On August 16, 2008, at the Saddleback Civil Forum, Barrack Obama was asked what he viewed as America’s “greatest moral failure.” He replied,
Obama is referencing the verse Matthew 25:40 in the Bible. Here is the verse in its entirety:"I think America’s greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we
still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me. And notion of — that basic principle applies to poverty. It applies to racism and sexism. It applies to, you know,
not having — not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class. I mean, there is a pervasive sense I think that this country is wealthy and powerful as we still don’t spend enough time thinking about the least of these." - Barack Obama
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of theThis verse is actually taken from a call-to-action Jesus gave to the Christian church in the passage Matthew 25: 31-46. Jesus is asking his followers to protect the weakest members of their society, because by doing so, they honoring God. In Obama’s interview, he is using this verse to refer to the socio-economically lower class. But, would not the “least of our brethren” also most certainly include the life of an innocent, defenseless, voiceless baby???
least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” – Matthew 25:40
Obama does not seem to think so...
When it comes to Infanticide
An “induced labor abortion” or “live birth abortion” is the abortion practice where a mother is induced into premature labor and shortly thereafter delivers a dead baby, BUT if the baby survives this procedure and is born ALIVE the infant is simply left to die, often left alive in a soiled utility room... this is infanticide.
Jill Stanek, a registered nurse who worked at the Chicago Christ Hospital, explains “Induced Labor Abortion” on the Bill O’Reilly Show -
Live birth abortion is the reason for the introduction of the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act.” The bill defined that “a live child born as a result of an abortion” should be recognized as a “human person” and thus be given “immediate protection under the law” and “all measures consistent with good medical practice” to “preserve the life and health of the child.” The legislation was called the “Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act.”
Why the Born Alive Infant Protection Act was Needed –
** Baby Rowan vs. Dr. Pendergast **
“They were telling her to leave it… to leave it in the hallway … and let it die.”
... Obama Chooses Death... every single time.
As an Illinois State Senator, Barrack Obama was presented 3 seperate times with the opportunity to support legislation that would have put a stop to this infanticide by voting for an Illinois-version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, but each time, Obama killed the legislation. Not only did Obama vote against it, he criticized and denounced the legislation on the Senate floor. He voted against the protection act in both 2001, and then again in 2002. He voted “no” in both committee hearings, and voted “present” and “no” at the Senate votes. Barack Obama was the only senator to ever speak against it the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
Listen to audio of Obama on the Senate floor in 2002 and his criticism of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that to require doctors to provide medical care to a baby born as a result of a botched abortion would be too “burdensome” for the mother. Providing medical care to an innocent baby is not “burdensome”; to refuse medical care to a baby fighting to live in the hopes that the tiny infant will die… is infanticide. Obama has complete and utter disregard for the innocent baby who has just been ripped from his mother’s protective wound, and is now struggling to breath, struggling to live, suffering. Babies feel pain. But this is how cold-blooded and ruthless Senator Obama is...

In 2003, a similar bill, SB 1082, passed before the Illinois Health Committee that Obama chaired. He voted against it, again. Obama claimed that it lacked specific “neutrality language” and claimed it “undermined Roe vs. Wade” – which really all “neutrality language" means is a redundant reaffirming, over and over again, that the bill only applies to infants already born, and does not grant rights to the unborn. So the Republicans in the committee added a “neutrality clause”, essentially making the bill identical to a Federal Born-Alive Infant Protection Act passed by overwhelmingly by both political parties in 2002 (which had even been approved by the most liberal members of Congress, including senators Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer).

The amendment to Senate Bill 1082, was voted on by Obama and the committee and they unanimously approved replacing the initial section that stated: “…a live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law…”
...with the following to give it a "neutral clause"...
“Nothing in this Section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being born alive as defined in this Section.”

Here is a comparison made between the federally-passed Born Alive Infant Protection Act and the Illinois version. They are nearly identical; the only areas of difference in wording are inconsequential to the actual mandates of either bill. Nevertheless, Obama prevented the bill from getting past his committee.

So, at what point does a baby get human rights, Senator Obama?
Warren: At what point does a baby get human rights, in your
view?”
Obama: Well, I think that whether you’re looking at it from a
theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that
question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.” (8/16/2008)

Considering Obama’s steadfast refusal to support any legislation in the Illinois senate guaranteeing human rights to babies who are born alive, and his opposition to babies receiving medical care and essentially an endorsement of infanticide, plus his refusal to be forthcoming on even so much as an opinion for when a baby should be afforded human rights… It must be asked of Barack Obama, how does he view a baby? Does he value God’s most precious gift to us as humans – the miracle of life - the life of a baby as a human being with a right to live and pursue a purpose and path in life? Will Obama protect the most innocent and defenseless among us – the tiny, unwanted infant?
Perhaps Rick Warren should have asked Obama at what point Obama’s two girls got their human rights. It certainly would have been an interesting answer to hear, to be sure.
But here’s another telling statement made by Barack Obama revealing his value for human life –
No, Senator Obama, a baby is NOT a punishment. A baby is a blessing, and a baby is the “least of our brothers”…
… and as such, they need and deserve our care and our protection. Sen. Obama, meet Elora, born prematurely at 24-weeks, and a miracle survivor.
Meet Gianna Jessen… survivor of a failed abortion. Her mother attempted to abort her in a Planned Parenthood clinic by saline abortion, which by design, burns the unborn baby alive – inside and out. Gianna lives with, as she calls it, the “gift” of cerebral palsy as a result of the attempted abortion.
Here is her powerful testimony…

** Now, it is with a very heavy heart that I include these photos. I don’t want to. It turns my stomach. I can barely stand to look at them. But it must be shown that what pro-abortionists are calling a “ball of cells” and refer to as in a dehumanizing medical term, fetus, is so much more than that, it is a tiny human baby, with a tiny beating heart… made plainly evident for all to see in these photos. I have limited it to 4 photos of babies aborted at varying ages of development, and methods of abortion. I am sorry.
Sen. Obama, meet America's tiniest victims – its abortion victims:

Burned alive by saline abortion @ 22-weeks old.Obama Calls Abortion Survivors "Liars"
Well, Gianna Jessen had a message for Barack Obama (and America)...
Note that the ad specifically states her message was not endorsed by any candidate; nevertheless, Obama replied with an attack ad on her and Senator McCain (even though McCain had nothing to do with the ad). Obama called the abortion survivor's message, a “sleazy ad” and a "despicable lie." Is Obama actually whining about him being attacked and dirty campaigning in what is the most despicable campaign ad ever aired? Look in the mirror, Obama. What is despicable is you as a presidential candidate who has already voted four times against legislation that would save millions of babies born alive like Gianna, now attacking one abortions few survivors by calling her life's story a "despicable lie." This is disgusting, repulsive and beneath contempt for a United States presidential candidate. Gianna is a courageous survivor and a living miracle who would not be with us today if Obama’s policies had been in place when she was born. Does Obama actually wish she had died? Because she is forcing him to answer some very tough questions.
Obama’s attacks abortion survivor Gianna Jessen -
Barack Obama, again, on August 16, 2008, in an interview with David Brody, CBN news correspondent, when asked why he voted against a Born Alive Infant Protection act, Obama called his critics "liars," stating:
“And I hate to say that people are lying, but here's a situation where folksVideo - http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/429328.aspx
are lying. I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported - which was to say --that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born - even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion. That was not the bill that was presented at the state level. What that bill also was doing was trying to undermine Roe vs. Wade.” – Barack Obama, 8/16/2008
So, for the reader’s convenience, the side-by-side comparison of the SB 1082 (2003) that Obama voted against, and the federally-approved Born-Alive legislation, will be posted again here. (Highlighted Yellow = wording in the approved Federal bill wording; Pink = defeated Illinois Senate bill) -
http://www.nrlc.org/obamaBAIPA/2003AmendedILBAIPAandFedBAIPA.html
Obama lied about abortion and infanticide -
The bills are identical.
… So now, you know, who the real liar is…
... That’s Barack Obama for you.
The Least of Our Brothers
The passage Obama referenced in Matthew 25, when he spoke of caring for “the least of my brothers” is a wonderful passage in which Jesus calls upon Christians to care for and protect the weakest among them. In Barack Obama’s one-track narrow-minded view, he only considers it referring to the socio-economically disadvantaged, and uses it to promote his socialist design on America.
“If abortion were merely about women’s rights… then what were mine? There was not a radical feminist standing up and yelling about how my rights were being violated that day, in fact my life was being snuffed out – in the name of women’s rights.”
“I would not have cerebral palsy had I not survived all of this, So when I hear the appalling, disgusting argument that we should have abortions because the child just might be disabled … the horror that fills my heart. Ladies and gentleman, there are things that you will only be able to learn by the weakest among us. And when you snuff them out, YOU are the
one that loses, the Lord looks after them, but you are the one that will suffer forever.” - Gianna Jessen, abortion survivor
But when asked when does he determine that a baby gets human rights, well that is "above [his] pay grade." What Barack Obama fails to recognize is that it is the babies who are the “least” among us… they are the least recognized, the least cared for, and the least protected.
But God honors their life, He honors their existance even while in a mother’s womb, and He makes it clear in his holy word, the Bible.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" - Psalm 139:13-16
"The word of the LORD came to me,
saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the
nations." - Jeremiah 1:4-5
"Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God." -Psalm 22:9-10
While Barack Obama and women’s rights fanatics are quick to defend womens rights, they fail to recognize a baby’s rights... the right to life. But to appreciate a baby’s right to life one must appreciate who the architect of this baby’s life is… God. We are more than a jumble of cells conveniently working together in synchrony like the springs and wheels and gears of a clock by the design of God; God also gave life to our "jumble of cells." God gave our body life when He breathed the “breath of life” into our nostrils (Genesis 2:7). We are more than animals, because we have been given souls. It is because of our souls, that we question who we are, what our purpose in life and on Earth is, and we wonder whether we are alone in our vast universe. The animals do not ponder such things, at least they do not seem to as we do not observe them questioning the world around them and seeking out answers to these sorts of questions… they simply survive as God has innately given them the instinct to do, but we humans, we think and we contemplate about our own existence. And we do so, because it is the soul we are created to be longing to know who its creator is, and that creator is God.
Pro-abortionists deliberately and callously downplay the significance of an unborn baby by calling it a “fetus”, a ball of cells. A human baby, born or unborn, is not simply a ball of cells with nails and tiny organs – it is a soul. It is the soul of a human being. It is a soul separates a human baby from the animal kingdom, and therefore, it is these most precious of souls – innocent, pure, harmless, and defenseless – who are most deserving and most needing our protection under the law of the land. One might look at a pregnant mother and only see one person, but truly they are looking at two independent souls connected in the miraculous generation of life. As a human life, born and unborn babies must be afforded the same God-given inalienable right to the pursuit of life as those of us who are fortunate enough to make it our birth date are guaranteed to us under the Constitution of the United States. Regardless of whether a mother ever “wanted” or “planned” for her baby, it is not her decision to make whether to kill or preserve her baby’s life, because this would inherently mean that one human being in fact can have ownership/possession over the life and livelihood of another human being… an unseen, unheard, unborn baby. So in what way is this premise of ownership any different from the premise of slavery, which America fought a bloody civil war over to free itself of? Allowing abortions to be tolerated in America is the equivalent of tolerating slavery in America. A baby must be granted the same rights constitutionally as any other individual. All life must be valued, even those that cannot speak for themselves – the goodness and potential of a human life must be defended. It is not up to us to determine who should be permitted to enjoy life or see death. That is God’s decision to make. Because a baby is truly the “least among us” they require our protection under the law.
"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked" - Psalm 82:3-4
All the Nations Will Be Gathered Before Him
The passage in Matthew 25 that Obama referenced when he preaching about caring for the “least among us” is also prefaced with a warning.
Jesus begins it by telling us when He returns “seated on his throne in heavenly glory” on Judgment day and “all the nations will be gathered before him,” and it is made abundantly clear HE is the one true, and living God… that “he will separate the people, one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” -Matthew 25:31
The verse immediately following the verse Obama referenced, states “He will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” - Matthew 25:41
And the entire passage closes with, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Then they will go away to eternal punishment” and “the righteous to eternal life.” -Matthew 25:45-46
Our nation's next leader should know this passage, because this is a stern warning, not just to the individual, but to the leaders of the land. Jesus states “all the nations [will be] gathered before him”, indicating God is also concerned with what a nation does to protect the “least” of their brethren. Here is another verse showing God is concerned with the conduct of a nation...
“If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will hear their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14
Vote for Life… It is NOT above your pay grade
It is not our job, nor our place, to judge a man. But it is our duty to question whether our leaders are truly representing the values of God. As much as our liberal friends on the left squirm to hear this, America was founded as a God-fearing, Christian nation. Our Declaration of Independence declares:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”- United States Declaration of Independence. Ratified July 4, 1776.
And it is these Christian principles, upon which the Constitution was founded, which has sustained the freedoms we enjoy in this land. This Constitution has protected the freedoms to follow other religions as well, or no religion at all, but most importantly, it has sustained us and made us the greatest nation on Earth. But it’s most basic tenet, the right to life, is in jeopardy if Sen. Obama denies a baby who born into the world not of her choosing, but by the choosing of an abortionist and her mother, and is denied the medical care that would have been afforded to a “wanted” baby. It flies in the face of Christian doctrine, yet Obama touts himself as a Christian. But it is hard to see how a man can assert himself as a man of Christian faith when he coldly refuses to “defend … [and]… rescue the weak and the fatherless” or “maintain the rights… of the oppressed”(Psalm 82:3-4). Interestingly, Obama so vehemently defends his claim to be Christian that he has even deployed his Obama “Truth Squads” – local sheriffs and law enforcement, and district attorneys -- to “target” critics who “lie” (a.k.a. question) Obama’s Christianity…
Obama “Truth Squad” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIenDGSAdPA
Quote from an Obama “Truth Squad” enforcer: “Somebody’s got to step up and say that’s not true, THIS is the truth.”
Well, God has a reply for the Obama’s “Truth Squad,” and it is John 14:6:
“Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life… If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.” – John 14:6-7
And this final thought should be closed out with another promise Jesus made to us, “No one comes to the Father, except through me.” (John 14:6) This means, God loves us enough that even despite our sinful being, He sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay for our sins and spend three days in Hell only to conquer death by rising back up from the dead. He did all this for us, so that our sins which were preventing us from entering Heaven would be atoned for. Now we can spend eternity with Him in Heaven if we accept His sacrifice. It is not our good deeds that will earn us a ticket into Heaven because all the good deeds in the world will not wipe away a single spot of sin, so Jesus sacrificed so much for us so that now we simply need to acknowledge and acceptance His sacrifice to spend eternity with our Father in Heaven.
What is at stake this election…
*** Please choose Life. ***
Because every baby is a blessing, and thus should be a protected baby.
