    on obama's cowardice

    Last night, Obama proved that he is an utter coward when he sidestepped the question on abortion. When asked when human rights should begin for an unborn person, he merely claimed that we should cut down on unwanted children.

    In fact, his voting record, and his A+ rating with Planned Parenthood, Emily's list, and NARAL prove that he has no regard whatever for the innocent children that want only to be born and cared for and loved. His shrill vitriol advocates total access to abortion at all stages.

    Think about it: he defends even so called "partial birth abortion" which involves puncturing the head of a child so its brains can be sucked out.

    Murder looks like murder, doesn't it? And he assents to it.
