Obama confused - Abortion is Killing of Innocents

One News Now (Link) - Charlie Butts (February 6, 2009)

President Obama revealed his stance on pro-life issues at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast. During his first prayer breakfast in Washington, President Obama discussed the peaceful coexistence of different religions. He denounced death-dealing terrorism and then made this statement: "There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being." (See earlier article)

Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League, recalls that Obama is the most pro-abortion president in America's history. "There's several times he's said things to that effect, that you cannot kill an innocent person, an innocent human being," he notes. "He just doesn't make the connection, obviously, that the unborn child is an innocent human being and that he supports that kind of killing."

Scheidler points to a disconnect in Obama's thinking, as well as in the minds of his colleagues. "[Only] if somehow we could get him and most of his staff and the following of Barack Obama to see that all abortion is the killing of an innocent human being," he laments. He adds that the difference should be obvious to the president when as many as 300,000 people participated in the annual March for Life in Washington, DC, just two days after his inauguration.

This is the problem, I believe, with the abortion debate. First off, let me state unequivocally that I am staunchly pro-life. I think that there is a problem in trying to carry on this debate about abortion when it seems to boil down to us saying "Its wrong" and them saying "No, its not". I think we need to be more directly addressing the issue of when life begins. I think most sane people will agree that killing an innocent person or taking the life of an innocent person is wrong. What is at issue is the belief as to when life begins and that is what I hear so little about in the debate. I don't hear many Christians focusing on it and neither do I hear many of the liberal pro-choicers focusing on it. Certainly, there are many Christians and other pro-lifers who do state that they believe life begins at conception, but that is about as far as it usually goes. The debate should be on this issue (when does life begin), not if it is wrong to take an innocent life. I do place more blame on the liberals for shying away from this issue, but we pro-lifers should do more to press it and make it the central topic.

For me, it comes down to potential. I believe life begins at conception. It is at this point that the only way to stop life is to interfere and prevent the normal course of events that will produce a living, breathing human being. Interfering in this process is ending the potential life and I view this as ending life.

There may be cases for mothers health and such where it may need to happen, but statistics range between 1 and 3% are performed for the mother's health. As a believer, I'm less concerned about the eternal security of the innocent unborn child than I am about the mothers or any adult, but it seems to me that abortion is used mainly as a way out of responsibility and performed by ending a potential life. Action taken to end a would-be child's life, whether their heart is beating or not, is still killing and to me the point at which that potential begins is at the division of cells upon conception.

Most liberal thinking is made out of "feelings" and word games.

On January 23rd, as one of his first acts in office, Obama signed the Mexico City accord, making U.S. taxpayers parties to abortions worldwide. One of his FIRST priorities.

Can you say 'Molech-worshipper'? Can you say a modern Nimrod? (whose crime was to stand in the way of God's command to spread out and fill the earth, by building the Tower of Babel).

Flash ahead 1290 days and we get to... August 5th, 2012, the day after Obama's 51st birthday. Note that the digits add to six. Note also that this is the date of Shabbat Nachamu, the Sabbath of Consolation commemorating the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.

Note further that when Antiochus Epiphanes desecrated the temple in 168 AD, he gave the order on his birthday and carried it out the day after. Also note that this is during the Olympic games -- a worldwide event in which a major muslim temple there will be seen on TV worldwide.
