Interview with Obama Supporters
I interviewed several Obama supporters the night of the Obama Rally in Portsmouth, Ohio on October 9, 2008. The topic of Abortion seems to make everybody a little aggressive!
Interview with Todd Book
Interview with State Rep. Todd Book on Presidential Candidate Barack Obama’s commitment to the rights and dignity of the unborn child. This was recorded at the Obama Rally in Portsmouth, Ohio on October 9, 2008.
What about the rights of the unborn?
The headlines have been full this year with complaints of “rights” being infringed upon. It’s amazing to me how certain groups in our society will rise up with pity to protest perceived “cruel and unusual punishment”, “racism”, or “gay-rights” violations, but are deathly silent when barbaric acts of abortion are being inflicted upon thousands of humans on a daily basis. How can America justify this type of torture?
If a lack of awareness is the reason for this justification, let me describe some of the abortion methods that are used. The first method is called vacuum aspiration.(1) It is where a hollow plastic tube with a sharp tip is inserted into the uterus with an aspirator attached that tears the body of the baby apart and suctions the pieces through the tube. Another method is a Dilation and Evacuation (2), where forceps are used to forcibly dismember the baby and the pieces are removed one by one. When the skull is too big it is crushed in order to pass through the birth canal.
Over 1.2 million abortion procedures were performed in 2005. (3) That is over 3,000 abortions per day. Can you imagine the outrage if these medical procedures were attempted on somebody that is gay or a minority? Would we see interventions from our Governor and the federal courts? Would we get a call from the ACLU to end this uncivilized process? You bet! When will the rights of the unborn child be recognized here in America?
Letter to the Editor

Align yourself with God, not politicians
How many letters to the editor do we have to see time and time again placing the name of Christ along beside their distorted political agendas —praising Obama for his glorious efforts to save America. Barrack Obama takes Christ’s name in vain every time he opens his mouth. By claiming to be a “Christian” as so many do (who are not, according to the Bible), people assume his actions are believed to be acceptable in the Word of God. Yet he denies Christ as the only way to Heaven (John 14:6) trying to bring all faiths together (serving Buddha is not gonna get you in). He continually makes time to praise all faiths and their spiritual celebrations yet has not stepped foot inside a house of God he claims to serve since becoming president.
As for his issues on national health care (covetousness) taking from the rich and giving to the needy, sorry folks Robin Hood was not an apostle of Christ. While it is our “duty” to help the poor, taking without asking is not acceptable by God. If you have convictions over other government-controlled programs and don’t think they line up with the commandments of God, either don’t use them or fight against them. Using evil to justify evil does not make it okay.
Abortion, Obama is the most pro-murder of infants president to ever be in office, Exodus 20:13 “Thou shalt not kill.” Some will say he is not the pastor of America, he is the president, as Obama has already said in his run for senator against Alan Keys. James 4:4 “. . . the friendship of the world is enmity (hatred) with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” We are so easy to put our trust in a man (Obama) who prostitutes the name of God out only when it suits his needs as many of so-called Christians do. You cannot serve God and be a friend to the world, not “my words” folks that is from the Word of God. The one you and Obama claim to serve. If your life aligns itself this way, you are God’s enemy. There is no such thing as a liberal (carnal) Christian, you are lying to yourself.
Global warming, there is going to be global warming; the Word of God assures us of that (Rev. 20:9). Matthew 25:35, “Heaven and earth shall pass way, but my words shall not pass way.” Stop looking to men and government to satisfy your life here, look to scriptures and the ways of him who created you for he will be your judge. Barrack Obama is “not” a Christian, he does not serve God faithfully. Why do you think he will serve you? If you want to support Barrack then do so, but do not try to align God and the evilness of man together. Check yourself, compare yourself with scriptures. Are you serving the god you want or the God who is?

Same White House: Different Worldviews
As we rapidly approach January 20th, Inauguration Day for President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama, I am reminded for one last time on how different the next fours years are going to be in Washington. On Thursday this past week, as one of his final acts, President George Walker Bush declared that this Sunday, January 18th, as the “National Sanctity of Human Life Day”. The proclamation declares that “All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection”. Bush stated that on this day our country will recognize that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world. He also stated that the basic duty of the government is to protect innocent life. Our incoming president has already admitted that it is above his pay grade when asked when a baby starts getting human rights, but stated that “equality is a moral imperative” for gay and lesbian Americans.
President Bush has been disrespected by the public and the media so much, but in reality he has made significant progress for the pro-life agenda. In 2002, he signed into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which provides legal protection to a baby that survives an abortion attempt. Obama opposed this law. In 2003, President Bush signed legislation to ban the cruel practice of partial-birth abortion. Obama and his wife Michelle are against this ban. She stated in a letter that she wrote in 2004 that this ban is unconstitional and must be overturned. Obama voted to allow partial-birth abortion. In 2004, Bush signed into law the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, also known as the “Laci and Connor’s Law”, (it recognizes unborn children as victims when they are injured or killed during the commission of federal or military crimes of violence). These are just to name a few of the many actions he took as a pro-life president. (See his pro-life record)
You may have disagreed with many of the hard decisions made by President Bush, but we cannot trivialize the pro-life progress that his administration has made in the last eight years. I hope in the next four years the progress that has been made does not get ripped up by the new administration. There is already over 60 pro-abortion groups sending their “wish list” to Obama. Even though Obama has made it clear in his voting record and verbally that he supports abortion, we must still pray that he will see the errors of his past and not continue to give in to the pro-abortion agenda. We must start now to uphold him in prayer and hope that he will seek God’s wisdom as he leads our country. It is never to late to change.
I personally want to thank President Bush for all that he has done. I may not have agreed with every decision he has made, but when it came down to the most important issues, such as human life or the security of our nation, I knew we were in good hands. I just pray that our new leader will be as fearless and relentless on defending human life and our freedoms as much as our last president has been. May America bless God! – JE
