There is No Way You Can Vote for Him 

Offense alert.  Don't read this unless you're willing to be offended.

The him is Barack Obama.  The why is his attitude toward babies.

I could give you numerous reasons why I think he would make a bad president.  Worse than McCain, who himself is no gem.  However, that is not the issue here.  I may post some on that later.

I know a number of people, Orthodox, as well as others who consider themselves Christian who will vote for Obama.  I think a lot of what drives them, beyond the war in Iraq, which  Obama is shifting on (reality will do that to you), is a general liberal tendency.  Its all well intentioned.  They think that Obama will do more for the poor and otherwise disadvantaged.  Laudable goals.  For the moment, let's assume that he will do more to help the poor than McCain.  If you voted for McCain in spite of that, you could compensate, in part, by giving more to charity, and convincing your friends to do more.  That is, you could take care of the poor yourself.

Let's look at abortion, on the other hand.  If you vote for someone who will do everything in their power to ensure that 1.2 million babies are aborted each year, what could you possibly do to stop that?  Would you go and physically stop those 1.2 million women?  I think not.

That has been my opinion all along.  Its not making the campaign a one issue campaign, but rather realizing there is nothing you can do to protect the life (the first of the three rights stated in the Declaration of Independence) of the unborn if you elect a strong pro-abortion President.

What is particularly disconcerting about Obama, goes beyond simply his pro-abortion stance.  Its his incredibly cavalier attitude toward babies.  The following is a quote from some discussion in the Illinois senate about a bill to protect the life of babies who were born alive as the result of an abortion attempt:

"As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child - however way you want to describe it - is now outside the mother's womb and the doctor continues to think that it's nonviable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved."

I'm left virtually speechless.  His view of babies is clear.  Elsewhere in the proceedings, you are left with the distinct impression that he is willing to do anything as long as a woman's ability to choose to kill her baby is left intact.  If this doesn't chill your blood, you should be worried.
