"From the first moment a woman dared to speak that hope -- dared to believe that the American Dream was meant for her too -- ordinary women have taken on extraordinary odds to give their daughters the chance for something else; for a life more equal, more free, and filled with more opportunity than they ever had. In so many ways we have succeeded, but in so many areas we have much work left to do."
-- Barack Obama, Speech in Washington, DC November 10, 2005

How can it be possible for a man to rise to such ranks and not realize the folly of one's words?
Here, in this very speech, then just Mr. Obama, speaks of the rights of women. Can you assume he also means "girls"? If he also means "girls" then why not assume he also means "baby girls" or "girls that have the potential to become women" and that it's only possible to become a woman if you are made to be a woman, and that...
OK maybe that's assuming too much...
It is truly amazing that one might as easily be able to read the President's above comments as an argument for defending the rights of the unborn.
How ironic..."President Obama has a long record of standing up for women".
How about standing up for all women...born and unborn!
Oh.. and since when did the American Dream mean being able to take someone's life from them without question or pause?
(By the way, how about that "From the first moment" line above? How concurrently right and wrong he is!)
