Keyes Rips Obama's Views on Abortion

A day after jumping into the Illinois Senate race, two-time presidential hopeful Alan Keyes ripped into Democratic rival Barack Obama, saying his views on abortion are "the slaveholder's position."

The conservative former diplomat said Obama's vote against a bill that would have outlawed a form of late-term abortion denied unborn children of their equal rights.

Obama said he voted against the late-term abortion ban as a state senator because it contained no exception to protect the life of the mother.

For a man who is so educated, one would think he would understand that there is never any medical reason to kill the baby to protect the life of the mother. But then, the facts are irrelevant when one is opposed to life.
