Pro-Life, Pro-Obama?

By W. James Antle, III on 1.28.09 @ 11:16AM

Robert George and company have launced an important new website called the Moral Accountability Project. Its mission is to contrast President Obama's actual record on life issues and marriage with the audacious hopes of the high-profile Catholics and evangelicals who supported him in the 2008 campaign.

NO Catholic and NO Evangelical could have voted in good conscience for Obama/Biden and then claim to be believers of their faith.
Obama's willingness to allow infants to be killed after they are born after botched abortions is barbarian.
That alone disqualifies Obama from any voter of any conscience - any moral center - much less Catholics and Evangelicals.
Obama said the first thing he will do as president is sign a bill that allows NO restrictions on abortions and that means, for all intent and purpose, killing babies and Obama has no qualms with that.
Obama has no moral and no ethical core - he is solipsistic and so falsely egotistical as to be a clear danger to any freedom loving nation. Killing babies is anathema to any civilized nation and any person who condones killing babies is the lowest of cowards.

The only choice for Catholics and Evangelicals was McCain/Palin and Catholics and Evangelicals and Ethical voters FAILED.
Basically, I don't believe that most people care anymore about the helpless, especially infants. They treat them as garbage, but want to dictate moral and ethical behavior on other issues... typical hypocritical Catholics especially. The are the weakest of so called religious peopel.
They reflect The Church, which does whatever it wants for what it wants - its position is a relative as liberal politics.

Since Obama won a majority of Catholics, ame, you've got a lot of Catholics to excommunicate. And I suppose allowing torture of suspects proves one's "moral core?
But I don't doubt the problem they face: Obama is flat out in support of abortion, and that's an issue for Catholics.
What I like, though, is how the OP slipped the word "marriage" in as well. Is there some conflict with being pro-life and being pro-gay marriage? Or being pro-gay rights in general?

I'd hardly compare waterboarding to partial birth abortion, the procedure by which an infant is dismembered and torn from its mother's womb. Seems that kind of torture doesn't bother your 'moral' core one bit.
