Obama: Mental Distress Can't Justify Late Abortion

 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says "mental distress" should not qualify as a justification for late-term abortions, a key distinction not embraced by many supporters of abortion rights.
 
In an interview this week with "Relevant," a Christian magazine, Obama said prohibitions on late-term abortions must contain "a strict, well defined exception for the health of the mother."
 
Obama then added: "Now, I don't think that 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term."
 
Last year, after the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on late-term abortions, Obama said he "strongly disagreed" with the ruling because it "dramatically departs form previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women."
 
 
Dr. Dobson Does Not Speak For Me

Dr. Dobson Does Not Speak For Me

This week Dr. James Dobson, a man that I have greatly admired over the years, apparently had a bad day or simply became entangled in the heat of politics to the detriment of his rationality.  He assailed Barak Obama on his radio broadcast, denouncing his Christian conversion, as well as, his understanding of the constitution.  Review his comments HERE

In June 2006 Mr. Obama gave a speach specifing his spiritual position and outlook.  It was not lunatic or the words of a close closet muslim.  Although I may not agree with his theology in total, I do not find his positions anti-christian or athiestic.  Here is the speach. 

I was thrilled when Roland Martin of CNN posted a response from a Bush confidant, Barak supporter, and officiant at the wedding of First Daughter Jenna, Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston.  This response gave a rational and on-point refutation of the comments of Mr. Dobson.  I have included Rev. Caldwell's letter below.

Mr. Martin's post also included a link to a online petition decrying Dr. Dobson's statement that includes a petition with comments where you can express you disagreement with Dr. Dobsons position.  The website is http://jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme.com/  and I urge you to post and make a comment about this issue. 

Here is a copy of my comment on that website:

I was quite taken aback by Dr. Dobson's statement and rancor. As much as I appreciate his books and commentary, on this issue he is way off the mark.

I support Mr. Obama and look forward to change, any change!!  For years I was a black Ronald Reagan republican.  I even served as a Republican precinct chairman. So I do not support Sen. Obama lightly.

But I believe in the sincerity of his conversion. I also believe that he has a firm grip regarding the constitution and it's application.

I may not agree with him on EVERY issue.  But he is my choice and the choice of many other bible thumpin, sin hatin, blood bought believers as our choice (led of the Holy Spirit) for President of these United States of America

 
In Him,

Pentagon asked to block broadcast on Christian network

 

By JOHN MILBURN
The Associated Press

TOPEKA | A foundation that has sued the military alleging widespread violations of religious freedom is asking the Pentagon to block a Christian cable TV broadcast featuring officers in uniform.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has raised objections to 20 minutes of the two-hour broadcast of "Carman's Red, White and Blue Spectacular," saying the program may violate a prohibition against uniformed officers endorsing a particular religion.

Mikey Weinstein, president of the foundation, said the military's involvement in the program "maliciously defiles and lays waste" to regulations. He wrote Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on Monday seeking a full investigation.

The program is scheduled to air July 4 and 5 on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. It previously produced in 2003 and re-aired in 2005.
