    It's American destiny, president Barrack Hussein Obama, in the tradition of our founding-fathers such as George Washington, John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln. Joe Biden is cocky, and I miss Hillary Clinton, and regret Democrats did not vote for her during the primary season.

    1.4 % of total abortions equals thousands. I've held a late term fetus. The baby moves until suffocation takes over. It's no lump of cells similar to a gallbladder as the Prodeath myth would have you believe.

    Drs have always used health as an excuse. I know as I am a DR.
    1.4% of total abortions adds up to thousands.

    The point is that when your wife or daughter is in the hospital for an emergency , you want to know that doctors are focused solely on their well-being and not worried about some government official coming after them later for not doing more to save the baby. My wife had a miscarriage at 20 weeks, which was horrible enough in itself, but I thank God we didn't run into some "holy roller" doctor who would have endangered my wife's life or "health" in their overzealousness to save the baby. The focus should be on the woman.

    Late in pregnancy, when the child is viable out of utero, what is the difference to the mother whether she goes through labor and delivers a live baby or a dead baby. The mother still has to go through labor. I need to know what the health risk is? This is not clear, it seems to me there is no added health risk in delivering a live baby. I would even go as far as saying it is probably safer to deliver a live baby because no instruments would be inserted into the mother to pull the baby apart. These instruments could potentially puncture the mothers uterus. Why not just place the baby for adoption at this point.

    Mr. McCain and the Republican party are moving farther and farther right of the American women and their families with the topic of women's health and abortion. Mr. McCain and the Republican party do not support affordable and accessible birth control which would dramatically lower the number of abortions- a win win situation. Making birth control 10x affordable and accessible and fit to women's life needs is critical. Having children is a choice for all women. Mr. McCain and the Republican party have moved so far right into the evangelical camp they can no longer understand the issues most women face and most families face. We are a country of different views and not one religion.

    "Holy"Roller, to say "exposed on O'Reilly" is much like saying "proven by the National Enquirer." Obama has never said, not once, that he wants all restrictions on abortion removed. Pay attention.

    Mr. McCain continues to move to more extreme positions when it comes to women's health and pro-choice. Abortion is one and his view is extreme and does not represent over 75% of women. But worse, McCain and the Republican party do not support affordable and accessible birth control. Making birth control 100x more accessible and affordable reduces the number of abortions. It is a win win situation. The problems is that the REpublican party is so wrapped up with the right wing evangelical view of the world they have missed the rest of the country. They have missed all of the women and put us at risk.
