Resource Forum

Well I somehow lost the article I had emailed to myself earlier this week with the intention of posting about. However, I found a much more interesting article that includes the quote that I wanted from the old article and even more (!). I'll get the quote from the first article out of the way first:
Barack Obama on teaching his daughters about sex:
"I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby".
The quote speaks for itself, but it just shows how out-of-tune Obama and many members of the Democratic party are on this issue. Since when are children punishments? The Democratic Culture of Death is at work here. It's quotes like this that make us realize how pathetic and disgusting it is.
Next, this article in the Washington Post discusses how Obama has been attempting to portray himself as a somewhat moderate on the abortion issue throughout the campaign, not wanting to appear an extremist. The article does a good job showing just how untrue this image really is. Obama is an abortion extremist just like he's an extremist on most other issues. He was against the ban on partial-birth abortion, which 70-80% of Americans supported depending on which polls you read (if you feel like feeling sick to your stomach, Google "partial-birth abortion" and become informed of the procedure. The actual court transcripts of the case are the most telling, in my opinion). He didn't support a bill that made it illegal for a doctor to kill a child that survived an attempted abortion. He's favored abortion unapologetically and to the max throughout his career.
On another separate, but semi-related matter, I attended Georgetown's Pregnancy Resource Forum last night. The event included panelists from Georgetown, local pregnancy center directors, and a local student-mother. These people were brought together, not to debate abortion, but to discuss ways to better serve pregnant and parenting students on Georgetown and other college campuses so that abortion doesn't seem like the "only option". Georgetown supplies a townhouse for student parents, diapers and baby supplies, some babysitting, counseling, etc. for student parents. However, the vast majority of students don't know this and don't even think there are any parenting students on campus (there are). So, a lot of the night was spent discussing ways to increase the general knowledge of these important facts and ways to improve them even more. Overall, it was a very enlightening and productive event. It's nice to know that there are so many different people out there who care about students in these situations and do their best to aid them through what can be a traumatic experience.
Thats all for now. I should be back tomorrow with comments on a piece published in the Economist recently that shows that conservatives lead happier lives than their counterparts. No surprise there in my opinion. But, its a good article. So be excited for it.
