Punishment

Emperor of Hope Barrack Obama recently stated that he didn't want his children to be punished with a child at 16. Personally, I liked this response:


My apologies Mr. Obama but a child, whether born or unborn, is not a punishment. You may view it as a consequence of engaging in sexual activity, but in no way should a child ever be referred to as a punishment. Perhaps those values and morals that you teach your daughters should be that Pro-Choice can mean something more than the free ability to dispose of a life; it can also be the choice not to engage in an activity that has specific and predictable biological consequences.

I don't want to get into a discussion regarding abortion, but I think that this statement will get a lot of air time when the general election rolls around. McCain will need to rally the base and this will surely motivate social conservatives.

HB is looking to rally the Social Conservatives -- and I thought I was the pragmatist. You go, Brother!

I think this plays into the Malthusian worldview of the left. Every child is a mouth to feed, not the one who will cure cancer.
