I recommend that you listen to it.

Did you hear the contorted rhetoric here?  On the one hand Obama says: “culture wars are so 90′s” and on the other hand he states, “I will not yield.”  So let me ask, how can there be culture wars unless there are two opposite sides?  He is accusing pro-lifers of being contentious, divisive people.  He is wishing we would just surrender and go away – yet he himself will not do so.  The arrogant elitism here is profound and disturbing.  Is Obama just elitist or he is also cold?

The pro-abortion cause is not yielding an inch and is as militant and frantic as ever. To paint the pro-life movement as contentious is hypocritically absurd.  Let’s pray that this is a sign of desperation and that the pro-abortion movement is loosing its grip.

My hope is that one day the majority of us will look back on such pro-abortion politicians the same way we do the powerful leaders of the Antebellum South such as John Clay: great speakers, powerful politicians of brilliant leadership, but deeply flawed and very mistaken.  My prayer is that one day we will look back on this time in the same way we now look back on the pre-Civil Rights Era and the Antebellum days before the Civil War and sing, thanks be to God abortion is gone, and “His truth is marching on.”

If you are on the fulcrum here you need to carefully listen to his words and you need to read Justin Taylor’s post below.  Those of us criticizing Barack Obama as an extremist and radical pro-abortion politician are not exaggerating.  The Freedom of Choice Act would completely sweep away all pro-life progress and hopes of lasting change besides completely destroying the rights of the unborn, the rights of parents, and the rights of pro-life physicians and counselors.  Furthermore, this will not ease up the culture war but it will divide this country as never before.

HT: Justin Taylor, What is the Freedom of Choice Act?

We must ask ourselves: how different are we than the other nations we have judged?  Are we any better for conducting our business as a democratic republic and accepting the horrible decisions of the various branches and institutions of that republic than if the horrible decisions had been foisted on us by a dictator?  No, unrighteousness is not made righteous by popular vote, democratic or federal government processes. I digress.

Thus, I cannot vote for Barack Obama based on other issues and I am very disturbed by those who otherwise claim to be pro-life that will do so.  Obama’s position is not a matter of debate or opinion; his record is clear: he is pro-abortion.  There are a lot of other reasons to not support Barack Obama, such as his near socialism view of government, his lack of experience, his professorial manner, and such, but this is the issue that decides my vote.

On Obama’s position, see these posts and read for yourself:

Justin Taylor refers to the work of Robert P. George:  Robert P. George: “Voting for the Most Extreme Pro-Abortion Political Candidate In American History is Not the Way to Save Unborn Babies.”

Dr. Al Mohler refers to George’s works as well as his own excellent comments:  The Abortion Question and the Future.

I highly recommend that you read these posts and if you are on the line on this question think about it!  Whether you like it or not your vote is a moral issue, not merely a political one.

Read here about the impact of our abortion culture on the decline of births of children with down-syndrome.  It’s a Nazi-style medical victory.

Sarah Palin is an incredible example of standing against this culture of death.  Andrew Macolm writes about some of the insanity coming out against Palin’s bold example.  But hey, I don’t think she cares.

I’ve heard some say recently that the American workplace is the Civil Rights issue of our day.  Are you kidding me?  No. No. No.  Abortion is.
