| Friend of mine from The States tells me the reds have been making quite a fuss recently over Obama’s priorities as the relate to abortion. At a town hall meeting in PA recently Obama said: “….information about contraception because, look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with and STD at the age of 16….” Apparently the red team is bent about the “punished with a baby” bit. I would never make a decision on who to vote for based upon a single issue and abortion rights does not even rank in my top 25 issues. So this little tid-bit is not such a big deal to me. And to tell the truth is probably not such a big deal to most folks who might be considering voting for Obama anyway. But if enough little tib-bits pile up between now and Nov they might have a real affect. The e-mail my mate sent to me also had a bit of a diatribe about the earlier issue of Obama's reverends comments and the statement made by Obama about teaching his children values. But that is another thread all together.
