Just Makes Me Mad

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — President Barack Obama strode head-on Sunday into the stormy abortion debate and told graduates at America's leading Roman Catholic university that both sides must stop demonizing one another. (Because we obviously shouldn't defend those who cannot speak for themselves!)
Obama acknowledged that "no matter how much we want to fudge it ... the fact is that at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable." But he still implored the University of Notre Dame's graduating class and all in the U.S. to stop "reducing those with differing views to caricature. Open hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words. (Seriously? How can you be open-minded about murder? Yes, they are in need of love and compassion. But they also need to know that this is WRONG!) It's a way of life that always has been the Notre Dame tradition." (Notre Dame tradition? They are a Catholic school. Catholics "traditionally" do not support birth control. That makes no sense.)
One of the noisiest controversies of his young presidency flared after Obama, who supports abortion rights but says the procedure should be rare, was invited to speak at the school and receive an honorary degree. "I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away," the president said........ Blah! Blah! Blah!

A Gallup survey released Friday found that 51 percent of those questioned call themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42 percent "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as "pro-life" since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

Pew said its latest polling found that 28 percent said abortion should be legal in most cases while 18 percent said all cases. Forty-four percent of those surveyed were opposed to abortion in most or all cases.
