Obama Shocks Moderates

Our President Barack Obama...energizing the pro-life movement. The Politico:
It’s no surprise that Obama supports abortion rights. What’s been surprising to these groups is a quick succession of policy and personnel moves by Obama as president – moves they say belie the words of Candidate Obama, who pledged to change the national conversation about abortion.
Even Christian moderates are "squeamish" about using embryos for research. Predictably Obama apologist Douglas Kmiec is still spinning for the president, who, after all, needs to look at the big picture:
“Though I think their time would be better spent seeing the larger picture of the economic and related cultural challenges which face the nation and how the president brings great intelligence and open-mindedness to the needs of many who previously were invisible to the governmental process.”
Individual innocent life is, after all, too small to count.
