Now I&#8217;ve two remarks to add to the fray on that. I wonder if this was on his mind, was he also (in subtext) offering:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I don&#8217;t want to be punished with a grandchild (for my failure to teach them morals and values) .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For after all, <em>that is also<\/em> in the mix. And in any sane family arrangement, if your child becomes a pre-teen mom &#8230; it is likely grandma and yourself who will be bearing a large part of the child-rearing until your child is ready and on her feet in her life&#8217;s journey. That could take a decade or more. This responsibility of course, would negatively impact the time he has available for raising his children &#8230; and to be honest I&#8217;d question sharing the time commitment of raising two children well with that required for running for President (and also being one).\u00a0 So one might ask, &#8220;When are you going to teach them about values and morals?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One also wonders, how removing consequences for actions &#8220;teaches morals and values&#8221;. Nerfing the world, removing all consequences from our choice is the pivot point for what this view of abortion. Declare non-human and outside <em>that<\/em> sector of society (the unborn) and we don&#8217;t have to deal with the consequences yet another sector of our choices. Great.<\/p>\n<p>And to stave off at least one line or argument recall Mr Obama fully supports late term abortion which is certainly inside everyone&#8217;s notion of fetus as having a right to life, after all if one induced labor and brought it to term &#8230; the child would live without extreme measures to sustain life required. Mr Obama after all signed on to legislature trying require hospital staff to kill any children &#8220;which accidentally are delivered <em>alive.&#8221;<\/em> One wonders how he contrasts that with his exegesis of the parable of the Good Samaritan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Obama is (rightly) demonized by the pro-life writers for saying, Look, I got two daughters \u2014 9 years old and 6 years old,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don&#8217;t want them punished with a baby.&#8221; Hmm.
