Following up my post of a couple of hours ago...
In an article in The Examiner, political columnist Timothy Carney calls the president's protection of Planned Parenthood (which not only advocates but facilitates abortion on demand) a part of his (Obama's) "abortion absolutism". That in turn is part of his attack on freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Says Carney:
This President, as a State Senator, voted against a bill requiring doctors to care for babies born after failed abortions (and then misled the media on the matter). As a candidate, he promised his first act would be signing the sweeping "Freedom of Choice Act," which would wipe out nearly all limitations on abortion and abortion subsidies. And then during the budget debates we saw him draw nearly his only line in the sand over Planned Parenthood subsidies.
It's abortion absolutism. Everything else -- free assembly, free speech, conscience protection, and his party's other interests -- they all take a back seat to protecting abortion.
So it's not just Archbishop Dolan and the USCCB. Obama's real agenda is all too apparent to millions of Americans. But how can he be stopped if the opposition does not put up a candidate who stands foursquare for the freedoms we believe in? So far, IMHO, the only one who comes even close is Ron Paul.
