Keep in mind when you look at that picture:
1. Obama's promise to sign the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act." That bill would effectively strike down all limits on abortion.
2. Obama's opposition to banning partial birth abortion.
3. Obama's repeated and longstanding opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
4. Obama considers the being in the picture to be, in certain circumstances, a form of "punishment."
So remember. In Barack Obama's world, the unborn baby in the picture could be chopped up and then suctioned from his or her mother's body. Or the baby could be partly delivered, and then have a hole pierced in the base of his or her skull, so that his or her brains could be sucked out and its skull collapsed. Or the baby could actually be born alive despite an abortionist's best effort -- and then left alone in a utility room to die.
Those are ugly, harsh, shocking words. But the truth about Barack Obama's abortion record and positions is harsh and ugly -- and yes, shocking.
Who wants to live in a country where a holocaust can be wreaked on innocent, unborn babies? It's not surprising that the Cathlic Church is trying to make clear the stakes involved in this election.
What genuinely is not clear to me is how anyone -- of any faith or of none -- could support a candidate who is willing to countenance such treatment of the unborn.
