- A campaign launched by several
pro-life leaders has recently
received media attention for
its simple message: Those
who vote for Obama vote to fund
unlimited abortions with their
own tax dollars.
The
campaign, formed by Operation
Rescue, Christian Defense Coalition,
and Christians for Social Justice,
greets visitors to its website
with an image of Obama superimposed
on the traditional Uncle Sam
image: "Obama wants you."
Those who click to enter the
site find the other half of
the message: "Obama wants
you to pay for abortion!"
(http://www.obamawantsyou.com
)
The
website dedicates several pages
and brief, total proof video
clips exposing Obama's own words
that reveal his radical views
on "reproductive rights,"
such as his avowal to pass the
Freedom of Choice Act, a radical
pro-abortion measure that would
void all state restrictions
on abortion, including partial-birth
abortion.
Rev.
Patrick Mahoney of the Christian
Defense Coalition told LifeSiteNews
(LSN), "We felt that it
was important for people to
have a resource" as many
are still unaware of the extreme
abortion policies of the Democratic
presidential nominee.
Mahoney
explained that, at the Democratic
National Convention, "We
talked to numerous delegates
who were completely unaware
of Sen. Obama's view on abortion."
"I
mean, the delegates would actually
come up and tell us that he
was pro-life," he said.
Rev.
Mahoney said that they had been
contacted repeatedly by the
Obama campaign, who said the
website was "divisive"
and promoted the wrong kind
of discourse. However, Mahoney
noted that the national news
media has confirmed that "reproductive
rights" are to be part
of Obama's nationalized healthcare
plan - which would be funded
by American taxpayer dollars.
President
of Operation Rescue Troy Newman
explained that it is critical
to spread the message of Obama's
abortion extremism, because
while either candidate has a
solid block of voters in their
own party, they are both struggling
to win over moderate voters
who haven't yet formed an alliance.
"It's
going to depend on the people
in the middle," said Newman.
"Demographically, the people
in the middle do not believe
that their tax funds should
go to pay for abortion. We've
well documented the case in
Obama's own words that prove
he's on the extreme end."
He said the site has already
received feedback from people
who had been unaware of Obama's
position on abortion.
Newman
also mentioned that the site
was called "racist"
for spoofing the white Uncle
Sam with Obama's visage, a charge
he called "ridiculous."
"It
was Martin Luther King who said
that people should be judged
by the content of their character,
not the color of their skin,"
he said, "and I think just
judging Obama by his own words
is ample amount of information
not to vote for the man, no
matter what color he is."
The
website's "Political Satire"
link contains many of the most
talked about cartoons and brief
video items on Senator Obama.
See
CAUTION:
One link on the website, "What
is an Abortion", contains
the most explicit video of an
abortion that one is ever likely
ever to see. It reveals that
brutal truth about abortion
but some may find the video
to difficult to endure.
