I am pretty sure it cannot be called an abortion after it leavbes the birth canal In any event, Obama was not talking about a baby carried to term, delivered and then killed. I am pretty sure he was talking about induced labor (partial birth) abortions - remember Roe spoke only about the viability of the fetus outside of the mother. But, if you want to compare the two major parties, the D's clearly have the upper hand because they openly advocate birth control other than the R's abstinence only farce. If people fukced with more birth control as well as not at all, there would be way fewer abortions, a goal I laud

In case you are wondering, though I support the right of a woman to choose, I personally think abortion is wrong. But, I do not have to carry the fetus or take care of it. Moreover, I think that if we taught sex ed and more women got on the pill or took other means to prevent pregnancy (which the govt. should give to the poor IMO) - they would not have to use abortion as birth control after consenual sex. I get that rapes are a different matter. I am not taking about those.

As for which is worse, the NRA wants machine guns to be available to everyone on demand, like they were in the early parts of the last century. That's just sick given that Aerica's children are dying
