Edwards Endorses Obama

In a not-so-surprising move, it is being reported that John Edwards is endorsing Barack Obama.

Edwards comes across as personable and folksy but he's just as pro-abortion as other leading Democrats. Don't be deceived-- Edwards wouldn't endorse Obama unless he agreed with him on core Democratic issues-- including abortion.

In 2003, John Edwards spoke before the NARAL Pro-Choice America Dinner that was held that January to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Edwards said:

It's an honor to be here. . .to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. . . .The right to choose is an essential ingredient to real equality in America. Until we recognize that fully, finally, without any equivocation, we can never reach the promise of America.

. . .

And so you have my word tonight that I will help lead a fight to pass a federal freedom of choice act so that your right to choose is guaranteed and protected no matter what the [U.S. Supreme] Court does.

Barack Obama's comments on abortion and the so-called right to choose match so closely with the words of John Edwards they could be interchangeable.

Beware, a vote for Barack Obama will roll back the work accomplished on the right to life. There is no way anything Barack Obama says can be construed as pro-life. If elected, I guarantee his first days in office would include executive orders overturning pro-life policies established under previous administrations.

Planned Parenthood and NARAL will likely walk into his office within the first month with a laundry list of legislative issues they want addressed.

And he will make those legislative goals part of his top priorities.
