Thoughts on the Notre Dame Speech

Nat Hentoff's Analysis:

An Obama I Can't Believe In, Yet [click to read] in Jewish World Review points out that:

"President Obama's Notre Dame speech on abortion was applauded by the mainstream media, quoting his call for more "open hearts, open minds, fair-minded words." But except for the pro-life, and some conservative forums, there was no mention of Obama's omission of his own documented, chilling record on abortion that proves what he also said on that Sunday."

The fact that Senator Obama repeatedly resisted the Born Alive Protection Act [voting against it three times] and vowed to strip Conscience Protection from medical workers shows that his heart and mind are firmly set with those who oppose the Pro-Life position.

The record also shows that he clearly promised a 'litmus test' for judicial nominees. Speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, he stated: "With one more vacancy on the Supreme Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a woman's fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade. The next president may be asked to nominate that Supreme Court justice."

I once designed a logo for a Pregnancy Help Center using Dogwood flowers. The connection has stuck in my mind ever since.
