Remember during the Presidential campaign in 2008, there was a question and answer session between Obama, McCain and Pastor Rick Warren. Obama went first and answered questions one on one with Warren and he was asked about abortion, “At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?”. I, like many, was shocked to hear this answer from Obama, “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”. I will never forget that quote for the rest of my life and immediately thought, he was toast. Surely the American people would not vote for a man who would come up with an answer like that. Well, here we are.
So it is not above his pay-grade to force all Americans to answer to the government on choices for their health care; to bow down to every leader he feels deserves it; to ridicule, dismiss and refer childishly to Republicans or any one that publicly opposes his policies; to turn NASA into a fourth rate space program that will now need to ask for and buy seats from the Russians to travel to low earth orbit and the International Space Station; to declare to the world that you can attack us with your biological and chemical weapons and we won’t retaliate with nuclear weapons; to ignore the threat of Iran and insist that “based on mutual interests and mutual respect” he can talk Ahmadinejad into giving up the nuclear bomb pursuit and if not, just use the ever effective sanctions; to completely destroy the relationship between the U.S. and Israel with utter disrespect to Prime Minister Netanyahu; to take over car companies and banks; and to constantly use class warfare to gain credibility for his tax hikes, increased government spending and intrusion in our lives.
We know why he answered the life question with that most ridiculous answer, because he didn’t want to show the American people who he really was and still is. Those that were informed knew that he walked hand in hand with the National Organization for Women, NARAL, Planned Parenthood and every other left leaning pro-choice group out there. You know the groups that support government run health-care that pays for abortions, yet at their abortion rallies they hold up signs that say “Keep your laws off my body” . Now that just makes so much sense doesn’t it?
If he said a baby gets human rights at conception, then abortion would be murder. If he said at birth, then the live babies that survived botched late term abortions left to die in hospital rooms would be murder and in Illinois, Obama voted to kill the bill that would have required medical facilities to provide care to babies in those circumstances. He also stated that if one of his daughters were to make a “mistake” he did not want her to be “punished” with a baby.
So this is how he views life. Can’t say when he thinks it begins, but he sure as heck knows that if a baby was a ”mistake” then a woman should be able to take care of the “problem”. What I find unbelievable about all this is he claimed while campaigning for the highest office of our nation that it was above his pay grade to answer when he thought life began, yet he was voted into an office where he can and will continue to change the lives of all the living in the United States.
I don’t think that when a life begins is all that important to Obama because the rights of a fetus, a baby, a 20 year old, a 45 year old or a 65 year old really don’t matter. The only thing that does matter to him is his ideology and getting it rammed through any way he can into every crevice of our lives. If life, the individual, the people, mattered to him or his friends in Congress, we would be listened to. We, the majority, who opposed the health care monstrosity would have been listened to. We, the majority, who think this country is headed in the wrong direction would be listened to.
This is why when he campaigns across the country for his policies, he cherry picks from them what he talks about to make them look good. This is why he has no problem saying one thing and doing another and in some respects, telling flat out lies. Just as he wouldn’t divulge when he thinks life begins, he won’t divulge anything that may hinder his agenda. Obama and his friends want to change how our country operates and they don’t care how it gets done. “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America”, those are Obama’s words before the election.
If one can’t understand what is precious about life, when it starts, and doesn’t understand the freedoms and liberties that a life needs to be successful, then they have no business being the leader of those of us living it. The self-involved, egotistical, elitists running our country right now want to transform it into a government run catastrophe because they believe they know what is best for you, the individual. They want tell you how to live, learn, eat and work. They want to slowly erode away your freedoms for their restrictions and rules. The only choice they want you to have is the option to abort a baby.
Wow! Moving did not hold you back one bit! Keep doing what you are doing.

As I heard a non-descript typical liberal say, “You’re either pro-choice or pro-no choice.”
How long, honestly, will the lie be preached that abortion is not such a bad thing? Have the liberal women of our Nation become so abused and jaded by their philosophies that they cannot even feel the maternal instincts God gave them?
I want to publicly thank my Mom for not killing me, and for giving me the chance to be who I am today. Thanks, Mom! You rock!
Excellent article, as always, Kelli!
They just don’t get it because they don’t want to. Great job!
I agree 100%. He has tricked the people with his candy coated lies. He doesn’t care about a baby’s life what makes anyone think he cares about their health. He doesn’t care about his family’s health or even his own, he refuses to quit smoking. It’s hard to quit? Give me a break! You’re the President, you’re supposed to be able to overcome things that are “hard”.
He has no regard for innocent human life. He’s a very weak & careless man, I’m shocked he’s the President.
