Obama Conflicted On When Human Life Begins

Posted on | June 27, 2008

When asked if he personally believed that life begins at conception, Obama said this:

This is something that I have not come to a firm resolution on. I think it’s very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when the soul stirs? So I don’t presume to know the answer to that question. What I know is that there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that that has a moral weight to it that we take into consideration when we’re having these debates.

It seems though that his ambivalence on this matter was unshaken by his having to take a position on the Induced Infant Liability Act, a bill brought before the Illinois Senate in 2002. The act would have protected the life of infants that had survived a late-term abortion and required the infants have the right to every effort to save them when they had survived the abortion.

The issue came to light on the efforts of nurses that had witnessed the abandonment of these tragic lives to neglect on the unlikely event of their survival because the parents already did not want them and the Doctors and Hospitals did not wish the financial burden of caring for them after their failure to end the life of the infant through abortion. In fact, as Chairman of Health & Human Services, Obama actively sought to delay the measure from reaching the floor.

So it seems that while he declares himself to have not decided when exactly life begins, his actions tell another story. He actively worked to stop a bill that granted protections to the the life of “unwanted” children so it would seem as if, at least for Obama, the only viable life is one that the mother decides not to “choose” to kill. This is the most heinous of all the positions one can have regarding when life begins. It is also unsupportable by any law and by the greater conscience of the American people.

If he is so cavalier about protecting the rights of the most innocent, most vulnerable ( a postion morally simple and uncomplicated on its face) he cannot be trusted to protect the well-being of the nation as it regards our interests in conflicts and Foreign Policy. He has no real moral compass, he will let evil pass for the sake of expediency as he did in this case. He has established this by listening to the rantings of a racist, hyper-political pastor for over 20 years and by his associations with an unrepentant domestic terrorist (William Ayers) and a now convicted Federal Prisoner (Tony Rezko). No, all of these associations have clearly pegged Obama as being ever the political pragmatist ever accommodating whatever moral turpitude for the furtherance of his career. Even more disturbing is the appearance of an unbending fealty to the far left agenda.
