Obama At Notre Dame on Abortion: The Great Contradiction


The invitation of President Barack Obama to Notre Dame is a lesson in America's tumble into moral ambiguity. Popular culture is making truth relative. Standing on moral grounds has become the behavior of an extremist, in the eyes of the Left. Having dialogue and a diversity of opinion to them means allowing evil into our Christian institutions, and silencing anyone who rejects murder and perverted behavior as acceptable, normal life decisions.

There are some things that you can't have dialogue on. Child killing is one of those issues on the top of the list. Abortion during any time of a pregnancy, partial-birth abortion, and infanticide, which is a procedure that permits the destruction of a living child after he or she survives the attempt to kill it in an abortion, deserve no dialogue.

However, Notre Dame's president, Father John Jenkins, and President Barack Obama, believes that dialogue must be opened regarding the issue of abortion.

Killing children before they have a chance to move on to the next developmental stage of life is not something that can be compromised on. There is no middle ground.

Either, the unborn child is a living baby, or it is a blob of tissue.

If it is a blob of tissue, then for the Left, the argument should end there.

Obama, however, stated that even though he is pro-choice, he believes that the number of abortions should be lessened. Specifically, Obama said, "So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions. Let’s reduce unintended pregnancies. Let’s make adoption more available. Let’s provide care and support for women who do carry their children to term."

If abortion is good, if the child inside of the mother is nothing more than a lifeless blob that won't be missed, and is dispensable, then why seek to reduce the number of abortions? Obama, in an attempt to appeal to both sides of the debate, crossed himself. By declaring that the number of abortions should be lessened, he is declaring that abortions are a bad thing. If they are a bad thing, then the question must be asked, "Why are abortions a bad thing."

They must be a bad thing - Obama has stated that the number of abortions must be reduced.

The argument by pro-abortion activists is that the fetus is not a child. It is simple the property of the mother that can be disposed of at will.

If the fetus is not a child, then why the concern to lower the abortion numbers, Mr. Obama?

Obama's declaration that the number must be reduced is an admittance that the practice of killing children in the womb is evil.

But it goes farther.

If the mother has the decision to dispose of the child, or carry it to term, this places the mother in a position of ownership over the child. The child no longer has the individual right to live, using this logic, meaning that the right to live belongs to the mother.

The baby's rights are owned by the mother.

You would think that an African-American like Obama would be opposed to one human's rights being owned by another human, considering his heritage as a Black, which directly links him to the issue of the history of American Slavery.
