One’s views on abortion are a product of one’s beliefs; it is just as wrong to prohibit abortion as it is to force it on people, as they are now doing in China. It is not a decision to be made by others for the woman. It is moral to be pro-choice, even if you are vehemently opposed to the concept of abortion.

“The Democrat candidates are criticizing each other’s campaign tactics, when they should be focusing on the Democrat Party’s embrace of elective abortion.”

You’re right. We should look to the Republicans’ wise choice to focus on their own stellar performance with the budget, and on the military front in lieu of trashing the opposition as an example to follow.

In your zeal to disparage Hillary Clinton, do not praise Barack Obama. Repeating an entire speech with a handful of words changed *is* in fact plagiarism, whether the other party condones it or not. Especially when you do not acknowlege the original source. I’d get my papers handed back to me at college for doing that.

And let’s also not pretend like Obama is an innocent victim of the Hillary Clinton war machine. Obama has his own minions who make a simple historical observation (that LBJ actually signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law) into a race scandal. It’s not as though Mr. Obama shares a different view of the abortion issue than Hillary Clinton does either. Rather than defending Obama against Hillary Clinton, we should be saying, “Shame on you, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and your entire Democratic party”

Good points Mr. Roberts, but having already eliminated HRC from my list, I’m considering the Obama positions as follows:

With all this talk coming from B. H. Obama, I decided that I wanted to understand the key word of his movement a little better and this is what I found.

My MSWord thesaurus shows that the synonyms for Change are alter, modify, vary, transform, revolutionize, adjust, and amend; with one listing of an antonym which is maintain.

This confirmed my brainstorm that change means revolution, so I went back to the thesaurus.

It also shows the synonyms for Revolution to be rebellion, revolt, uprising, upheaval, insurgency, insurrection, mutiny, and riot.

Considering the great improvements in the standard of living since my grandparents came to the USA in 1903, and even the conditions since my youth, I selected one word that I find the most desirable and that is “maintain”. I was attracted to the words “alter, modify, vary, transform, adjust, and amend” but only in the sense that any change be implemented very cautiously, tested, and only after the “law of unintended consequences” is satisfied may we adopt any “Change”.

My question to Senator Obama is “The Change you speak of, would this be “Permanent Change” or “Change in One Country”?

If the Senator is as learned as his supporters proclaim he will understand the question. If not, a follow up could refer him to the concept of Permanent Revolution developed and followed by Marx/Lenin/Trotsky and the Socialism in One Country concept of Bukharin/Stalin.
