A reading error on MY part. I thought you were referring to Bradshaw's opinion's (the guy I quoted), when in fact you were referencing Obama's position. You are quite correct--Obama is pro-abortion. I'm not moralistic at all about the F word, couldn't care less, but the BNN editors do warn the writers not to use it. Thanks for reading, and for your posts. I have a true respect for informed disagreements with my opinions, and you clearly are informed. --Mark Mercer Thanks, John. A reading error on MY part.

I just feel so strongly about it and the truth is Mr. Obama is indeed pro-abortion. It is public record and anyone can look it up. Sorry Mark about the F word, won’t happen again.

He does NOT favor abortion; he is fact opposed to it. You seem to like the F word, a lot, which is not allowed on this site. Steven--You missed the whole point of the article, which is that saving lives can be done in more ways than just stopping abortions. Your arguments, otherwise, are at least well reasoned.

I’m voting for never returning to a time when desperate women turn to back alley abortions rather than their families, their faith community, and their health care provider. In other words, he wants is to issue more condoms to kids so they can fuck more without getting pregnant but he only said it in a nicer way. What if the girl gets pregnant anyway? He skips the issue, because HE FAVORS ABORTION! That's PRO-LIFE to you? That's not pro life that's pro-fuck!

Am delighted to hear a young person express what I know and feel. We have to think of others. This country is made up of all creeds, not just one. If we want our freedom to continue we must leave it open not closed because of narrow and ignorant thinking. We are "the land of the free" Wow. So well said.
