Obama: "Men Have the Sense to Know Abortion Helps Them" (and other disturbing comments)
Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 01:33PM At a Planned Parenthood conference in Washington, DC in July 2007, Barack Obama opened the door to those not so familiar with what this squeaky clean looking presidential candidate really believes about abortion. Some points in the speech are:
-
Men have the sense to know that they are helped by Planned Parenthood (i.e., free sex, no responsibility)
-
Abortion rights = equal rights with men
-
Wants to win Presidency and ensure the Supreme Court tips toward liberals
-
Partial Birth abortion should not be banned
-
“I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan when teaching constitutional law”
-
Stands by his liberal abortion voting record
-
He will not yield on abortion rights, particularly concerning appointing liberal Supreme Court nominees
-
“Choice” is a lifestyle
-
“Culture wars are just so 90’s”
-
Teach science/contraception to girls in school
-
Never be willing to consign (punish) a teenaged girl to a lifetime of struggle because of a lack of access to birth control
-
Churches like United Trinity Church of Christ understand that abstinence and fidelity are the ideal and not the reality
-
Stay at home motherhood and the nuclear family is an “ancient notion”
-
Abortion rights help women to break through the glass ceiling
-
Planned Parenthood’s first Margaret Sanger Award in 1966 was awarded to Martin Luther King Jr, who wrote in his acceptance speech: “Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by non-violent direct action may not have been so resolution without the tradition established by Margarget Sanger and people like her.”
To consider an award from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger an honor is the most disturbing of all, particularly coming from Martin Luther King, Jr., whom I have come to lose respect for over the years, minus his immeasurable contributions to civil rights and equality among the races. Considering Sanger’s well-known racist agenda and ideology in creating Planned Parenthood, Barack Obama and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s endorsement of her are unconscionable.
Sanger wrote in Pivot of Civilization, “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.”
Trying to make sense of Obama’s appreciation for Sanger and abortion under these circumstances is almost impossible.

This is one very dangerous man.
He says "Men have the sense to know that they are helped by Planned Parenthood ... " so easily I wonder how many babies he's fathered but had killed for the sake of his own sexual freedom and irresponsibilty.
Men have the sense...etc?
I wonder if he ever had the sense to use birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies he's helped to make and abort?
Bravo, Amy, for being one of the few voices calling attention to this dangerous man and his inhumane, genocidal policy positions. He is for the death of black children; what then for all else?
Hardly anyone has taken up this cause as you have Amy - well done and please continue to raise awareness of Obama's genocidal efforts against America's black citizens.
I agree with Indigo Red.
Barack Obama is one really scrary, frightening dude!
Why doesn't the news media cover James Cone, whom Barack Obama's church is patterned after, and who said this:
“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community… Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”

Appalling attempt at a joke.
FYI, "Amy" is my friend from New Zealand. I always identify myself by first and last names or "AmyP".
Where to start? Amy, you've mis-characterized, you've misinterpreted, and mis-represented. Unfairly so, I might add, to an extreme. So, where to start? There are so many examples, where to start?
Oh, and might I add, Amy, your church is against the very birth control you recommend.
The candidate of change toes the party line yet again.

mmmm, Obama praising Sanger, huh? Didn't I hear Trent Lott praising someone too and being read the riot act?
I guess the concept of population control is beyond your scope.
excellent post...but you left out the fact that he also wants to leave the babies who survive abortion to die, left alone in a bucket or on a slab. and he promotes this.
this man is a monster who must never, ever, become president........
Now that is not an opinion, ghost, that is an outright lie.
Mudkitty, you need to get your facts straight. Obama promotes partial birth abortion and Planned Parenthood. 78% of PP's 'clinics' are in minority neighborhoods. 6% of America's people are black women, but they have 36% of all abortions in the US. She's right, he's dangerous.
Population control? Feel free to immigrate to Red China. This is the USA and we don't do 'population control'.
Johnny - since when have you ever cared about black people, or born women for that matter?
I'm sorry the concept of birth control, and population control, is over your head. That's sad. Sad for the whole world.
*****
As for partial birth abortion; it makes up less than 1% of all abortions, and still, I had a friend - actually the sister of a friend - with cancer, who developed cancer after she became pregnant with a very much wanted pregnancy. She had to have a late-term (7th month) abortion since the radiation that it took to save her life would have damaged the fetus. But evidently you guys only care about cells, and tissues, and not real, live, BORN, pregnant women.
All surgery is gruesome. Heart surgery is gruesome, brain surgery is gruesome, so don't even bother with that train of thought.
Since when have you, mudkitty? Johnny's record of charitable works goes beyond the average person. He's spent years going into city jails and ministering to most black men. We've taken children into our home who had bad home lives or were orphaned by AIDS. We've helped AIDS victims, the homeless... I'd suspect Johnny cares more about humanity than you.
Your partial birth story is still elective. She couldn't have waited another month for radiation? Don't buy it. Kill the baby in order to prevent "damage to the fetus"? You've just proved our point that it is a useless proceedure. Has your "friend" heard of a C-section?
I'm sorry that the concept of "the unborn are actually living beings" goes over your head. Medicine and science are just not on your side.
I don't understand why, rather than making a complete fool of yourself, you don't just say "I don't care if abortion kills a child, I think the mother's life is more important." Instead you come up with asinine statements which only prolong the necessity for you to use a psuedonym!
Great comments, Johnny.
No, she couldn't have waited another month for radiation. She had CANCER. Are you serious? A c-section would have made her cancer metastasize.
I won't say what you want me to say, Amy, because I don't believe it. I'm not going to say something that I don't believe is true. An unborn fetus is simply not a child. A child is a human that has been born. Call me crazy, but I think birth is a factor in humanity.
Also, I don't politically grandstand on my charitable works.
So mud, as long as the "fetus" is in the womb, its not a human being, right? So the premature baby that is born after 6 months of gestation is a human being but the late term abortion done to a baby in her 8th month is no big deal, after all, she's not human.
How can you sleep at night with that kind of twisted logic in your conscience?
It becomes a human being upon birth. Before birth, the born take precedence. Do you have a problem with the born? To compare a zygote or embryo to a human being is to trivialize human life itself. How can YOU sleep at night? It takes twisted logic to not take into consideration the rights of pregnant women, even the pregnant women who don't practice your religion.
I repeat, a fetus in the womb is not a human being. It may become a human being, but it is not a human being until it's born. The pregnant woman takes precedence. If it's a choice between a pregnant woman's life, and and an embryo, as is the case with, say, ectopic pregnancies, then what? Are you going to have a funeral for an embryo? Only a fanatic would advocate that.
I do not think anyone needs to add any comment. Mudkitty's remarks speak volumes for her.
Amy,
I appreciate your attempt to make people aware of how frightening the Barack Obama movement really is. What does he really stand for? No one seems to know, but everyone loves him, despite all of the negative things we continue to discover. Barack Obama keeps saying that he wants "change". That's great, so do I, but what kind of change are we talking about? The answer to that question (along with anything of substance) has been conveniently left out of his speeches. Hitler wanted change too, and look what that wrought on the world.
In any event, I agree that this country needs change, but probably not the kind Mr. Obama would like. Instead of looking for scapegoats to blame our current situation on (unborn babies, small town people, immigrants), I believe that his country needs to learn how to take responsibility for its actions. The generations that have followed World War II have been focused on instant gratification...they are the "me generations". Have an unwanted pregnancy? Abort it. Want a new motorcycle? Put it on credit. Have too much debt? Declare bankruptcy. Too heavy? Get liposuction. People have got to become more accountable for their decisions, or this country will continue to decline, no matter who occupies the oval office.
The 800 pound gorilla in the room that Americans do not want to hear? We put our own personal comfort ahead of everything else, and that will be our downfall.
Very thoughtful post, Paul. Good points.
Why thank you Johnny, I appreciate the nebulous endorsement.
Paul K - did you just figure this out?
i cant beleive how far the rnc would go to win this election.this is the most sick video i ever seem on gop roe vs wrap about abortion. lying showing abort,baby parts, part birth abortion and puting a picture of obama on the top of the topic. i was just horrifided.then a video with a white woman in a swimsuite that was a racist statement. what is wrong with this party saying out right lies. this is to get abortion right voters on the rnc side. this is crazy lying to blue collar white men about obama veiw.this abortion issue is every important but rnc to get voters in this party. but this is a sin before god to show pictures of this horrible nature. and why a white woman video with obama using the same old politican game the haterd for a black about white women the brady effect. i have only one thing to say to this sick abortion picture GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL DOING SOMETHING SO DISREPECTGUL TO THESE DEAD BABIES.
Both Hillary and Obama,talk about potential life, which means they are
not true christians. When God,created human life, it was not potential, it was fact. If I had to choose between Hillary,Obama,and McCain,then I choose not to vote for one one the three evils.Mccain, is a mermaid flip-flop neocon, you don't know which side he is on. Besides, why would the American people vote for these bashing one another presidents. Sounds like true unstable confidence to me. These half oath
leaders have no plans of protecting America, or the people. Vote for Mickey Mouse,at least he seems to be more genuine then these characters.
Why so much emphasis on the Presidential Candidates. The fact that 40-50 million women have chose abortion since 1973 in the US alone is a very real fact. White Republicans and Democrats and no blacks have held office at the top slot since then. 1.4 million in 2006 chose not carry to term, so maybe religion has not been effective and has failed, may the government caused this phenomenon, the Justices who voted to make it a legal right for women only.
Maybe instead of holding the potiential leaders accountable for the action women are taking, we should place a Scartlet letter on the women and parade them around town, that seem to work many centuries ago or not. This is ridiculous blaming one or two politicians then saying we as a nation need to take responsibility. I see so many people arguing Pro-life just to have an opposing view or just for the hell of it, and what does black theology have to do with this?
I did not/nor do not see a nation of churches,pastors, pro-lifers protesting on Washington when the 50th Million abortion was record by the census bureau. Where are the Christian masses to show their disdain for this "horrible sin"?. They stay at home or in the church consoling that young daughter who just had got pregnant and had an abortion maybe by an undesirable.
Unless and until men and women are given equal choice or abortions are illegal we all will see women exploit it this right, and do so not because it will harm there precious body but because they do not want to be mothers with the exception of cancer or something like that. Now you can check the facts on that one.
A scary black man or a clean wholesome white woman like Hilary or the devil is not responsible for these abortions or its potential. I cannot imagine that women and some men really believe this type of stuff Christian or not but I guess it happens. As far as planned parenthood, here again it teach choices and responsibility but does it really impact abortion? Overall the numbers say no. Killing babies maybe wrong or immoral or whatever, but watching this child be surrendered to the state (a system with "solid record of screw ups) or better yet bring more babies into the system is really great option...What do conservatives say about these babies that grow up to have more like them and drag the system. Hmmmh.Do you still want to save them or is it then too late allow your taxes to support the cycle of life.
You can like any person you want for president that is your liberty but let's be mature for once and discuss the real problem concerning abortion. It is not presidents or insensitive men or the man trying to hold you down "Glass ceiling" it is women.
Women should take this issue up with women because last I check Roe vs Wade made it and makes it very clear we (men, Barrack or Billary) will not determine that. I suggest you all get a petition and file a suit challenging Roe vs Wade and I for one as Proponent of equality would join that fight. When men are given the same right in this issue abortion rates will plummet down.
