Pirate's Cove

This is disgustingly humorous. A guy who will never be in the position himself but is the #1 supporter of all approved baby killing methods, including if a baby lives through an abortion, is attacking McCain for not wanting to kill babies (The Politico)

Barack Obama has launched a broadside against John McCain’s opposition to abortion rights and moved one of the most divisive issues in modern American politics to the airwaves on a large scale for the first time in this presidential campaign.

Obama’s new radio ad, airing widely in at least seven swing states, tells voters McCain “will make abortion illegal.” It’s airing as McCain courts female voters with the addition of the staunchly anti-abortion governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, to his ticket.

“Let me tell you: If Roe vs. Wade is overturned, the lives and health of women will be put at risk. That’s why this election is so important,” says the nurse-practitioner who narrates Obama’s ad. “John McCain’s out of touch with women today. McCain wants to take away our right to choose. That’s what women need to understand. That’s how high the stakes are.”

An announcer then claims that “as president, John McCain will make abortion illegal,” before playing an exchange on “Meet the Press” in which McCain told moderator Tim Russert that he favors “a constitutional amendment to ban all abortions.”

“We can’t let John McCain take away our right to choose. We can’t let him take us back,” says the ad.

Obama is addressing the 2nd Tenent of the Democrat Holy Script, Thou Shall Always Support Abortion Choice. The first being, of course, Though Shall Do Anything To Gain Power. The guy is much farther to the left then even Barbara Boxer on abortion, an issue that doesn’t appear in the Constitution. Yet, Barry has issues with private ownership of guns and the freedom to broadcast (Conservatively) on the radio, issues that do appear in the Constitution. Go figure.

I rarely get involved in the abortion issues, excepting for late term and parental notification, but, come on, this is the issu Barry wants to engage in? Baby killing? This is red meat for the hard core lefties, but, not something most Americans really want to discuss or hear about.

Alas, a blog, bites in to the red meat

Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes. Standing up for abortion rights — really standing up for them, not just hinting at that stance — is an electoral winner, especially given that many of McCain’s female supporters do indeed think he’s a pro-choicer. His selection of Palin should put that to rest, but ads focusing on it should do so even more.

Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes. Standing up for abortions rights but not our troops, standing up free-range talks with America’s enemies, they are all winning issues with Americans. I think that sometimes, within the confines of political think, we forget that most people do not want to discuss baby killing. Next time you are at a gathering, try and bring the subject up in terms of politics. See how fast people try and change the subject, and failing that, walk away.
