And Now for the Real Story!

This is just one area where we need to make sure that all Americans are aware of the facts. As a Christian woman, I am appalled that any other Christian person would actually consider voting for someone like Barack Obama. The candidates may “flip-flop” and say whatever they think people want them to say to get elected, but anyone who is willing to do their research to be able to make an informed decision will find that THIS IS WHERE THE CANDIDATES REALLY STAND ON SANCTITY OF LIFE:

Roe v. Wade

John McCain - Opposes:

Voted to oppose Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that allows abortion for any reason.
“…We would be better off by having Roe v. Wade return to the states…I don’t believe the…Court should be legislating in the way that they did on Roe v. Wade.”

Barack Obama - Supports:

Co-sponsor of the “Freedom of Choice Act,” a bill that would invalidate virtually all state and federal limitations on abortion, including partial-birth abortion.
“I have consistently advocated for reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s rights under Roe v. Was a priority as President.”

Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

The partial-birth abortion procedure–used from the fifth month on–involves pulling a living baby feet-first out of the womb, except for the head, puncturing the skull and suctioning out the brain. The great majority of partial-birth abortions are performed on healthy babies of healthy mothers.

John McCain - Supports:

Voted for the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling [in Gonzales v. Carhart-the April 2007 Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.] is a victory for those who cherish the sanctity of life.”

Barack Obama - Opposes:

“I am extremely concerned that [Gonzales v. Carhart] will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman’s right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade.”

Taxpayer Funding of Abortion

John McCain - Opposes:

Voted in favor of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion through the Medicaid program.
Voted consistently against federal funding of abortion.

Barack Obama - Supports:

Voted against legislation in the Illinois State Senate that prohibited taxpayer dollars from being used to pay for abortion.
His campaign has stated that he “does not support” the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion through the Medicaid program.

Parental Notification Law

John McCain - Supports:

Voted to support a bill that would have required an abortionist to notify at least one parent before performing an abortion on a minor girl from another state.

Barack Obama - Opposes:

Voted to block a bill that would have required an abortionist to notify at least one parent before performing an abortion on a minor girl from another state.

Protecting Abortion Survivors

John McCain - Supported:

Voted for legislation that provides protection for babies who survive abortions equal to protection received by babies who are spontaneously born prematurely.

Barack Obama - Opposed:

Voted three times against a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have provided protection for babies who survive abortions equal to protection received by babies who are spontaneously born prematurely.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research

John McCain - Supports:

Voted in favor of funding embryonic stem cell research.
“I believe that skin stem cell research has every potential very soon of making that discussion [embryonic stem cell research] academic.”

Barack Obama - Supports:

Voted in favor of funding embryonic stem cell research.
“Embryonic stem cells can be obtained from a number of sources including in-vitro fertilization…We should expand and accelerate research using these embryos…”

Human Cloning

John McCain - Opposes:
