During the forum held at Rick Warren's church where John McCain and Barack Obama separately answered a series of questions by the popular pastor, Obama aborted the question on abortion stating that he is unqualified to make a decision on when human life begins:
Answering Warren’s question of when a baby is entitled to human rights, Obama said, “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 said he was pro-choice. When pressed to say whether he’d ever voted to limit abortions, Obama slipped and slid around the question, claiming he was in favor of limits on late-term abortions, but cited no example of ever voting for legislation to create such limits. McCain said plainly that he believed that life beings at conception and that, “I will be a pro-life president and this presidency will have pro life policies. That's my commitment, that's my commitment to you.”
An even more disturbing answer from Barack Obama than I expected. What other serious questions are above his pay grade? Murder? Robbery? Adultery? Lying? Is there nothing that is not inherently lowered to a position of moral relativism with this man? For crying out loud, you don't even have to have the right answer to the question of when life begins to be able to make a decision for yourself!
It's obvious Obama was either being dishonest with his answer or is unfit to bus Clarence Thomas' dinner table, much less decide whether or not Thomas is fit to be on the Supreme Court. He aboslutely has a position on the issue, regardless of his incriminating voting record. Generally, along the way in some fashion, Barack Obama has a basic answer for himself on the question of when life begins. It could be at conception, immediately after the child is out of the womb, an hour after the child is out of the womb, six months into the pregnancy; somewhere along the way he believes a child is a human being and is endowed with the right to live. To say that such a fundamental question is "above my pay grade" is at the least moronic and at worst an outright lie. His nothing answer is almost retarded or brain damaged in nature if he was telling the truth.
Pro-abortion supporters across the country can give you some sort of answer to the question of when life begins. A great many of them will tell you the child turns into a human life after it is out of the womb. Even partial-birth abortion supporters will tell you that a child is a human life at some point fairly soon after it is completely and totally born and the umbilical chord has been cut. This is not a terribly difficult concept, and is nowhere near above Obama's pay grade... whatever that may be.
It can for some be a difficult decision (though I will never quite understand why) on whether or not to be pro-abortion or pro-life, but to state that you have no position on when life begins is to say you have no position on abortion at all. We all know provably and indisputably that Barack Obama does indeed have a stated position on abortion. He himself admits he is an abortionist, and proudly so. If you support abortion then you believe, somewhere along the way before the child has left the womb, that it is not a human with a right to life. So Obama should have at least answered, being an abortionist who says he is against late-term abortions, that he knows human life begins at some point in the later days of a pregnancy.
I don't even believe there is a right to commit abortion and I can come up with that much!
This all becomes especially incomprehensible when you understand, just for the sake of the question posed, that it doesn't matter which side he supports on the abortion issue. Whether Obama is for them or against them he still must have a position on when human life begins or he cannot in any way have positions on abortion and late-term abortion.
There is one other possibility. Barack Obama may in fact not care at all about abortion or when human life begins. If that is the case, then a lot of this lunacy starts to make some sense. If you know an issue is important to a lot of voters, but you yourself couldn't care less, then you must either lie repeatedly or give answers which reflect no real position at various times throughout your campaign.
Are we dealing with a completely empty mind in Barack Obama? Does he have any beliefs that are his own and not simply a list of non-talking points? This man has spent so much of his life never taking a position on anything, ever, that he is now unable to answer even the most basic of questions. Not only that, he is unable to answer a question about his position on an issue when he actually has a repeatedly stated position.
His answer to the question of when human life begins is why Obama was unable to answer Rick Warren's question on how to deal with evil. The New Messiah could not answer that one either. His only answer to the question of how to deal with evil was to warn against accidently doing evil in the name of good while trying to fight evil.
Barack Obama's performance in this forum was an utter failure not only as a politician, but as a man and an American. Every answer he gave was a description of a person who is totally indecisive and uncomfortable with himself and his own beliefs... if he has any beliefs that is. I'm not sure he does.
