Tiffany,
Haven't you heard? The religious right doesn't want you and I to have Plan B. That's abortion in their eyes. You need to keep up more. Heck, they've even tried to make it so Pharmacists aren't required to dispense medication that goes against their religious beliefs (ie. morning after pill, because it's abortion in their eyes).
If the religious right really gave a rat's butt about life, they'd stop wailing about sex ed & birth control. But they only want to gripe about life once it's too late and there's a pregnancy. Then they're all over it. Once the baby's born though? Ohhh, it's "socialism" for anyone to care for it (other than the mother who knew she couldn't afford it in the first place).
Unbelievable.

Obama is extremely sick if he can't stand up for helpless babies dying on a cold steel table. Obama is a clear socialist/marxist. America is hurting and are clearly leaning to socialism as a cure, just as eastern europe did fifty years ago. It's very sad to see.

how arrogant women that support abortion are. They feel they are the ONLY ones who can make the decision on the value of human life.
yes it is your 'right' to kill an unborn human being (they are always human beings...they never come out as dogs, cats, etc..always a person..). That doesn't mean that I, as a man, and other men, cannot protest because we believe in the sanctity of human life.
Funny thing...the man has NO SAY as to whether a child is carried full term. But if the child is born, he has no say as to whether or not he wants a choice in the matter.
truth is it takes two to tango and the decision should not be one person's alone.

If not, it's just a matter of time before family planning is eradicated and prayer is mandated in school. History repeats itself. In times of trouble, societies band together under an umbrella of religion. I don't want to live in Nazi Germany. Be aware that the same people that claim to "fight for freedom" and preserve our way of life are the first ones to impose thier beliefs on others. If I need an abortion I will get one and it is not any of your business. Agaisnt abortion? Don't get one.

Maybe women should quit making excuses for murdering innocent babies and explore using birth control!! Geez...wake up it is not your choice or if it is fine outlaw abortion and all you murderers can do it yourselves with a coat hanger like they used to and if you get infection and die too bad then you'll just be getting the same as you gave your baby..a precious gift from god..so your body your choice I think not.

I'm so tired of everyone's "rights." We all have rights(and responsibilities) and they are as human beings. Abortion is not the hottest topic in this election. It doesn't need to be, it is a personal choice, not the world's. What happened to separation of church and state. Opinions only seem to matter if they are your own. Most of you on here should know...no-one cares what you have to say, or your ideas, because they have their own. It's a free country to think for ourselves. Let's just try to see if that will ever happen..Good luck w/ either candidate. I'm not voting!

Killing the most innocent and helpless of our society doesn't compare to the price of gas as many of the liberal writers tried to divert to. I have never understood why liberals are so excited about killing innocent humans. At the same time many liberals are against the death penalty for convicted murders. Many will resort to great lengths to protect the life of animals. But when it comes to innocent humans it another story. Most of the animals of the animal kingdom have one thing in common: the mother will protect her young (with her our life in some cases). Not so with liberals. There is something very evil about this.

Meanwhile, recent polls show that abortion is not the most important issue for voters. It ranks consistently behind the economy, the war in Iraq, national security and taxes. In some polls, energy/gas prices and health care rank higher as well.

To be fair, if you can swallow the twisted logic necessary to think that Obama supports aborting babies, then you must also call McCain a baby killer for his blindly homicidal work during the Vietnam war...you know when he bombed innocents to death and voluntarily did propaganda videos for the enemy.

Those of you who scream "baby killers" are the same who scream "I know best for where my money is spent, don't tax me"! So if you can decide for yourself where to spend the money, what makes you the one who decides what a person is to do when it comes to abortion? You certainly do not want to pay for the social services to take care of it. Oh but you are conservative...Having a teenage daughter who is knocked up is conservative? (Palin) & then you have the death penalty. It is inhumane to punish someone to death? Oh but it is OK to kill your own baby...I see. Dems, Rep it does not matter. You are all hypocrite's. Try being accountable to yourself & family & keep your nose out of others business. That goes for the need to be the worlds police too.

The biggest enduring problem with that decision was the Supreme Court's failure to base it also upon the First Amendment Establisment Clause. They though that the country was not ready for that in 1972, but one can hope that maybe now it finally is?

Also being a christian I would like you to show me where in the bible it says it is your right to take a human life?? Defend it all you want but once you have sex you should suffer the consequences of your action especially when there are options like birth control, the morning after pill, so quit saying your rights are above the babies.

Pregnancy and childbirth can be a life threatening experience, the choice to have an abortion - a safe and legal medical procedure to insure the mother's health takes precidence over any developing embreo or fetus. I'm sick of the righteous bullying tone of those who claim to be pro life. Open your home to become a foster parent for living children if you love these unwanted babies so much - help them grow into decent human beings. Show your love to the real children, and stop hating me for my right to choice. I have never regretted the abortion I had and almost every woman I know has been through one at some point for some reason - we are not murderers, we are not victims. How dare you call us such and try to take our right to our lives' away. You bet I'm voting for Obama!

As a short-term fix, the digital dollar sign on the billboard-style clock near Times Square has been switched to a figure — the "1" in $10 trillion. It's marking the federal government's current debt at about $10.2 trillion.
The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits.
That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.
The late Manhattan real estate developer Seymour Durst put the sign up in 1989 to call attention to what was then a $2.7 trillion debt.
They are adding another didget just in case McCain and Palin win

I will be the one laughing when all of you are scrued with taxed gas and food prices. Not to mention more of our troops getting killed fighting a war that is not ours.
And for your info I am actually very against abortion except medical reasons rape and insest. And in most cases can be avoided with birthcontrol or the plan B pill in cases of rape.I just dont think abortion is very inportant in this election since our entire country is going down the toilet. I want to have a little hope for my children to have a great place to live.
Another thing I dont know any spanish I just dont like the sub-freezing temps of canada.
One more thing: Most of the republicans that are voting republican let go of it go ITS TIME FOR CHANGE BABY

Obama trivializes abortion by his attempt to find consensus social issues on which to base his campaign.
He has a long record that neglects protecting pre-born children.
1452 black babies lose their lives to abortion every day in America. Unbelievably, Obama continues to refuse to address the disproportionate killing of African American babies in their mother's womb.
Obama even supports the killing of born and partially born children.

Could someone pro-life please explain what exactly they believe our government should do to end abortion? Who is convicted of murder if abortion is illegal: The mother? The doctor? The guy who got her pregnant? The person who drove her to the clinic? The person who pays for the abortion?
Most opposed to abortion believe there should be exceptions–rape, incest, life of the mother in danger, so if you allow for exceptions, then you believe at some point and in some circumstances, it’s okay to murder that baby.
The legal system doesn’t simply convict people of murder. There are a thousand shades of grey, which is why we have jury trials and enormous law books filled with all the various ways a person can kill someone without it being “murder.” If the circumstances matter once a child is out of the womb, why don’t they matter when he or she is in the womb?

should not be an issue discussed by our politicians. It’s a personal choice.
How can anyone judge a person if they haven’t walked in their shoes?
Plus if you want to help children, there are sooooo many kids in foster care that need adopting.

It was on the Internet, so it must be true.

150 years ago, the Dmocratic party was the party that pormoted the right to choose SLAVERY.
Now, they are the party that promotes the right to choose ABORTION
Barack Obama is the Presidential candidate for the party.
IT IS IRONIC.
If slave owners had treated their victims the same way that ABORTIONISTS treat theirs, would BARACK OBAMA even be considered a viable candidate? OR would he be nothing more than an oddity?

This was NOT an article about being for or against abortion, though The World titled it to appear so. This letter is about Obama's lack of decency and humanity to address the ongoing lack of treatment, and resulting suffering, that an aborted baby who is born alive endures.
He is the only one that I know of who voted AGAINST both: 1) legislation against this inhumane treatment and 2)legislation that would have helped provide support for the child.
It's plain and simple - lack of compassion in any sense of the word, lack of decency, and no value for human life whatsoever.

No where, in the archives nor anywhere else on this Earth does that quote turn up for Obama.
(but I did learn that the language was changed in the final version that was sent to the Senate Floor, thus proving what Obama said as true)

This is a rather thin issue and one that has been sorted out, the votes you mention...the talking point was he didnt bother voting. Now you say he did vote and it meant "no".
Gosh, good luck to you and all but you need to get out more.

comment to the editor wrote on Oct 6, 2008 1:39 PM:
I have to wonder, when reading letter to the editor, where the editor comes up with the headings. This letter is just one example.
The heading implies that Obama thinks that people should abort babies. That is very different than saying that abortion should remain available.
I am requesting that the editor closely consider what words are used. Or maybe he/she does and is trying to influence the debate one way or the other. Is that right?
