Obama often criticizes policies that place the interests of the powerful ahead of the powerless. But through his administration's support of abortion rights Obama shows his lack of empathy for society's most powerless.

However we might oppose it abortion is a sad feature of modern life.

I for one respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.

It doesn't make any difference what religion you are or how young you are or how old you are-if they go to these abortion mills and stand there and pray-that would make a lot of difference.

A majority perhaps as many as 75 percent of abortion clinics are in areas with high minority populations. Abortion apologists will say this is because they want to serve the poor. You don't serve the poor however by taking their money to terminate their children.

Informed consent is required for every invasive medical procedure from getting your ears pierced to having an abortion.
