AP Does Final Disservice to Voters, Hides Barack Obama's Pro-Abortion Stance

by Steven ErteltLifeNews.com EditorNovember 3, 2008 Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Associated Press has done a final disservice to voters as it has through the presidential elections by hiding Barack Obama's pro-abortion stance. In a final comparison piece that will appear in newspapers nationwide today and tomorrow, AP continues to apply just three words to its description of Obama's abortion views. For months, AP has maintained a two-page summary of Obama's and John McCain's stands on various top political issues. Most of the brief position descriptions contain a paragraph or two for each candidate on the given issue. Yet, on the issue of abortion, AP mentions only that Obama "favors abortion rights." There is no mention in the Associated Press piece about how Obama supports abortion throughout pregnancy for any reason, has voted repeatedly for taxpayer-funding of abortion, and opposes a ban on partial-birth abortions. AP also fails to mention anything about Obama's position saying he will sign a bill that would make unlimited abortions the national law and overturn every pro-life law nationwide. Nor did it include any mention of the controversy surrounding his votes in the Illinois legislature against bills to make sure hospital staff provide adequate medical care for newborns who survive failed abortions.

Ronald Reagan's Thoughts in quotes

"Man is not free unless government is limited."

"Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty."

“The cultural environment for a human holocaust is present whenever any society can be misled into defining individuals as less than human and therefore devoid of value and respect.”

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."

"I notice that all those people who favor abortion have already been born."

"We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added."

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

"Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence."

"Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged."

"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves."

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."

"Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15."

"I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'."

"Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

"Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure."

"They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong."

"Don't be afraid to see what you see." Ronald Reagan
