Obama restates his commitment to abortion rights
3 days ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama renewed his commitment to abortions rights on Thursday, saying the nation needs to find common ground in the contentious abortion debate so "our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons."
Marking the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Obama said in a statement that the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion represented a broader principle that government should not intrude on private family matters.
"On this anniversary, we must also recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons: the chance to attain a world-class education; to have fulfilling careers in any industry; to be treated fairly and paid equally for their work and to have no limits on their dreams," Obama said. "That is what I want for women everywhere."
Obama issued the statement as elsewhere in Washington and around the country anti-abortion rights activists marched in protest of the 1973 court case that legalized abortion. Up Pennsylvania Avenue, tens of thousands of abortion opponents rallied on the National Mall amid concerns they could face political setbacks under Obama.
Obama won election by emphasizing how the country could work together, even on difficult issues such as abortion. His across-the-spectrum approach brought together a political coalition that he has sought to sustain during his first days in office.
"While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue, no matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion and support women and families in the choices they make," Obama said. "To accomplish these goals, we must work to find common ground to expand access to affordable contraception, accurate health information and preventative services."
American public opinion about abortion has been fairly stable in recent decades, with polls almost always finding a narrow majority saying the procedure should be legal in all or most cases.

Did you notice what he wanted for all women, all our daughters? Education, career, equal pay, and no limit on their dreams. The only conclusion to be drawn from these comments are that the unborn children are an obstacle which cannot be overcome in attaining success.
Unplanned pregnancies can pose challenges of course but are they insurmountable? How many of us were unplanned? Does this mean that women who would "choose" motherhood as a life's work, unlike his own wife, who devote their lives to family, faith, personal growth and service have somehow missed out? Are just plain wrong?
Yes and yes. This precisely what they think. In fact many go a step further and say to live a life of motherhood alone is to do a disservice to all woman. They are not interested in choice. They want all women to use contraception, to attend school, develop their career, enjoy a thriving active sex life exploring their sexual freedom, at some point perhaps have a child or two at most. Then, put the child in daycare, return to their career, allow providers to care for and raise the child until it is a toddler at which time it is placed in state run preschool and then public education. So that this child will learn the same way of life it's mother did and the species will perpetuate itself in kind and ultimately change the world.
So that doesn't sound so bad right? I mean let's face it, it's the reality these days. Except there are a couple wrinkles in the theory.
Is it working?
The first is the notion of sexual freedom. When women engage in their sexual freedom they often find themselves pregnant. Many when faced with the option to abort cannot, will not. Men have been listening. They got the message loud and clear that women do not need men to have or raise babies. They got the message that abortions fix the problem. Are we surprised that they aren't feeling compelled to responsibility, marriage and devoting their life to family and fatherhood? Why should their dreams, education, and career be thwarted by an unwanted pregnancy? Where is their choice? The reality is babies are born out of wedlock, raised without fathers and live in poverty with their mothers. It hasn't gotten better, only worse.
The second problem is when everyone is focused on career and success, no one is really raising the children. If this works so well why so many teen pregnancies, teen suicides, teen std's, teen drug use, children on mood altering drugs, lower test scores, children in therapy, and on and on? Problems that simply did not exist on this scale when someone was raising the children.
The third problem, freedom. True freedom sexual or otherwise only exists with an equal portion of true responsibility. The Democrats keep trying to create new solutions for the problems that their very own worldview perpetuates. Teen pregnancy = daycare in high school. Std's = condoms in the counselor's office. Single moms = free childcare.
They keep thinking if they keep plugging away they will eventually get all the ducks in a row. A few generations will struggle but if we can have unfettered abortions and get women to really understand that everything will be better in the world if they JUST live their lives THIS way, then at some point the bumps will even out and the world will chug along smoothly.
You see they just need to weed out the uneducated, simple minded, manual labor working people who can't dream big enough.
They will of course need your tax dollars to make this dream a reality and there will be a continued halocaust of the unborn until this "change" can take hold but what's a few aborted babies from backwards, uneducated welfare moms, and minorities?
You gotta break some eggs...
