LifeNews.com Column on Barack Obama

My LifeNews.com column posted today.

Here is a portion of it:

As a lawyer who taught Constitutional Law, it’s disingenuous for Mr. Obama to say that we should pass laws that “prohibit” abortion only if there is an “exception for the mother’s health.” He knows that such laws would not prevent a single abortion because of the Court’s definition of health.

But Mr. Obama wants Evangelical Christians to believe he’s not pro-abortion and he wants our votes.

Well, as one of those Evangelical Christians Mr. Obama is trying to court, I say phooey.

Really, does he think we are idiots or uneducated dolts?

Mr. Obama please don’t insult us. We know when someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. We are very much aware of the scope of Roe v. Wade and its companion ruling, Doe v. Bolton. We’ve been working in the trenches for years now with our Catholic brothers and sisters trying to change the law to protect unborn children. If we voted for you, we would be rolling back the clock on everything the pro-life movement has accomplished.

So our answer is no. Thank you for your time but we’re not interested.
