[...] Ed Morrissey: As President — even as Senator — Obama is expected to have an answer for this. Quite literally, there is no higher pay grade in the US government, and abortion is one of the issues he has to face. If he can’t face it, then he should go back to community organization and leave politics for people who can. John McCain had no trouble answering the same question. Obama dodged it — and for good reason: his answer would have exposed his radical views. [...]

Exactly. Of course Obama knew he was going to be asked about abortion, so it’s certain that his answer was rehearsed and not off-the-cuff. An attempt at yet another artful dodge.

How anyone could actually think of voting for this vapid, utterly inconsequential man to be president of the United States is beyond my comprehension.

[...] Obama’s answer was definitely more nuanced. What I don’t get is why he can’t come out and be clear that yes, there are problems defining when life begins, and yes we want fewer unwanted pregnancies, but no, the government should not be interfering with what a woman does with her own self. He nuanced himself right around that by focusing on the baby/fetus vs the woman. Here is Obama’s response to the question(s) concerning this. [...]
