Today I use my blog title as the heading for this entry.
After my class this evening, my distaste (for lack of a better word or rather for some sense of professionalism), for Barack Obama has only escalated. I have strayed as much as possible to keep this blog from becoming political, although I'm sure it's no surprise where I stand. I think I have had few moments in my life where I have been as disgusted, distrubed, and shooken up as I currently feel.
As we discussed abortion tonight and the ways that laws and regulations have been altered over the years, I was read a quote from Obama himself, announcing that his first task once in office, will be to remove ALL abortion restrictions that currently exist. One of these restrictions was passed in 2003 which declared that Partial Birth Abortion would be outlawed.
Once Obama signs for this to go to Congress (which thanks to the overflow of Democrats will pass) ALL RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION will be removed.
For those of you who do not know what a partial birth abortion actually entails, I will spare you the details. Wikipedia it or send me an email if you feel so inclined. However, I will not be broadcasting such an awful procedure on my blog.
I am disturbed. I don't know a better way to put it. I don't agree with basically anything Obama has to say... but I had been so focused on his views of socialism and "change" I didn't seem to realize how much change I really could believe in. Oh he's changing this country, alright.
So yes, this blog is written to life. Written for all the precious lives that will be lost because of a so called choice that our soon to be President will not only allow, but feels so strongly about it that it's the first change he plans to make. This 'choice' is not whether you want the child or not. Rather the choice takes place long before the moment of conception even occurs. The choice is whether you will engage in sexual intercourse or not.
I feel so sick inside for the way this world is becoming.

i agree with you completely.
ash i felt SO sick after i read your post. i didn't know that obama's "changes" included lifting these restrictions. i had to read about these different forms of abortion just last year and it just makes me cry to know that this evil exists in the world.
Well said, Ashley.
Sorry to intrude on your blog...I saw the link on your facebook page and decided to click on it. Yep, I'm a facebook/blog stalker. Sorry about that.
