Roman 2:15 – They show that what the law requires is written in their hearts, a fact to which their own consciences testify, and their thoughts will either accuse or excuse them.

While we can rationalize an excuse when we do not witness the results of our actions, when a child is trembling and with all the strength it has crying while it is barely able to breath; seeing this makes it harder to excuse; hearing the testimony of this as Obama has makes it harder to excuse.

The movie 22 weeks helps bring home the realities.

I have added a link to your post to a post I have that contains more information … Obama History on Abortion and Infanticide

We’ve killed so many civilians in Iraq. We don’t value their lives. These people are “side effects” of our retaliation for a few extremists taking American lives. The extremists did not value American lives.

We let babies born alive die. We don’t value their lives.

Over half of Americans are overweight/obese and a burden to our health care system – they don’t value their own lives enough to change and do something pursue happiness.

Unwanted children who are born are shuffled around and given up on – who values their lives?

I’ve ranted about the practically socialist system up here in Montreal, but I will say one thing – THEY value lives. So much that they take too much of my hard earned money to make sure deadbeat moms who don’t want to work can make sure their children (who did not CHOOSE) to be born, can LIVE, eat and have a life. So much that they tax me up the wazoo to give women one year maternity leave to care for babies – no worries about losing your job or being broke there.

So while I complain, I acknowledge that the value system here is different. They value lives. I think people here are crazy when they say we should be taxed more to help others. But you know what? They value lives.

Obama’s statement was cold and chilling, indeed. And for a man who is running around talking about Jesus Christ and courting the religious right, he sure must be doing some twisting to explain how he supports abortion AND believes in Jesus. The same Jesus who says “whatever you do unto the least, you do unto me”. Matthew 25:40

The right cannot pat themselves on the back, either. As I mentioned in another comment, how many pro-lifers are rushing to adopt unwanted babies and children? How many are willing to love these children as their own and make them feel wanted? How many are even willing to support programs to feed and provide for these children (regardless of their irresponsible and sometimes reprehensible parents)?
