Mr Obama is (rightly) demonized by the pro-life writers for saying,<\/p>\n
Look, I got two daughters \u2014 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hmm. Now I’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
I don’t want to be punished with a grandchild (for my failure to teach them morals and values) .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For after all, that is also<\/em> in the mix. And in any sane family arrangement, if your child becomes a pre-teen mom … 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’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 … and to be honest I’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, “When are you going to teach them about values and morals?”<\/p>\n
One also wonders, how removing consequences for actions “teaches morals and values”. Nerfing the world, removing all consequences from our choice is the pivot point for what this view of abortion. Declare non-human and outside that<\/em> sector of society (the unborn) and we don’t have to deal with the consequences yet another sector of our choices. Great.<\/p>\n
And to stave off at least one line or argument recall Mr Obama fully supports late term abortion which is certainly inside everyone’s notion of fetus as having a right to life, after all if one induced labor and brought it to term … 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 “which accidentally are delivered alive.”<\/em> One wonders how he contrasts that with his exegesis of the parable of the Good Samaritan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
