanted situation and then had an abortion. That is definitely not the purpose of this Blog. This is about the election and the extremely radical positions of Barack Obama. I am convinced that even many people who do support abortion would not be comfortable with his record on this area...it's so extreme that I don't hesitate in calling it evil.

To understand why I say that, there are some things relating to abortion that people first need to realize...meaning: really stop & think about.

• God-given rights of Americans includes LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Supreme Court is unconstitutionally stripping that right away from the most vulnerable of us.
• Medical evidence continues to mount in support of the humanity of the unborn baby. Better ultra sounds also show this. At 6 weeks gestation, most women don't even know they're pregnant, yet the baby has eyes, lungs, GI tract and heart clearly visible.
• In many states a minor who couldn't walk into a hospital and be treated for a cold without parental approval can walk in & get an abortion on demand.
• A husband has lost his right to help determine child's life or death under the current system.
• There are dramatic increases in our ability to treat medical issues before babies are even born such as surgery done before birth.
• Aborted fetuses are trafficked for research, etc...
• Abortions are still dangerous to the mother, both physically and psychologically. Regardless of the PR, this is documented.
• 1.5 million per year are killed by abortion. That's averages out to just over 4,000 per day and/or one child aborted every 20 seconds.
• Abortion techniques are extremely painful; methods include babies being burned with poisoned salts or dismembered alive.
• ONLY 1/2 of 1% of abortions are for hardship cases (rape, incest, danger to the mother's life).
• Judeo - Christian beliefs consider ALL life sacred.
• God Hates Abortion. Evidence of this is throughout the Bible.

Barack Hussein Obama, the Pro-Abortion Candidate...

Now, regarding Obama's stand where abortion is concerned.... And make no mistake he DOES take a Stand. This is a man with whom it's usually pretty hard to get a clear and definite picture of his position EXCEPT with Abortion. When speaking about abortion, he said "....On this fundamental issue, I Will Not Bend." And Here, ---He Doesn't.

• At least twice he's clearly stated that as President, he would ONLY allow Pro-Abortion Justices to be appointed to the Supreme Court.
• He is in league with Planned Parenthood, in spite of it's racist practice of concentrating clinics in areas that are overwhelmingly African -American and actually accepting donations from those showing them-self as racists.
• In defense of supporting late-term abortions, his justification is based on falsehoods. At this point, it becomes less of a burden on a woman to give birth than to go through an abortion procedure...in other words, health issues are moot by now. There is NEVER a 'save the life of the mother' situation where this type of abortion is concerned.
• As a state senator, he opposed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban in 1997.
• He voted 4 times against a bill that would protect the life of an infant born alive after a botched abortion. He's repeatedly lied about why. This was during his time in the state senate and the language he said must be there for him to support it WAS in the bill and he was on the committee that put it there. He was the ONLY IL Senator to speak against this bill.
• He has a record of voting for abortion and against alternatives.
• He's on record against a pro-life Democratic Bill that would offer assistance designed to encourage women to give birth.
• He opposed adding them in the S-CHIP program.
• He's opposed to any information being shared with women except counseling for abortion. On Record as opposing federal funding to any pro-life counseling centers.
• He has pledged that his first act as President would be to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act". Sounds like a good thing doesn't it? We Americans Value our Freedoms. If passed, this act will remove ANY & EVERY barrier to abortion on demand for everyone and this increase in abortions will be paid for with tax dollars. It will wipe out the Hyde Amendment which has limited abortion. It will wipe out the Bush law that stopped American tax dollars from promoting abortions abroad. It will wipe out parental notification laws. It will wipe out informed consent. It will wipe out any 'conscious protection' of medical professionals whose beliefs do not support the practice of aborting babies.

...Seems the only choice that BHO wants to give women in a crisis situation is: Abort the burden, the mistake, the problem . This is the description of someone who is NOT PRO-CHOICE....

HE'S PRO-ABORTION.

And one more thing relating to Obama's Pro-Abortion stand. This is something that many Americans may not have thought about yet.... The huge increase in the number of abortions that would be a direct result of electing Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States WOULD GUARANTEE THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM. The system has always been set up so that current workers deductions pay current retirees benefits. What happens in a few short years when a huge percentage of what would have been those workers is not alive because they were aborted? Yes, there surely has been mismanagement of the system as with all government ran things...but those things can be reversed to some degree... What I'm talking about here - can't!

An Article outlining > Obama's Abortion Extremism

Next Topic:
I also want to touch on an issue that I have some personal interest in: Stem Cell Research. This has been touted as the next miracle cure for many diseases that are running rampant. Here's my problem with the media coverage on this issue (and BHO's position as well). It seems to me (and others) that the only type of stem cell research that liberals and radicals want to talk about or even explore is embryonic stem cell research. When you ask yourself 'why?' there's only one answer possible...it is the method that destroys a life. There's nothing else to commend it to them. This is especially obvious when you know that... In TRUTH, ONLY Adult Stem Cell Research shows any promise or has made ANY advancement. The last I heard, seven diseases had already been treated through advances in ADULT Stem Cell Research.

Just a Little FYI:
Not exactly about our right to life...but more about it's quality for our families...

In a speech at some Planned Parenthood Event (I wonder if it was a fundraiser for him?), Obama jokingly referred to the news being released that he supported teaching sex education to Kindergarteners. He said, "...and which, um, I didn't know what to tell them." Then he chuckles somewhat nervously...and goes on, "bu-but it's the right thing to do."

Well, there you are... some more evidence that backs the opinion that BHO is a Radical Liberal who thinks he knows better than the majority of Americans ( & even God) what we should and shouldn't be doing in & with our lives - or teaching our own children. I realize that issues like abortion haven't been in the media coverage of this election...but they are still important issues anyway. PLEASE, think about the whole picture and get the truth before you vote.
