It's that time of the year - for Nuts!

New Web Site Falsely Claims Barack Obama Pro-Life on Abortion, Ignores Record

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new web site by the Matthew 25 Network, a Democratic political action committee supporting Barack Obama, falsely calls Barack Obama pro-life.

The "Pro-Life, Pro-Obama" web site features a list of what Obama would do as president and almost completely ignores abortion.

"An Obama administration will do more than a McCain administration for the cause of life, by drastically reducing abortions through giving women and families the support and the tools they need to choose life,"
the web site claims.

The web site features a host of votes Obama cast and initiatives the pro-abortion candidate supports to help pregnant women. They range from paid maternity leave and sick leave to affordable daycare to supporting expanded health care.

However, discussion of key legislation that directly affects abortion, and has resulted in their reduction, is conspicuously absent. There is no mention of Obama's position favor of keeping Roe v. Wade legal, which has resulted in 50 million abortions over the last 35 years.

There is no mention of his votes against bills in the Illinois legislature to provide medical care for infants who survive botched abortions.

The site fails to mention his support of the so-called Freedom of Choice Act, a bill that would make unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy the national law and overturn every pro-life law in all 50 states, including bans on tax-funded abortions and partial-birth abortions.

Indeed, it's season for nuts, and I loathe having to pick up walnuts which have strted following nature's laws! Even more, I loathe outright lies and intentional acts of deception from groups such as this - but, considering our nation's immorality and decadence, is it not to be expected? Are we not reaping what Satan has tempted us to sow?
