Obama on abortion… duck and run
During his half of the forum with Rick Warren this past weekend, Obama was asked at what point “human rights” apply to a baby. Rather than taking the obviously hot button question to task, Obama took his usual path and evaded having a position.
His answer went like this:
…whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”
For the record, John McCain directly answered the question by stating that human rights begin at conception.
I’m not going to get into the overwhelming debate on abortion… I would have to say it’s one of THE topics that you just can’t argue on as NO ONE is willing to discuss it in a civil tone. The point was that these two candidates proclaimed that they were holding this forum to win over the “faith voters”.
Correct me if I’m wrong but taking a cop out answer about how the abortion debate is ABOVE your pay grade is NOT the prime way to win over the hearts of the “faith voters”.
…and they wonder why we see him as a smug, elitist egomaniac?
