Obamanation at Notre Dame

President Obama received an honorary law degree at Notre Dame on Sunday, May 17, 2009. Everyone in American by now knows that. But, here's the scoop, at least from my perspective.

As an Illinois State Senator, Obama voted for born-alive newborns to die in closets after a failed abortion. As a United States Senator, he voted to allow full term babies to be aborted at the moment of birth, (partial-birth abortion). And now, as President of the United States, he advocates the destruction of human life for the purpose of research (embryonic stem-cell).  With his executive order, the Mexico City Policy was revoked and abortion is funded throughout the world. In other words, President Obama is completely committed to the abortion movement. There will be no effort, either legislatively or executively, to reduce the number of abortions.

At Notre Dame Obama said, "honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science as well as respect for the equality of women." Obama continued, "he plans to revise the "Conscience Clause" put in place at the end of the Bush presidency. 

Linguistic gymnastics? Double speak? Deceived and uneducated? Wily? Tells a double tale? You bet!  One might ask, what is an embryo? What is a fetus? I know those answers are "above his pay grade", however, they are not above everybody else's pay grade. Other people know the truth and either abide by it, or not. It's called conscience.  

Sound policies? How about recognizing a simple medical fact, that the embryo, no matter how created, remains a live human being. If they are not human beings, what are they? It's alive and growing. This is an old trick. All one has to do is take a category of living human beings and isolate them into a class .. ie the "unborn", "elderly", "Alzheimer", "embryo" and "fetus", "mentally handicapped". Once isolated, they can be dehumanized. Once dehumanized, they're free game for society's predators. Or in this case, an "Economic Savior".  Middle ground? I don't think there's any middle ground, when we're talking about killing. There was no middle ground in the Concentration Camps. 

The proof of the pudding will come very shortly. If President Obama is serious about reducing the number of abortions, and working together to do so, he has a perfect opportunity. He is about to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice. He is about to publish the Conscience Clause for Healthcare Workers. He is about to issue guidelines for the NIH for embryonic stem-cell research. In everyday terms the ball's in his court.
