Letters: Obama's abortion stance

ON JULY 17, 2007, at an event of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Barack Obama vowed to sign a radical pro-abortion law, saying, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act." This, in part, would invalidate the federal ban on partial-birth abortion.

ON JULY 17, 2007, at an event of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Barack Obama vowed to sign a radical pro-abortion law, saying, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act." This, in part, would invalidate the federal ban on partial-birth abortion.

Although Obama has only served in the Senate since 2005, he's been a consistent supporter of abortion. He blocked a bill that would have guaranteed that a baby born alive, regardless of stage of development or attempted abortion, be afforded full legal rights under the law.

How can killing a baby be justified under any circumstances? A man with a conscience would not use his presidential power to choose who can live and who must be killed. He will someday stand before his maker and be asked to explain why he supported a bill to kill so many of God's innocent babies.
