Most Americans are sensitive about abortion and have a
relatively equal concern. We all wish contraception had
been deployed to prevent the occasion of abortion. The
politicians who expolit the Pro Life position are no more
sensitive than the rest of us; their issue is not about
the fetus, but Male Dominance and the ability to collect
money from gullible Christians. McCain and Obama are
both short-sighted reactionaries, out of step with God's
future. Twenty years from now Gay Marriage will be legal
in all states and territories, Family Planning will be in
full effect and no one will attack the civil liberties of our women. The Real God who extends perfect tolerance and unconditional love to all souls will prevail and in the American history of the future the
squawking and pretentious old men in the religious and political forums of this time will appear as cruel and ignorant clowns.

These are two good candidates. Let's not get caught up in all of the personal attacks and accusations, please. I admire Mr. McCain for his militay service (which he incidently, made sure he used to his advantage….even when it had nothing to do with the question asked). That said, his continued reference to "victory" in Iraq, seeing the world through an "us" and "them" (the rest of the world) military viewpoint concerns me. He clearly touts military solutions and continues to view the world as being filled with "good guys" and "bad guys" similar to the current administration.

The problems in the world are much more complicated than that and our country, like it or not, is much more connected and our relationships more interdependent internationally than they were just 20 years ago. Quick and so called "straight talk" answers may sound good, but fall short when attempting to solve problems in a world that is much more complex than many Americans want to acknowledge (remember the "axis of evil?") . Rabid anti-abortionists would do well to remember those children in our own country and around the world that are adversly afected by our policies rather than continue to seek selfishly, to push their own agenda.

Senator Obama was very clear that he is not "for abortion" but for choice. Clearly he understands the socio economic status is highly correlated with all the social problems that help lead to unwantted pegnancies, eg., drug addiction, unemployment, etc. Who is protecting the rights of the CHILD ONCE IT IS BORN??? wHAT 15-YEAR OLD IS CAPABLE OF REARING A CHILD!

Made a clear mistake: open not hopen

I want to speak out on this subject. Last night program was a least a far right wing gift. handed to them on a silver platter. I love Christ. I believe in god, I was hoping this , Card the far right wingers play had been folded. But is out on the table again. 8 years no more I have been made to feel., If i don"t wear a t-shirt saying god bless America, Stand up for a war that is wrong and unjust., Force moral issues on others such as pro life, Or respecting others right,s that are much different than mine-like gay rights It not American to Have these stand and still be a good person i am some how a evil communist. But, I think it is evil to impose your moralistic superior Ideas on anyone. Judge not least you be judged.. And its a nasty game play on the fundamentalist Christains . they are being used, by McCain, just like bush did. that is a filthy shame.

c

This is a delicate subject but I must side with Obama.There are circumstances of rape,or birth defects that have to be taken into consideration.For example,the rape of a child too young for motherhood.This would create an unwanted feeling for the child and serious problems emotionally for the mother.Obama thinks all these things through before speaking and reacting.He's the voice of reason we so desperately need.McCain can't relate to anything outside the military point of view which is a scary thing.I'd never want McCain in control of my life.

To Cosmic Comedy Queen…….you know…..you Hillary lovers are really getting tiresome………why don't use your time having a bake sale or something…..and pay off her egotistical debt !!!!!!

Anti-Abortionists…… Caring more for the unborn then those already born.

Another example of Obama not wanting to take a stand in case it hurts him politically.
This man has no core values , no wonder his voting record has been recorded as 133 times " PRESENT ".
Has Obama ever given a straight forward answer , I can't think of one..!!!

Because McCain is pro-life, he gets my vote 100%. That is just one issue that turns me from other candidates towards McCain. God bless them that love life; therefore, they shall have life and have it more abundantly..

Good speeches that has been Xerox from different sources cannot put food on my table, or shoes on my feet, or clothes on my back or roof over my head. Only works does. It's time to see and not look; time to hear and not listen. It't time for good works and not just good speeches.

McCain is a great substance that we shouldn't miss at this crucial time in our history.

God bless him.

The extreme right will never quit. It does not matter if falsehoods are freely thrown around; lies, dislikes, hate, and etc. seem to have a powerful grip on the thinking process of individuals or groups that have never seen the definition of integrity. Good luck to the two newest medioeval voices: to what is his name's new book and to the real truth about obama group. Hate is corrosive and destructive to the people that hate. I really feel sorry for what is his name that wrote the latest book and the group for whatever that just emerged. Are you afraid to face the fact that yes, we will have a President with a brilliant mind able and willing to do something for this country?
Are you afraid that the American voters might not be derailed by a person or group that only seeks money, notoriety or both? I have a suggestion for the haters: get a life, help somebody in need; help your country; adopt some children; love and guide the ones you have; and hopen the dictionary to look up the words hate, corrosive, destructive and INTEGRITY.

Why is it that Christian groups are so concerned about taxes? Jesus said the "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's".

Caesar did far more evil and insidious things with his riches than the American government ever will and yet Jesus instructed his followers to give their wealth to him.

I'm waiting to hear a right-wing Republican Christian group come out and say, "please raise our taxes because we are concerned about our riches in Heaven".

So ironic….How can you be against a women right to chose …an abortion…. but agree with the dealth penalty… How many people did Gov. George Bush kill in texas when he was Gov of that state.
Isn't killing is killing? I don't understand…

Obama/Kaine 08

To All you "Bible Pushing Politicos" When did the Ten Commandments become the Ten Suggestions?

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image–any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' (unless for monetary or political gain) (The flag used to honor the heroes that have fought and died to give us a better world….Now it means my real estate office is open and we believe everything that you flag waving customers do!)

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' (unless for monetary or political gain) (even though Sabbath means Saturday, and is the ONLY day mentioned in the bible, as the 7th day, (Sunday is the FIRST) King Consentine changed it to Sunday for his convenience….perhaps we can change it to Monday since it is deemed as a rotten day anyway)

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

SIX: 'You shall not murder.' (unless for monetary or political gain) (This only applies to unborn babies….it's ok to kill towel heads and queers or anyone involved with an abortion)

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' (unless for monetary or political gain) RE READ THIS ONE AGAIN PLEASE

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.' (unless for monetary or political gain)

Revelation tells us how to recognize the true lord when he returns…."He will be the ONE who keeps the commandments" (unless, of course for monetary or political gain)

Craig - Hastings, MN August 17th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

In point of fact abortion is not a POLITICAL issue. It is a CHOICE issue. I don't nor does ANYONE I know LIKE the idea of abortion but it is NOT OUR CHOICE to make . It belongs to the person making the choice. Period. Let them air the adds. Sensible people will dismiss them for what they are.

I don't see why Obama would have any problem with this add.

It just reafirms his pro-choice stand and what he will do to advance it. It should help his support among the pro-choice people and will help McCain with the pro-life people. I'm sure that everyone in both groups already know Obama's positions on the issue anyway.

Why would Obama be concerned about the truth?

I am against abortions , however I would like to think that women have a choice should they face medical problems or have been raped .
What I utterly oppose to is when abortions become a form of birth control.
This matter just like religion should never be part of any political election or forum.

The Real Truth About Obama wants to post ads on its Web site and on the Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity talk shows in key states
****************************************************************************
You Guys should used money to Run AD to help feed Some Starving Children …..Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity should have been ABORTED!!! I am sending …..Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to H_LL

It is amazing to me that people are saying that McCain won the forum on Saturday night. I did not know that this was supposed to be a competition. I thought that both candidates were going to have a conversation with the pastor about the issues he posed to them. Barack Obama was thoughtful when he answered the questions and he had to take more time with his answer about his faith because there are some evil people who still want to suggest that he is a Muslin. In my view there is nothing wrong with being a Muslin, Jew, etc. The man is a Christian and he has to constantly say it to all the evil people who want to pretend that they don't know he is a Christian.

Also, when McCain was asked about evil —- without hesitation he went straight to Osama Bin Laden and other terriorists; he missed the point completely. He seems only to be able to talk about matters concerning wars. Obama was right on when he answered the question on evil — he said when we see it we should confront it and that there are evil people etc. I am so pleased that I am an intelligent woman who can see the difference and not be fooled. McCain told the story about the man who untied his hands and who came back four hours later and retied them and then at Christmas when he stood outside the door of his cell the man drew the cross in the dirt — and for the FIRST TIME IN MCCAIN'S LIFE when he told this STORY - he added - WE WERE TWO CHRISTIANS GREETING EACH OTHER! (This was added conveniently because he was putting on his performance for the Evangelicals. How nice of him to add that to his STORY! Give me a break the MAN IS TELLING A STORY! Just the same way as he tells those stories on the campaign trail - about drilling for oil now when he bloody well knows that we will not see any results from drilling for the next ten years.

There are some adults who love to hear STORIES and there are those of us who love to be told the TRUTH!

Go ahead John McCain the great STORY TELLER. Go ahead Barack Obama the TRUTH TELLER!

President Barack Obama on November 4th, 2008. Yes! HE IS THE ONE, THE ONE AND ONLY!

For God's sake, he made his points on abortion clear, concise, and honestly. He will be a wonderful President for us all…

Obama '08

Okay.. pro-lifers question: If Roe v Wade is overturned, would this stop abortions? … the Answer is NO! You take a stand…fine…
Pro-Choice also takes a stand… where is the compromise?
Abortion is hard on all involved a decision that does not come easily.

Let's teach about abstinence, adoption, safe sex… No one is going to have it the way they want… who is best to listen and compromise this issue….President Obama!

ALSO– to all those preaching about murdering embryos and fetuses, get a grip. Can an embryo live by itself? Can an aborted fetus live by itself? These are not living, breathing babies as you know them. They are what may eventually develop into an infant. That is the cold hard truth. If you are so worried about murder, why dont you all focus on all the deaths that are happening over in Iraq right now. Those are completely developed human beings with lives and families.

I am so sick of these crazies who attack people both physically and verbally for disagreeing with their beliefs. Abortion is not some wonderful way to get out of a mistake. It is painstaking and has an emotional toll on nearly anyone who gets one. I am pro choice and believe it is a woman's right to choose. In some cases, I think the procedure is definitely necessary. At the same time, I am not ANTI pro life and I dont rabidly go after anyone who disagrees. I expect the same respect. These people are attempting to run an ad with a false voice which should be considered fraud or defamation in my eyes for the fact that some may actually believe it is Obama.

GOD is PRO-CHOICE in everything.

After Adam & Eve sinned God drove them out of the Garden of Eden. God did not destroy satan: in fact Satan still roams the earth seeking whom he may devour.
God has given each of us free-will (choice) in everything and each of us is responsible for our decisions. Why should the Government take away our free-will?

McShame was NOT in the sound proof cone. Pastor Warren is on CNN & now we are finding out McShame was in the car on his way to the forum. He could have been watching the interview with Obama, it was on all the channels Warren(Pastor) did lie about McShame being in the sound proof booth. The whole thing was a sham, designed to help McShame. I do not think much of this Pastor Warren, he LIED about McShame being in this sound proof cone!!

For the record, McCain was scripted and unfeeling. He did not talk on broad subjects, all of his views and conversation centered around foreign policy and his war years. He answered the questions that most pro-choice folks wanted to hear, he lived up to what the repubs wanted him to say. What has become real is that America needs to take their color blinders off and their judgemental blinders off that's what begans evil. We can not elect a president soley on if he is pro-choice when their are many other choices in the christian world that we are faced with. When Obama spoke on evil, he spoke right to the heart of those battles with choices that influence our decision each and every day from family, to ethic cleansing to just plain trying to live right. It's not just pro-choice. While McCain, symbolize Osama bin laden as evil. It's not the person, it's the act that is evil, McCain. Go read your bible.

This issue is not so much about abortion itself as it is about allowing outright falsehoods to be portrayed as FACT to the American public. A truly non-partisan group with actual facts to support their stance should not have to hire a voice impersonator to fool people into thinking these ridiculous statements were ever spoken, or even inferred, by Obama. If a liberal group hired Rich Little to speak for John McCain, to say things like "I promise to draft your children, I promise to start a war with Iran", etc., Hannity and Limbaugh would have a field day over that immoral, unethical group. Play fair.

If the courts rule in favor of this group I will be extremely surprised. If they're really advocating an issue and not about or against a political candidate why would they have Obama's name as part of the group? Their focus is not issue centric, it's centered on a particular candidate.

Furthermore, if what they proposed to do is true, then their action is not only morally questionable, it is in fact illegal - Deliberately spreading blatant lies with the intent of damaging a person's reputation is call Libel, and yes, if they air something like this you can bet the Obama's camp will take them to court…

"In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. Slander refers to a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images."

A woman has a right to choose and any group who feel they can influence women by bullying them is sadly mistaken. I do not tell so called "christians" how to worship so they don't get to tell me how to choose. My choice is personal and sacred and is between myself, my conscience and my GOD. It is the ultimate hypocrisy to force your opinion on individuals and claim to be christian. These so called christians have bombed and killed people in the name of GOD. They use the bible to push racism, hatred toward homosexuals and various social issues they don't necessarily agree with.

I applaud strong individuals who recognize that although we as human beings do not agree on many issues, but we can find ways to compromise. Senator Obama was respectful in listenning to others point of view and would rather work on issues both sides can do some good. Like, educating young women, living wages, providing pre-natal care, sexual education, contraceptives. These are the topics we as Americans need to focus on instead of spurring hatred in the name of GOD.

To "Abortion Is Right" you are right, people should have 100% control over their body. Now when there is a child developing in their bodies, does not that human have the same rights?

To "Mish": In case you didn't know, our military is voluntary. Children subject to abortion do not enroll themselves in death. "whats the difference?" Everything… Military service and abortion are not comparable. You are sick.

To "Jeremy": So you are now the utmost authority in defining what is human ("Unfortunately this may end the life of a FETUS (NOT A PERSON")?? I figured a beating heart or a functioning brain would be enough. I guess then we only a "person" when we are able to access the internet and make stupid comments on CNN.com's political ticker?

To the rest of you,
Barak doesn't believe his daughters should not be "punished with a baby" if they make a "mistake". So rather then being responsible and held accountable for their actions, he belives his daughters should just be able to kill a baby.

P.S. I am suprised Johnny Edwards hasn't paid his mistress to abort his illegit child she is carrying….

Abortion should be left up to a woman to discuss with her maker, her mate or her physician. Who are these spotless creatures trying to dicate to America? The evangelicals should crawl back into the tunnel Cheney dug them out of. Here we are perched upon a new day with infinite possibiities of solving serious issues and we are being boomeranged back to the abortion vs. choice issue of 2004. WAKE UP AMERICA and move ON! He who is free of sin, let him cast the first stone.

Americans complain of things not being good but don't want to make any changes that will result in a better tomorrow.

We are caught in the insanity trap.
If you keep doing something over and over again and are not getting the desired result– you are stuck in the insanity trap.

What was made clear to me now more then ever, is that the pro-choice issue has become a vehicle by which the repubs seems to judge their candidates, pro-choice, is everything we do in this life, is a choice and sin and is sin, no matter what degree. One sin is not worse then the other? If pro-choice is a reason to choose a president, then what is the cause for the choice??? Because the reality is that, each day some person is aborting their child. What we need is prevention, which I still have not heard any repub, speak on, PREVENTION. It's not enough to say I am pro-choice, while your neighbor is dealing with the decision to abort or not??? What are we saying here? every 4 years pro-choice we will run the pro-choice issue for voters to keep them calm, and after that, we do nothing????

The fear mongers counts on the continued ignorance of those who are too lazy to enquire facts.

The same ones who cast their votes in 2000 & 2004 for the current admin. They are still there and their beliefs are the same.

This time however, there are far more intelligent souls that will not fall for the same ole crap.

Hey I wouldn't have an abortion but I believe that a person should have the right too choose. I think that that will be between them and their maker.

Hi, there, are you going to post my comments, or is the moderator off-line for the evening?

I think Christians will forever find something to complain about. First it's abortion, then it's gay marriage, and now back to abortion. People are given free will to do what they want. Do you want all these infants being raised in poverty or broken homes? Maybe you should go after single parents having children out of wedlock.

As a gay person, I want to be able to marry, I don't think Christians or any religious groups have a place in government. Candidates religion shouldn't even matter. To force something down someone's throat is unethical.

Whether abortion or gay marriage, I think people should worry about their own lives, and not try to control someone else's.

Has everyone forgotten how abortion became legal in America? America has always been anti-abortion. But America's daughters were coming up maimed and dead at the hands of back alley abortionists.

I don't like abortion. But I fear that banning abortion may be like banning alcohol. Prohibition did not work. Overturning Roe v. Wade may not work either.

I personally would not have an abortion but I have ALWAYS been pro-choice as a young woman as still as an adult woman.

I don't know how any woman can support McCain just on the mere single fact alone that he wants to repeal Roe v. Wade by appointing two conservative justices. If Roe v. Wade is repealed, what will the federal government do next to limit Women's Rights of her own body!!!?????

Every women needs to really think about what it means to themselves to be in control of their own body before voting for McCain.

projectial barfing August 17th, 2008 11:44 am ET

His stance on abortion is nothing short of criminal !

Not according to the Law, The supreme Court, or Common Sense

All these groups that are anti abortion fail to offer alternatives other than "just say no". If you want to force young women/girls to have the baby, you need to be ready and willing to financialy support that baby until it is old enough to enter the work force and become self supporting. Forcing a women/girl to have a baby without financial back up will just lead to an increase in poverty, child abuse and crime! Tellling young people to say no just doesn't work!

It is evident that Rick Warren had given John McSpeedy Answer the
questions. He even mentioned the question about the Supreme Court
Justices before he was asked. How did he know about that question
if he was in a sound proof booth and had never seen the questions.
Barack though about the questions before answering them and was
very humble and honest. He is the type of President Americans want,
a thinker. This reminds me of the ABC debates with the commentors
in the bed with the Clintons. It didn't work then and it won't work now.
The American people can see straight through this farce. John McCain stated that "vouchers works". Senator before you talk about
poor teachers, brush up on your English. What do we do with poor
Presidential Candidates like you? We send them back to their ranch.

If they do with Rush anyone with any ability to think on their on would not hear it . So that takes care of them. Only mindless gutless people who only care for themself listen to Rush.

Using an "Obama-like voice"? If that's not slander, it's at least grasping at straws.

The church has no more right to tell it's parishioners how to vote, than does a union, or any other organization.

Those organizations should ask their people to please go out and vote, BUT, they have no right to tell them whom to vote for!!!!

CNN, after Rush Limbaugh's XXX rated statement about Elizabeth Edwards last week, how can you mention this awful man on your
website.

More lies coming from the right wing nuts. Why can't these people just tell the truth and let America decide what they want.
The fact is , that people who would believe and add campaign like the one proposed are the same ones who helped put W back in the White House, uninformed and unsophisticated.

I would question what churches are behind this PAC and determine if they can continue to claim exemption from taxes since they wish to politicize their beliefs.

Did McCain just Declare victory in Iraq?

Is there a transcript yet?

Why is he declaring Victory in Iraq before Bush?Or did Bush already declare victory with that little Cod Piece Carrier Landing Stunt.(it's so confusing when you've been lied to so many times)

Like what McCain said in Colorado yesterday, that recent Russian aggression in Georgia is the "first…serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War."

McCain seemingly ignored the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Iraq War, just to name a few.

When is SOMEONE going to call out that crazy old coot on these obvious discrepancies?

Bomb Bomb Bomb. Drill here Drill now, Surge, surge, War War War

and at the General Petraua what about your familly?

Abortion is always a tough topic to address, especially for a candidate running for the U.S. Presidency. I think that Obama has been diplomatic yet honest in his communications regarding this very sensitive issue. Unfortunately, I think there will always be people who are uninformed or elect to forget about the many serious reasons why abortion was made legal in the first place.

I absolutely support his position on pro-choice and even more so, I support Obama personally because I known that his heart is in the right place, and he possesses the intelligence, tactfulness, sound morals and judgment required to lead this country down the RIGHT path.

I don’t trust McCain at all. Every time I hear him speak, I view him as being very superficial and unwilling to open-up (like Obama) to the general public. Although he does have impressive and honorable Military expertise to draw upon, he seriously milks this aspect of his background. We don’t need a President who is ready to fight from the get-go, we need a President who is politically savvy, thinks before acting, someone who is conscientious about all sides and is capable of making the best decisions on behalf of the entire country. We simply NEED Obama in the White House.

Who is McCain going to call in the middle of the night for help in making a major decision? Well, the founder of E-Bay, of course.

How is McCain going to get America out of this financial disaster? By, of course, not raising anyone’s taxes because it’s only the spending that has been out of control, not taxes.

If you like abortions, you will love Obama. He would even have his daughter have one, I've heard. Under his leadership, you probably could go to the five and dime and pick up one.

He is certainly risky and it would be a gamble for him to be in charge.

Obama also likes the taxes. The more the merrier. He will tax you and spend your money. Probably on a vacation to Hawaii where he can body surf.

McCain will protect your wallet, your values and your country. With Obama it would be a gamble. I don't want to gamble with my life and my country.

Honestly I’m just not sure that I understand the pro lifers position.
I’m not quite sure which person or church or group or whatever, has been given both the knowledge and authority to speak for God. And according to whose interpretation of him/her?
If it goes against Judeo-Christian values, what happens to all other Americans’ values? I guess I thought that the millions of Buddhists in the country who are citizens, for example, would be afforded the same right to freedom of religion as Jews and Christians.
If life is sacred and a mother should not be allowed to end a pregnancy, does that mean the State does not have the right to end a prisoner’s life who is on death row? That paradox has also escaped me. It seems that a Pro Lifer would advocate for life just with no possibility for parole.
And then there’s of course the case of a person ending their own life. Never mind, I think I already know the answer. People in agony due to illness will simply have to wait it out.
Suffering all the way around…What a life.

I am pro-choice. I agree with Obama on this isue except for the killing the newborn baby after it survived the abortion. Abortion is a womens right, it should stay a right. You cant make a women have a baby that she doesnt desire, she will probably end up killing it herself or finding some secret place to have the abortion at. anyway Abortions should be legal because of serious situations that a female may endure such as rape, murder, or if the baby has health problems or if she does.If a 10 year old gets raped and ends up pregnant, you would make her have the baby anyway? NO
That is taking away a womens right, If she doesnt want an abortion that that is her choice, It depends on the perosn and how they are about this issue to consider having an abortion.

I'm sure Obama doesn't want any one to know about his opposition to the "Born Alive Infants Protection Act" that would have mandated medical treatment for aborted babies who are born alive following the heinous procedure. As someone who is generally pro choice I have to say that these late term abortions are vile. How can Obama oppose such legislation. I hope the pro life groups make this an issue in the coming months.

Abortion is one issue in a multitude of issues that affect everyday Americans. This is a PAC that has money and supports Senator McCain. Americans don't be fooled by one issue….when the Real Issues are: the economy, the bankruptcies-individual and corporate, jobs lost, jobs eliminated, jobs sent overseas at reduced wages, higher gas prices, higher food prices, foreclosures, predatory lending, Republican promise–less government, now there is more government-bailouts of Bears-Stearn and IndyMac, missmanagment in Irak etc. etc. etc.

last nights forum clearly showed obama is a novice, compared to the experienced war hero john mccain. he couldn't even give simple yes, or no answers, he blabs on, and on, and on. can't wait till mccain and him debate. hillary chewed up obama and spit him out in the debates, and john mccain will do the same. finally americans are seeing that obama was a media creation.

These groups are the same idiots who wave this banner and yet vote NOT to change the "adoption" laws in this country, or laws protecting abused children, etc.

GET OUT HERE WITH THIS CRAP, WHAT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!!

I BET MANY OF THESE SAME PEOPLE HAVE BIG TIME "SKELETONS" IN THEIR OWN CLOSETS.

I'm a TRUE believer in what my momma use to tell me. She would say…
"Baby, the people that make the most ruckus, are usually the very same people that have the most to hide and have sinned more than the people their attacking"… I've found this statement to be 150% TRUE today.

Just look at a HARD look at the pulpits across this nation !!! When a Pastor, Priests etc. is making $25 million on MORE. It's NO LONGER about the religion folks, it becomes ALL about the "almighty DOLLAR".
MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

NO Pastor, Priests or Pope, etc. NEEDS to wear a $5,000 suit to PREACH the word of the LORD!! God did NOT wear $5,000 suits, drive a Bentley and live in million dollar mansions!! This is MAN'S GREED using "religion" as a tool to get RICH!!

Religion has become nothing but a BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS OF GREED, GREED, GREED and MORE GREED. Many of these mega church Pastors and Preachers are nothing more than GREEDY MEN looking to get RICH using GOD as a tool to do it.

GOD doesn't sleep, all this greed is going to come back on the human race and we are going to pay dearly for all our sins. SOME more than others. GOD doesn't like to be used in vain.

Truth be told, I am more the Bush clone than McCain.
But who wants to hear the truth these days?

For those who claim that the decision to abort the unborn rests entirely with the person I ask:

Was it your choice to be born? To die?

I guess, by reading what I just wrote, I sound like something i don't like. Selling abstinence is fine if you have followers. Birth control is the key. Because basicallly no one follows abstinence anymore based on my communications with my kids. not them, but friends

ok all you hillary lovers that say your going to vote for McCain …. You will vote for a women despite womens rights payy attention please

Instead of lieing and distorting, why don't you work with Cahtolic Charities and like groups to help women to choose adoption? How about working with counciling groups that help the women that are in this preditament? Get a real job that makes a difference. Use this money to help not lie and distort! I think that's more of the Christian way. Why is CNN covering this, if there are lie and distortions? This is not news or does the N stand for something else?

Christians have no right force any issues on any one. Being a Christians is an indiviualy choice just like having an abortion. That person and only that person have to answer to God and only God about the sins they committ whether it's been adultery or abortion not some Christian group.

well,
like it or not, there will always be abortion happening… whether it happens legally is an important matter. Back alley abortions are a thing of the past , or so I hope. All of these high school kids they are trying to sell abstinence to??? Please… I have 3 children and would never have aborted but the right to choose should not belong to someone other than the pregnant one.

off-topic,but,41% of people still believe in bigfoot.same number as supports mccain.

I was considering Sen. Obama last night until I heard Sen. McCain speaker to Pastor Warren. Sen. McCain is MY GUY!!! He's the only person who still wants to hunt down Osama Bin Laden and he wants to DEFEAT EVIL THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!!! We (USA) under McCain's leadership will BOMB IRAN - RUSSIA - NORTH KOREA - ISRAEL (well maybe not Israel). Death to the world and no one else but US - USA!!!!

McCain is my GUY!!! Bush is afraid to bomb Russia - so what we go to war with Russia - hold a national draft and send poor whites, the blacks and Mexicans to fight the Russians. We will DRILL HERE and DRILL NOW!!! World War III YES!!!! VOTE MCCAIN - VOTE MCCAIN!!! AMERICA NEEDS THIS PRESIDENT!!!!

Are we doing all we can to maintain the people we have here today.

Now, we need to target Obama, due to the failure of the church.

LOL

This is silly

He will win 08, Obama

Question: do we need to agree on all issues? LOL

Be honest!

I am, my answer is no

A no thinker would say yes

That why Obama will win 08

If anyone tells the truth and can back it up they should be free to say it. If you have Obama's own record and words about his views why shouldn't you feel free to express it. Let the people decide just how important it is to them. Never should anyone's voice not be heard. That is the American way or at least the way I knew it.

The one issue voter makes up the republican base, so sad! If they would just once take the time to investiigate what group is responsible for, first making the pactice of abortiona banned action, and then lobbying for the legal right to perform an abortion (that's right, the A..M.A), they might be able tochannel their anger to help lower health costs. Been to the doctor lately?

Why is it that when there is a controversial article about Obama the CNN comments are allowed to be posted for a very long time but on the McCain articles the comments are closed pretty quickly and only pro-McCain comments are allowed on those? I think CNN should have the same cut off number on all articles like 100 or 200. Play fair!

A skunk by any other name is still a skunk. If it smells, it must be from the "clean" campaign of the new "evangelical righteous" McCane.

The problem here is that Obama is for late term abortions, and when the babie is born alive and healthy he lets it die,because it was supposed to die during the abortion. Ihave seen on the blogs from a news source the bills that obama had voted on and he is fooling people.How can you support letting a 9month abortion of a healthy baby lie there for hours and die? i am not an american or a campaign person for anything just a human being that thinks this has stepped over the line of humanity.

A "abortion" is nothing more than an elected medical procedure. It is unmoral, unethical as well as unconsitutional for me to interject my personal beliefs as well as any religious teachings I may have had, when it comes to what is available for another person. Therefore the elected medical procedure should be a available for all that seek it. Also, IF and when we give our govt the ability to determine when life begins is when we allow them to regulate when it ends. Do we really want our govt to have that much power and control?

To empty vessel, empty words: You can't have it both ways. You say Obama is not experienced, yet you give him credit for defeating a bill all by himself. Uh, that's not possible. He ALONE could not stop any bill. He's good, but he's not that good.

I think that whenever people say they want to tell the 'real' truth, that it means they have either never told the truth before or they have so little credibility that they have to try and convince people they are telling the truth.

"Abortion"………………………..is murder; ither way you look at it……….GOD is the giver of life!………………..anyone person taking that life away, other than GOD; is a murderer…………..

How many orphans are there in the US? What are the pro-lifers doing to solve that issue? You only care about life until birth. Then you turn your back.

When are Americans going to stop hating. Far more can be accomplished if we focus on common needs of all Americans. Then focusing on beleifs that we differ and the color of an American's skin. We are all American First and we need to help all the poor, we need to help all the homeless,and we need to provide a quality education to all of our children. Division and hate is ruining this great country. The Replubicans are for dividing Americans to get their agenda pushed through. While jobs go overseas and the debt continue to rise higher and higher.

Pro-life advocates and right wing republicans are anti abortions as well as anti contraceptions, so lets have lots of babies, but we as society should not be responsible for taking care of them.

These people are full of contradictions if you are against abortions than at least allow cheap birth control!!

All I know is in Baracks home state he voted 3 times for live birth abortions. That is when a baby is born and LIVES for as long as 8 hours and is put in a soiled linen storage room, where they also put the biological waste, and is left to die. If that isn't evil I don't know what is.

To the so called pro-life people: start loving your fellow men as yourselves and let people make their own choices about their lives. If the Christians loved one another as it is written, then so many lives would be saved in this world. Many of those pro-life are hypocrites, and liars.

To the so called pro-choice people: who gave you the right to choice death for your unborn? What make your existence more valuable than those of your unborn children? I agree with you that a woman is supposed to have 100% “ownership” of her body and the state should not dictate what to do with it, but this doesn't take away your responsibility toward society, humanity, and life itself. I just know that anyone who aborts a child or a pregnancy reduces us all and diminishes humanity in so many ways. We are all loosing whenever an unborn child is aborted.

To Sick & Tired of Nobama - Any reasonable person knows what Senator Obama meant by that statement. When he said that, he was talking about education and teaching our kids values. Give it a rest. He clearly meant that he didn't want one of his girls to deal with an unwanted pregnancy if she made a mistake because she wasn't taught proper values or taught how to protect herself. We have a "pro-life" president now. What steps has he taken to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies or reduce the number of STDs?

What a bunch of high school graduate bigots?. I mean, Hannity and Limbaugh telling us what to do. They can't even put the US on the world map. So sad!.

Right wing little demagogs republicans stooges. Your lies are not going to stick this time around. No more repubs lies.

The repubs are going down hill in November.

Go Obama go.

Obama 08/12.

Look, abortion is above Obama's pay grade. He shouldn't have to discuss the matter.

That has to be the all-time worst answer I have ever heard from a presidential candidate. The Worst.

let them air it. they are hypocrites who say one thing but champion the opposite. you do a search on these hypocrites and you will find out that they've been involved in abortion. OBAMA, dont be swayed. the propaganda will backfire, and blow up in their faces.

As a state senator, Obama voted to ALLOW for the killing of a new born infant if the infant survived an abortion.

Obama is not pro-choice. He is pro-murder.

To the 18% of republicans that watch CNN…….

Why is abortion such an important political issue to you??

Not any moral arguments please, simply politically…why does it matter so much?

Would you insist that Roe v. Wade be overturned??

Is that a litmus test for selecting your president?

Do you realize that W. has nominated two conservative judges to the Suprememe Court and Roe v. Wade is STILL law??

Do you honestly think John McCain or Republican politicians want Roe v. Wade overturned if it means that it will no longer be a wedge issue to conveinetly discuss all of a sudden ever election cycle?

And Finally,

When was the last time you adopted a child?

I still wouldn't trust them. Watch your back Senator Richardson.

Let's try to see whether another moderator will let this through….
Can we also please have an ad in which a "John McCain like voice" proclaims that every woman who uses the pill or an IUD is a murderer and every man who sleeps with such a woman is an accomplice to murder? As both the pill and the IUD do not prevent conception but prevent a fertilized egg from nesting in the uterus, this is the logical implication of his stance that "human life begins at conception." It is quite obvious that most of the folks who run that line by a gullible public do not believe in it even for a second. To those who've taken a similar position: ask yourself how you would react if you heard that your best friend had strangled an infant. Then ask yourself if you would react if she told you she was on the pill. Same reaction? If the answer is no, you do NOT believe that fertilized egg is a human being.

Hello!!! We have had Republican domination for 8 years now and abortion is still legal. What is wrong with these people that they think voting for a Republican is going to stop abortion?? It is almost as dumb as those poor people that vote Republican so they can still own guns. These two issues are going no where. Wise up!!!

How come conservative republicans call themselves christians, when they lie so much? look at all the republican ads, books attacking Obama. Can any true christian do that?

I think woman like myself should have the right to choose and no one should be able to take that away from us!

Obama is not only for abortion but for INFANTICIDE (agains the Infant Born Alive Act). He will never have my vote.

Even Hillary and NARAL wouldn't go that far - if a baby is born alive from an abortion he/she deserves the same rights as any other human being.

Also, if the baby has a penis 50% of the time (in 50% of pregnancies) how is it a "part of a woman's body"??

Also, no way will Obama get any part of the evangelical vote once the truth about him comes out!!

REPUBLICANS— YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT ABORTIONS,YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WELFARE,YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WAGES AND LABOR UNIONS FOR FAIR WORKERS RIGHTS,YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT CUTTING TAXES FOR WEALTHY PEOPLE,BUT YOU DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT SENDING INNOCENT PEOPLE TO THEIR DEATHS FROM UNJUST WARS. WHAT A BRUNCH OF PHONIES!!!!!! PRO-CHOICE ALL THE WAY. IF A PERSON CANT ADOPT WITH ALL THE RED TAPE AND CANT AFFORD TO RAISE A CHILD WHAT OPTION IS LEFT? YES THINGS HAPPEN, BUT NO SUPPORT FROM YOU CRITICS. OBAMA IS RIGHT! PRO CHOICE IS CORRECT, BUT LETS ALL TRY TO SOLVE THE ISSUE SO NO BABY HAVE TO BE ABORTED OR BROUGHT N THIS WORLD WITH NO SUPPORT FROM YOU SO RIGHTED PHONIES. I BELIEVE YOU WANT THESE BABIES BORN AND RAISED TO FIGHT YOUR STUPID WARS!!!!!!

Ultra conservatives are interesting. Concern with rights begins at conception and ends around nine months later. Abortion should be safe,legal and rare. Whether or not it is a sin is the realm of the church but as far as it being a crime….. not so. Let's work together to make sure that every child is wanted and loved.
Otherwise making a crime will drive it underground. To borrow a phrase from the NRA "if you make abortion a crime than only criminals will perform them"

Its one thing to be free to present your views on an issue, quite another to present lies about someone else's position and views. What they're proposing to say in these so called "ads" isn't true! This is just one of those groups that chooses their President based on a single issue — and people like them will unfortunately listen to them. Those of us with at least half a brain who make it their business to be informed on the REAL positions of our Presidential candidates, won't even take this ad into consideration.

Obama '08.

McCain: have that baby so I can send him to war and kill him then. War is glorious and all I can talk about.

This is a choice for woman not man this is our body WE SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE IF MEN COULD HAVE BABIES IT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE MOVE ON PEOPLE!!!!! LETS TALK ABOUT OTHER ISSUES. I WILL ONLY STAND BEFORE GOD NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE……GIVE ME AND OTHER WOMEN A CHOICE!!!!!!!!

Obama 08/12!!!

Polls continue to show that the majority of Americans are pro-choice, and nobody is going to change their minds based on a misinformation campaign by a fringe group.

And why are people on here talking about who "won" or "lost"?! This was not a debate, it was only supposed to clarify the candidates position on evangelical issues!

Latinos for McCain stop with the black brown thing. What schooling did McCain provide? He did not answer any questions. He told stories and used his Vietnam experience to wow the crowd. I give Obama big marks as he gave detailed thought out responses. I see him in the light of an educator as he tried to enlighten people. Open your mind we are not going to force people to stop having abortions. We are not going to be able to go around the world and jump on everyone who gets out of line. Anyone remember Vietnam? Why were we there? Over 50,000 lost their life and we just walked away and allowed the country to fall to the dreaded communist now 30 years later capitalism has taken root and US airlines are vying for daily flights slots. Tourist visit from every part of the globe diplomacy will do more toward ending unrest than 50 ton daisy cutters. Ideology wars are seldom won. We will bankrupt our country before we convert Iraqi into a western style democratic country. Diplomacy and negotiation will go along way toward working out differences with solutions we can all live with.

McCain is thoughtful and uses good sense. His plan is the best one could imagine. B.O. is strictly political.

Abortion people like to think that pro-abortion people are inconsistent. They say since pro-choice people defend a woman's right to choose *not* to have an abortion as well as a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, they must have some morsel of belief in them that says yes I do believe that a clump of cells is an actual living, breathing baby.

Problem is you can defend a right of someone to do something without doing it yourself. For example, I can defend the right of someone to be a Christain without being a Christain myself.

Another problem is these groups use graphic photos and mention late term abortions all the time, but make no attempt to differentiate between early abortion and late abortion. They support banning all abortions, but all their evidence is from late term abortions. Ask any of these groups if they value a clump of cells just as much as a baby and they either dodge the question or show you more graphic photos. Here's a hypothetical that should make the anti-abortion folks cringe. Suppose you're running out of a burning hospital and you can save only one thing: a bunch of petri dishes full of future babies, or an actual real 2 year old baby. After all if "life begins at conception" those petri dishes should be worth more than a baby, but anyone who picks the petri dishes over the baby is a monster and rightfully so.

As long as the anti-abortion folks keep using the same sensationalist tactics as PETA and other fringe groups, they damage the little credibility they have. Do they really think people are so gullible to think the fake Obama voice is real? The ad will convince nobody.

What happened to free will. I don't know anyone who uses abortion as birth control. Like Obama said you have to believe that the decision was not easy to make. If they outlaw abortion then women will resort back to basement abortions and coat hangers instead of cleaner and safer methods. It will not force them into having a baby they do not want or cannot care for.

Gosh, I wish Obama would agree to some debates (beyond the 3 he's obligated to attend). Too bad for all of us that he won't… who are you going to get when he's elected? Hope, Change, Yes we can… what does any of that mean?

I just dont understand these people they oppose abortion, But support bombing and blowing up inoccent children as well as pregnant woman in SENSELESS WARS now i dont like abortion but i feel its a womans right to choose NOT THE GOVERMENTS!!!!!

First of all, I respect OBAMA for keeping his stance in a room full of people that don't agree with his position.

This whole elecetion is getting away from whats really important. The Quality of Life for Americans which is goinf down the drain.

Lets leave personal decisions witht he parties that need to make the decison.

I am worried about jobs, education, eating, gas prices… This crap is a distraction. Obama has to fight fight fight. First Hillary, still Hillary, Pumas, Republicans etc.

Lets talk about the issues.

By the way I am no too sure about Rick warren.

> you know he wouldn't think twice of ending a life, either before or after
conception.

Troy, except when sending people to unneeded wars, you mean.

Poor Obama. He has to sit idly by while he waits for his script writers to put together just the right sound bite for him on this issue. Ok, we'll hold…

Lived there some time ago. Commonwealth way of thinking. They also parade outside the hospital there with their signs of fetuses no matter how grotesque they are. Most of the people keep going shaking their heads. There is a group there that is looking for anything to get their faces in the news. Remember how they paraded outside the federal courthouse for the Michael Vick trial. But ask them to give a pack of pampers, food and shelter, or a foster home to the unwanted children brought into the world and the novelty has worn off. They go inside their nice little homes located far away from the center of the problem and tune out the rest of the world. Good for showing up for a cause. Was the Cradle of the Confederacy. Need I say more?

Since when killing is a 'matter of choice' and since when it is pardonable under the law? Is it all so different because the act of killing is carried out inside the mother's body?

Oh, Troy, "(McCain) wouldn't think of ending a life, either before or after conception." Are you crazy? He does not think twice about our service people being killed in war, nor about the other casualties…100,000 Iraqis dead is the last number I saw. He's a military man, trained to kill HUMAN BEINGS. And he's probably pro death penalty as well. Anyone who is truly pro-life is a total hypocrite if they are also pro-war and pro-death penalty. To say nothing of the fact that these same folks have the gall to call themselves Christian. Maybe someone ought to read their New Testaments a little more often.
I am against abortion, as well as against all war and the death penalty, because we have no right to ever play God. But that does not mean that we should be LEGISLATING behavior. People have to decide for themselves what is best for them. If I were raped, I don't know what I would do about an ensuing pregnancy, but I need the ability and the right to decide.
That said, the smear groups used same sex marriage here in Michigan in 2006 to rally evangelicals and get them to the polls. It worked, too, several other issues went down, and several fine legislators were beaten. So I see this whole discussion as a diversion from McCain's true beliefs and plans for the country, which include drilling to benefit the Republican oil men, war for ever, and inevitably, fewer jobs if he refuses to raise taxes and deal with the debt. Taxes are the dues we pay to live in a civilized society…how are your roads and bridges doing with no increase in gas taxes, which would fund projects and provide jobs, not to mention keep us all safer.

Marie,from Toranto! You sound as if you know Osama and McCain personally? They both are nothing but political and will say or do anything to get a vote in their pockets.Maybe you should check their voting record and take a look at who is more bi-partisan I think you will find that McCain is the true uniter and Obama is the devider that loves playing the race card…I like a president that has experiance under his belt instead of a person gifted with a silver tounge and this is coming from a young person I'm just 28 and can tell you that a person that is older has had a lot more life experiance. I was in the military for five years after 11 Sep 01 and can tell you I would rather have a president with military experiance than one with out.Obama,will never understand the military. A person that has military experiance is less likly to start a war for they understand the end results of it.McCain,gave a great sacrifice to his nation he recieved a beating every day for six years.What has Obama gave? Nothing!

I agree with this statement Senator Obama is right that he is not saying abortion should be but is prolife because he is saying the judgement, the decision of having an abortion lies with the individual one must trust in one's faith to make the choice that is right before God, we can not have our governments making that choice for us. Legislation can not deter a choice of free will.

More power to them!

Whatever it takes to take Obama down - do it.

I don't care about the perennial scare tactic -"Oh, Roe v Wade will be overturned." So what. It would serve the Democrats right. I love it that his own allies are asking for some content at long last. Obama the movie star HAS NO CONTENT. He has a few weeks to make something up. "The One" doesn't seem to be able to shake McCain, just like he couldn't shake Hillary. Only this time Howard Dean won't be there to crush any opposition.

This time it's the American voters' turn. And we WILL have the last laugh…

And the chances are really very remote - only because the Supremes are more politically and socially sensitive than Obama ever thought of being.

Well, surprise. It appears McCain lifted the "cross in the dirt" incident from the 1973 gulag book by Solzhenitsyn — a book McCain himself has written an article about, so he must be aware of it.

Hillary rightly got called out for making up a story about being fired on at the airport. Let's see CNN and the rest of the mainstream media call out McCain for this fabrication.

This is exactly why america has issues.

Everyone is so interested about focusing on the differences of opinion as oppose to being focus on our similiarities.

Im begining to believe that americans will mess up again and vote the wrong president.

WE ARE SO STUBBORN!!!

What is goin on with these goofy fukers? Abortins r a dime a dozen in
Baulfuk. Why not lot Amurikan women decide for themselves…they got a brain!

anti abortion but pro war, hu…

if life is so valuable how does one support both views?

Give the babies to the military to raise and then kill?

Last time I checked, more people were pro-choice than pro-life. So point out the fact Obama is pro-choice hurts him how?

Silly anti-choicers; this is America! Go to Iran if you want theocracy.

The Bible say abortion LEGAL

I see no reason to prevent a woman from aborting a fetus. In fact, even the Bible describes how the prophet Hosea prayed to God to abort the fetuses of his enemies (Hosea 9:14-16). Hosea's prayers were answered. From this, one can conclude that abortion is Biblical and legal. What is not Biblical or legal is bombing abortion clinics. And if life begins at conception, then what about all natural abortions that millions of women menstruate every year? Is such menstruation murder?

Douglas Babb_Princeton_KY

I read some of the comments and seems like I am not the only one who thinks that Mccain had heard the whole hour of obama he was ready for the questions before they were asked to him. Well no surprise guess the thought that was the only way he could answer any of the Questions. We are not his friends and we don't care what he did or didn't do in the camp during the Vietman war.What we want is someone who cares what is going on now and how will our kids, and Grandchildren going to live in future,Well as usual he has to cheat and lie just like the Bushe's to get any where just has to have cheaters,liers ,and Rush and Hannity to help him spew his lies about Obama. Beginning to think that the Repubs can't win anything without lies and rederick l.WEll the likes of Carl Rove will cartainly jump on that wagon Joy

Why is it Pro-life? I do not believe a single person is pro-abortion. It is a matter of Pro-Choice vs Non-Choice..A very difficult decision that I do not believe is easy to make by any woman.

It is very interesting how people use the bible only when it fits them. The same bible forbides death penalty, adultery (like sleeping with your futre wife before getting a divorce with your current wife), killing innocent people by promoting war. I am a man and do not think I have the right to tell a woman to carry a child or not. I wonder how will men react if a lot of women get together and try to amend the constitution that every man will have to be circumcized. I may not agree with abortion, but that do not give me the right to impose my views on other people. Isn't a fundamental teaching of the bible that we are all sinners and are not supposed to judge others. There is no major sin or minor sin the last time I check. STOP BEING INGNORANT FELLOWS!!

I always find interesting that abortion is such a big issue in this country, when death penalty is not.

I agree wholeheartedly abortion is wrong. I believe everyone would agree on this, however, who are we to tell other people what choices they should make. Any person in their right mind would try to counsel someone thinking of abortion to understand what the consequences of their action would bring. Death to an innocent child, guilt for the rest of the life of the person having the abortion, etc. are just a couple of results abortion causes. In the end though, even if you talk until you are blue in the face, that person considering abortion is the one who will make the decision. We cannot force our own beliefs on other people. We can try to get them to reconsider, to look to other alterntives such as adoption but in the end THEY are the ones who will do whatever they want to do. Rape, incest and the absolutely, definitive, positive danger to the health of the mother are the only criteria where abortion should ever be considered. BUT, with the medical technology and interventions we have today, it makes more sense to try to save the lives of BOTH child and mother.
What about the FATHER's concern in this matter? When is his opinion truly considered? It is important not only to talk to the mother AND the father involved but to the future grandparents as well. Hopefully by doing this the innocent child will have a chance at living. Who knows, maybe a future doctor, lawyer, scientist, teacher, religious leader, astronaut, parent, peacemaker, politician, etc may be saved to lead this great country into its rightful First Place in history again.
In the final analysis though it is time all parents took the responsility they have to heart. They are the ones who should be teaching their children about the morals of life and the results of not living up to those morals. These parental moral responsibilites not only pertain to abortion perils but to ALL moral laws. If this was done, maybe just maybe we would not only have no abortions but we will have less incarcerated people.
Think about it, folks, suppose some of the mothers and fathers of these people raising all this commotion had made the decision to abort their child we would not be having this discussion!!!!!

Republicans said, they are anit abortion and have a survey the Republicans will have had more abortions perform on people who said they are against abortions. A women have a right to decide to do what she think is best. Everyone don'nt feel that having abortion is taking a life. Obama is not saying he is Pro abortions Obama is saying women have the right to choose. Everyone thinking is different. In my opinion, if abortion was against the law and if the women don'nt want that baby she will find away to get rid of it and might kill her self in the process. For women's safety The Doctor's should be there for that situation.Don'nt get me wrong Obama knows that abortion is wrong. What I understand from what Obama is saying if a women choose the abortion right protect them with clinical ways.

When will some people get a life - If they spent as much time and energy on making abortion a political issue as the did on the number of major issues and problems that the people of this USA MUST deal with each day - this would be a much better country. Why not spend time and energy on the poor education that American children or receiving, the number of families losing their homes, jobs, and no hope of finding a job that will allow parents to continue to provide safe decent homes for their children.

What kind of asinine answer did Obama give to when life begins - he says it's above his pay grade to offer his version. What a cop-out. What is this guy going to do if he's elected President and he has to make a "moral" decision to end life because he has to delcare war somewhere - say it's above his pay grade? Hillary Clinton would never be so stupid as to say something so vacuous. Hillary Clinton needs to be nominated the next President.

Let them do it, i guess. I mean their ads are going on the Limbaugh and Sean Hannity shows COME ON! They will not be influencing anyone because the only people who listen to those neoconservative losers are neoconservatives who already believe what the ads are saying. Won't help much! Come on Limbaugh! People still listen to him?

If you don't believe in abortion don't have one. Now mind you own buisness.

BTW, completely aside from commenting on the contents of the article, I am heartened to see several of the posts supporting pro-choice and highlighting the Republican party's hypocrisy about this issue. I am thankful for people who think and reason. I support a woman's right to choose.

If the group would just change its name from "The Real Truth About Obama Inc." to "Our Opinion About Abortion, Inc.", and not mention Obama's name in their message, that would prove they are not campaigning against Obama. Otherwise it's clear thay ARE campaigning against Obama.

Paula you say that:
"Partial birth abortion has no place in our society as that is cruel and horrific. I believe Obama supports the law however"

Boy are you misinformed. Actually he does not support a ban on partial birth abortion as evidenced by two things:

1) In IL senate he voted against a bill that would give babies born alive after an abortion the same right as a normal human being. This occurred after a baby born alive after an abortion was starved to death (very disturbing).
2) He would nominate SC justices that oppose a ban on partial birth abortion. All liberal judges on the SC do oppose it.

So I am not sure why you "believe" he opposes partial birth abortion. Is it because he says he does? (I don't think he has said that explicitly). People like you are in for big surprises.

Time and time again the Republican party succeeds in making issues of non-issues like abortion and gay marriage. Both are personal choices and both are none of you business.

If people can't see beyond the lies of the right and actually vote for McCain, they deserve another 4 years of a badly recessed economy, being threatened with war every other day by their OWN president.
