Obama Regrets Abortion Answer
By Don September 7, 2008
In an interview aired on ABC's "This Week" Barack Obama says he probably was too flip with his answer to an abortion question posed by Pastor Rick Warren.
From the Politico.
Barack Obama says his answer about abortion at the Saddleback Church forum was probably” too flip.During separate televised interviews last month, Pastor Rick Warren asked the two presidential candidates when a baby gets human rights. Obama replied that the question is “above my pay grade,” while John McCain won love from the right by saying quickly, “At the moment of conception.”Now, Obama tells ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview taped for “This Week”: “What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into … It's a pretty tough question. And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions.”
To most observers Obama did fare poorly at the Saddleback Forum and raised doubts about his ability to speak effectively off the cuff rather than from a teleprompter.
I will try to find this video and watch it. I am very curious about the pause in this sentence - "I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into … It's a pretty tough question."
When the soul enters into .....what? What word would you put there? Why can't he finish a sentence?
9/11/08 p.s. I watched the video and you could see him struggle to avoid the dead end he was driving into. The pause was filled by George S. who threw in Augustine. Obama agreed with him but they are both on bad theological ground. Just as Nancy Pelosi - it was the same pit she fell into. But Archbishop Chaput is giving her a lifeline
Because he believes in killing babies! It is hard to find the right words to say that and still have people think you are wonderful and the "Messiah". A "women's right to choose" sounds so much better than killing an innocent baby!
