The Audacity of Death
Barack Obama, meet Gianna Jessen.
(Page 2 of 2)
All this explains why the National Abortion Rights Action League voted unanimously to endorse Obama over Hillary Clinton, as did abortion activist Frances Kissling, who called Hillary “not radical enough on abortion.”
It’s surprising that 18 to 30 year olds, the most pro-life demographic in a generation, is the same voting bloc from which Barack Obama, the most anti-life presidential candidate ever, draws his most ardent supporters.
What’s not surprising is that Gianna Jessen, who turned 31 last month, plans not to support Obama.
In The Audacity of Hope, Obama denounces abortion absolutism on both ends of the ideological spectrum. That is audacious indeed considering Obama’s record, which epitomizes the very radicalism and extremism he denounces.
