Let's be clear here. This is not about a woman's right to choose. By the time an infant is born the pregnancy is ended.
by the way, in his book Sen Obama talks about the constitution and says:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
… [T]he essential idea behind the Declaration – that we are born into this world free, all of us; that each of us arrives with a bundle of rights that can't be taken away by any person or any state without just cause; that through our own agency we can, and must, make of our lives what we will – is one that every American understands.
Note the difference between what the constitution says and what he says. The constitution says that we have rights at creation.
He mistakenly says that those rights don't start until birth.
And even if we ignore the constitutional misunderstanding from a person who claims to be a const. expert he still contradicts himself when he says that a person has rights at birth and then votes against legislation that does nothing more than define a person as having rights at birth.
We have seen some petty attacks like on the "57 states" gaff but this is no gaff.
He is flatly saying that persons who are alive do not have the right to live even though they are not infringing on the rights of anyone else (as if that would even matter).
This is big stuff!
