I’ve been hammering the Obamessiah on this one for a couple of weeks now, since I first found out about his shameful position. His position is so radical that even Planned Parenthood doesn’t support it!

The “when does life begin?” question wasn’t always above his pay grade….

I know, you’re all shocked. It’s like the sun actually rises in the East. That’s how crazy this revelation is. Well, Don Surber was able to ferret out this little……

“Sen. Obama, Could you be more vague?”
Obama can try to spin it anyway he wants. His voting record in Illinois shows that he voted against the babies that survived after abortion procedures.

The only question I have is for Obama,
“When does he feel that a child is a child?”

He certainly doesn’t think its conception being pro-choice. He does not feel it is after birth due to his vote. So is it 1 hour later? Is it a day after birth? Does a 5 year old have any rights or can you still decide to “abort” them, too?

Personally, life starts at conception and an abortion survivor being left to die is beyond anything I can put into words.

It could be that when Barack Obama says that question of when life begins is ‘above his pay grade’, he means has has to refer the question to his boss, George Soros.

As for me, I look at the question is two part, biological and legal.

The biological answer to when life begins is at conception. The moment prior to your conception there was no you, then in an instant there was a unique indivdual. This is simple biology Then maybe biology is too distracting for BO.

The legal question is at what point in the human lifecycle are legal rights recognized. The question of personhood. As the federal constitution does not address the legal quetion of personhood, via the Ninth Amendment, the power to resolve that legal question is left to the People, of which I am one.

There is no question of when life begins, only a biological fact. The question of personhood by the Constitution is given to the People to decide. Neither question is above the pay grade of a citizen, unless they taking orders from George Soros.

Above his pay grade? Or above his mental level?

Just before people babble the nonsense they need to babble to make a liberal position look good, it seems unavoidable that complicated things are made to look simple, or simple things are made to look complicated. This, I think, would be an example of the second of those two.
