Obama at Saddleback
Keep in mind, those of you who watch and care about such things — when Obama appears at Saddleback church to answer prepared questions about, well, nothing substantial — the media will be talking about the church itself. They will talk about the “evangelical” church. They will talk about Saddleback being a “Southern Baptist” church. But it’s very unlikely you will hear about Obama’s MASSIVE support of abortion for anyone at any time, for any reason. And this church, Saddleback, will be supporting Obama by having these conversations.
Folks, Obama is incredibly pro-death. He honestly believes that by NOT killing babies that you are being punished. And Saddleback church, while claiming to be Southern Baptist and evangelical, simply won’t care. If you care about babies and are pro-life, you cannot support either Obama or Saddleback church.

To answer this question we must critically look at both sides of the argument, the details of the process itself, and understand how we arrived at this point.
