I was reading thru the transcript of Obama’s speech at Notre Dame, and I came across this quote:
Let’s provide care and support for women who do carry their children to term.

Pres Obama did not say “carry their fetuses to term”, or blob of cells, or whatever term abortion supporters use for the unborn. He used the word “children”.

I think that is big, and I think the pro life movement should really start using this and quote it back to Pres Obama and all abortion supporters constantly.

That is really something.

Note for those who actually follow the link: you’ll need to select page 2 of the article to see the quote (I missed it at first).

Thank you, Brooklyn, for further underscoring our president’s indefensible position on the plight of unborn children—the poorest of the poor.

Yes, this is big, and I, at least, will point this out to my friends and family members who support Obama and incorrectly believe abortion to be simply one issue in a sea of issues. All issues are NOT created equal. Some issues possess more weight than others. Abortion—for this Catholic—is the heaviest!

Peace of Christ

They’re promoted from blob to baby when the mother decides to bear her child to term.

Otherwise, they remain a mere product of conception (and what else would a product of conception be?)
 
Obama does this a lot - contradicts himself. He did it at least once in his first interview with CBS after his election (that’s when I knew we were in trouble), and I hear him do it all the time.
 
There was a letter in my hometown paper yesterday in which the writer spoke of being Catholic and went on to say abortion was just one issue among many. The writer also said that Mr. Obama was a moral and decent person who was doing the right thing on all the other issues.

Whenever I read Catholics who will allow abortion to become just one of many issues, I know why we are losing the culture wars. We have met the enemy and he is us.

Correction - “we are losing the culture wars… for now.” 😉

Eventually God makes everything right.
 
If you think that is something check out his father Day’s speech when he was running for office last year…

“But we also need families to raise our children. We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child - it’s the courage to raise one.”

Notice: Fatherhood is started at the moment of conception not when the baby is born.

We need a MUCH smaller Church.
 
What O says and what O does are completely different things. Fun to know but not really anything pro-life can use.

Indeed. Child and fetus are synonymous. The use of the term “fetus” has long been used rhetorically to depersonalize the unborn child. The word, of course, is simply Latin for off-spring or child, but the average person thinks it is a medical term, where it is really just a term of art used for
the unborn after it assumes a shape similar to that of the adult. Lati8nate words, of course, always sound more abstract. Judge John Noonan–the man who spoke at Notre Dame but was ignored by the press–once used the term gravidas for the pregnant woman throughout a book against the abortion law just to make a point.
