Obama promises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">In the<br \/>\nJuly 17 speech, Obama attacked the Supreme Court decision that upheld<br \/>\nthe federal partial-birth abortion ban and the nomination of Supreme<br \/>\nCourt justices who favor overturning Roe v. Wade. In the speech the<br \/>\nsenator said, &#8220;There will always be people, many of goodwill, who do<br \/>\nnot share my view on the issue of choice. On this fundamental issue, I<br \/>\nwill not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Yes Partial Birth Abortion is so hopeful<br \/>\nand a Democrat supporting it is such a change!<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\"><img\nstyle=\"width: 300px; height: 230px;\"\nalt=\"Partial Birth Abortion\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/partialbirthabortion.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Can we vacuum out the brains of a child<br \/>\njust<br \/>\nprior to being born? Yes we can!<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">The senator said he had a long<br \/>\ntradition<br \/>\nof support for legalized abortion, citing his efforts in the Illinois<br \/>\nState Senate and his classes as a law professor. I have worked on<br \/>\nthese issues for decades now, he said. I put Roe at the center of my<br \/>\nlesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional Law.<br \/>\nNot simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle<br \/>\nfor womens equality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Yes abortion in all of its glory is just<br \/>\nso hopeful &nbsp; Keeping abortion on demand as the law of the land<br \/>\nis all about change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">And of course those evil pro-lifers who<br \/>\nwant &nbsp;to destroy reproductive freedom and to remove that<br \/>\nConstitutional right to abortion are not about hope or change at all.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Those pregnancy centers which offer help to women who find<br \/>\nthemselves in a difficult circumstance are not about hope at all.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Providing help and support to the mother and actually helping<br \/>\na child to be born is just not hopeful. &nbsp;Supporting Planned<br \/>\nParenthood and others kill the child and not give a damn what happens<br \/>\nto the mother after pays her fee and she leaves the abortion clinic is<br \/>\nall about hope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">But wait there is more hope!<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">RUSSERT: Senator Obama, any statements<br \/>\nor vote you&#8217;d like to takeback?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Well, you know, when I first arrived in the Senate that first<br \/>\nyear, we had a situation surrounding Terri Schiavo. And I remember how<br \/>\nwe adjourned with a unanimous agreement that eventually allowed<br \/>\nCongress to interject itself into that decision making process of the<br \/>\nfamilies. It wasn&#8217;t something I was comfortable with, but it was not<br \/>\nsomething that I stood on the floor and stopped. And I think that was a<br \/>\nmistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a<br \/>\nmistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better. And so<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s an example I think of where inaction&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy to<br \/>\nthink of all of Sen. Obama&#8217;s hopefulness towards Terri Schiavo.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Can&#8217;t you feel the love! &nbsp;Jesus wept at Lazarus&#8217;<br \/>\ntomb and Obama regrets not doing more to help someone die sooner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Just too bad that Sen. Obama could not<br \/>\nhave been involved and offered the same type of hope for now <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.wesleyjsmith.com\/blog\/2008\/02\/haleigh-poutre-talking.html\"\ntarget=\"_blank\">14 year old Haleigh Poutre<\/a> who was<br \/>\non the verge of being dehydrated to death by court order and is now<br \/>\ntalking. &nbsp;Let us not have such travesties of patients defying<br \/>\ntheir diagnosis in the future and let us share some Terri Schiavo style<br \/>\nObama hope for people with cognitive difficulties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Abortion, euthanasia, cloning and killing,<br \/>\nand using embryonic human beings for research are all about hope!<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Catholic Answers Action lists five<br \/>\nnon-negotiables as abortion, euthanasia, ESCR, human cloning, and<br \/>\nhomosexual marriage. Wow he gets a perfect five of five and certainly<br \/>\nhe will be non-negotiable on these issues. &nbsp;And what about his<br \/>\nhopeful support of <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.catholic.org\/national\/national_story.php?id=26868\"\ntarget=\"_blank\">infanticide<\/a>?
