BO and HC and MR and JMcC on abortion and other "culture of life or death" issues.

All yet to be really investigated or found already-investigated elsewhere. Somebody's got to have a chart done on all these new Presidential candidate/wannabees. Maybe this scorecard at NRLC can shed some preliminary light on at least those who are/have been recent Senators and Congressmen.

For the first life issue vote of the new (110th) Congress, Democrats Obama, Clinton, Dodd, Biden, Reid and Schumer voted in opposition of the pro-life position, while McCain voted in support. Santorum is gone, and it appears Brownback abstained or wasn't present to vote.

NRLC's Scorecard for the 109th Congress - U.S. Senate, votes on 4 key "life" issues:
1 - Funding of overseas pro-abortion organizations
2 - Funding of embryo-killing stem cell research (H.R. 810)
3 - Child Custody Protection Act (S. 403): passage
4 - Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA) (S. 403, as amended)

Brownback and Santorum: 100%
McCain: 75%
Reid: 50%
Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Dodd, Biden: 0%

I've read some of Obama's nice-sounding rhetoric, seems his record so far shows his true colors.

Two years ago, the 108th Congress U.S. Senate scored as follows on 11 key votes:
1 - Harkin Amendment to endorse Roe v. Wade
2 - Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act: Boxer Motion
3 - Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act: Feinstein Substitute
4 - Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003: passage
5 - Abortion in military medical facilities
6 - Funding of overseas pro-abortion organizations ("Mexico City Policy")
7 - Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003
8 - Medicare Modernization Act: critical procedural vote
9 - Medicare Modernization Act: passage
10 - Feinstein Substitute Amendment (single-victim substitute)
11 - Unborn Victims of Violence Act: passage

Brownback and Santorum: 100%
McCain: 82%
Reid: 55%
Biden: 17%
Clinton, Dodd, Edwards: 0% (Obama wasn't in yet)

So much for Clinton's "moderate" rhetoric.


More on Hillary: "On abortion, 'she's always been for legal, safe and rare...'" (originally at this Yahoo News site, thanks to the Web Archive.

And more on Hillary.

And still more...

PLUS:
"Obama...opposed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act— a no-brainer to vote for, pro-life or pro-choice..."

"Romney...oppos[es] efforts to clone human life..."

"...a Vanity Fair article was released portraying McCain as indifferent to issues like abortion and marriage."

"In a short-lived 2000 Senate race, [Giuliani] refused to oppose partial-birth abortion, but in 2006 he campaigned for pro-life stalwart Rick Santorum (ex-senator from Pennsylvania)."

"I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion...[many are] aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and [do] not doubt that it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace...You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child..."

FREEDOM OF RELIGION, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS NOTICES: From its inception in 2005 forward, the postings on this site are the co-bloggers' own personal opinions, observations and research, do not reflect or represent the views of any employer(s), past, present or future, nor do/will they relate in any manner to said employer(s) or their businesses at any point in time. The writings expressed herein are protected expression by virtue of the First Amendment of the United States of America and by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in particular Articles 18 and 19, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948:

1) The First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

"The Free Exercise Clause reserves the right of American citizens to accept any religious belief and engage in religious rituals. The wording in the free-exercise clauses of state constitutions that religious “[o]pinion, expression of opinion, and practice were all expressly protected” by the Free Exercise Clause.[1] The clause protects not just religious beliefs but actions made on behalf of those beliefs. More importantly, the wording of state constitutions suggest that “free exercise envisions religiously compelled exemptions from at least some generally applicable laws.”[2] The Free Exercise Clause not only protects religious belief and expression; it also seems to allow for violation of laws, as long as that violation is made for religious reasons."

2) Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948, states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

3) Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
