On Inauguration Monday, I happend to tune into satellite radio just as Obama was starting his speech. I think I managed to survive the first two minutes before I felt a large knot in my stomach. You see, the day after the public inauguration festivities marked the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the law that made abortion legal in the US. I couldn't help but cringe at how selective the President was in interpreting the unalienable rights enshrined in the Constitution. The specific rights to which I'm referring are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
And this is where the Right to Life (RTL) movement in the US is rooted- in the constituion! And it's so pathetic that the POTUS who is supposed to be the chief defender of these rights, is said to be the most pro-abortion president to date. How can anyone say that they stand for the the unalienable right to life, while at the same time aggressively enact policies that kill unborn babies. And how ignorant are the American people who voted for this man to be the defender of this right. And it's especially alarmaing since President Obama is half-black, and touts this fact proudly. His black ancestors fought so hard to be free from slavery, for their own right to life, and yet a hundred and fifty years later (almost to the date!) a president of their own colour is enslaving a whole other class of humans. Disgusting!
How can the US Constitution be misconstrued like this? Why aren't Americans outraged at the blatant disregard of such an important document? How much longer will the American people remain asleep at the switch, while Obama and his renegade administration continue to chip away at American rights? And when they finally awake, will it be too late?
Well I'm awake and I've had my coffee.
