One of the biggest issue about the newly-elect US President Barack Obama was about his opinion given at a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, during his campaign period.
"Look, I got two daughters -- nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16."
Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, says Obama professes to be a Christian, yet equates contracting a sexually transmitted disease with giving life to a child -- intended or not. She says precious, innocent children are not punishment, even if the parents did not make the right choices to begin with.
There can be various ways on how to take Obama's opinion. Let your voice be heard in regards to this issue.
Thank you for any input...

I agree that each baby born either wanted or not wanted is never a punishment. It's God gift to us and we have to take care of it.
About punishment or a choice, I don't really have my choice here because I'd love to choose 'a gift'.
It's how we choose of what to do with this wonderful gift that matter.
It's impossible for Obama to please everyone. I believe that this is a controversial topic. During our Moral & Ethics Class, we were asked to state our stand on abortion. It's really hard to decide whether I'm all for it or against the whole thing.
Back to topic, I'm sure baby is a choice and NOT a punishment.
hi grace, you have to believe in yourself, if you think you can, you really will. do you know who is the biggest enemy in life? is actually yourself, nobody can sabotage as great as you are. my best wishes to you...
Hi Grace,
Thanks for coming by Pappy's Balderdash. I know a Grace here who is also from the Phillipines. She is a nurse and also loves the Lord. You reminded me of her. Come back anytime for a visit. Pappy
I believe that the main issue is to learn and follow values and morals, about our life...
Im a pro life person, so baby is a gift from God that we should all accept. We should never call it a punishment or crap like that.. His morals contreadicts of what he says and believe..
by the way, i just followed ur blog.. comeback anytime..
About your question, we live in west virginia but right now we're overseas due to hubby's job assignment..
abortion is never an option or a solution to a pregnancy. It's against God's law so if he believe in God, he won't support abortion..
Its just goes to show that he don't really mean what he say. He said he believe in God the creator, but what does he do, support abortion.. that's against his belief then..
Our child is a gift from God.
We have responsibility to take care and help their to choice the right way.
I think Obama's point is that women can deal with a range of consequences as a result of sexual violence. I can't even imagine being faced with this situation. I hope such problems fade out of our society.
Abortion is not an option, life is a precious gift.
Thanks for visiting my site grace.try to Visit often and give ur comments on improving my site.
I dont know about the politics but what a truely beautiful picture you have posted. It reminds us all of the miricle of life and its fragility. Thank you for such a wonderful image!
What about for those who are molested at age 14, and get pregnant? Do you still think that they have been given a gift? It would be torture if I had to look at a child that was conceived by such an aggressive act against myself.
i am a first time mom to be..,i made alot of prayers just to have this precious baby in my womb. and i strongly agree that babies don't deserve any punishments bec. they are priceless gift from GOD.,
