Feelings on Reproductive Rights - Either Way, the Verdict Is for Obama

I received the following from the Matthew 25 Network, and thought I would share. In spite of your opinion on Reproductive Rights - please read the following from Douglas W. Kmiec:

Can you be pro-life and support Senator Obama? The answer - upon even a moment's reflection - is "unequivocally yes."

Please visit our new online resource Pro-Life, Pro-Obama created for those in the Pro-Life community that may be considering support for Barack Obama for President.

We are all called to build a culture of life - but there's more to it than just hoping that the next Supreme Court justice somehow deals with Roe v. Wade. A bad economy is threatening to human life. Women facing the moral tragedy of abortion - are facing it, now, today - and they need a supportive community and tangible help, not condemnation.

As Ronald Reagan's legal counsel and as a dean and professor at Catholic University and Notre Dame, I have worked to put the law on the side of life.

But after 35 years, a new approach is needed. Barack Obama's strengthening of support for prenatal care, health care, maternity leave, and adoption will make the difference. Studies confirm it.

We are but a few weeks away from a new beginning in America.


I am inspired by what Senator Obama calls "the promise of America -- the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation in the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. That's the promise we need to keep."

That is the change we need right now. And it is within our grasp.

Thank you for visiting the site and we look forward to being in touch,
