Reuters: Obama says pointed abortion query “above his pay grade”
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama side-stepped a pointed query about abortion on Saturday by “mega-pastor” Rick Warren during a televised forum.
Asked at what point a baby gets “human rights,” Obama, who strongly supports abortion rights, said: “… whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”
[...]
Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who followed Obama onto the stage of the nationally televised event, was more blunt and more emphatic.
He said a baby’s human rights began “at the moment of conception … I have a 25-year pro-life record.”
Despite having attended Harvard law school, it’s regrettable that Obama is such a dishonest and uninformed fool.
Human rights, inherent in any human being, begin with conception. That is, when sperm meets egg.
