Barack Obama's top priority ... unfettered taxpayer funded abortion.

Update: But how many pro-life voters, or voters who are moderately pro-choice but nevertheless have moral qualms about abortion, know that Obama and the Democratic leadership in congress want to force Americans, including those with strong moral objections, to pay for the procedure? Forcing people to pay is not a "pro-choice" position, it is a pro-abortion position, or at least a pro-abortion-lobbyist position, from the candidate who also baselessly claims to be against lobbyists and special interests. - The Unalienable Right
However opaque Obama wishes to make his intentions, it is clear to everyone else. His position is appalling to say the very least. There are numerous reasons not to vote for this man and his stance on abortion/infanticide is just one of them.
Given that, I have to wonder why the Matthew 25 network supports Obama and encourages pro-lifers to vote for him? I had hoped ignorance factored into their actions.
The Matthew 25 network has lifted just part of Scripture to fit their narrative.
It's as if I lifted just the Free Exercise Clause in the First Amendment but ignored the Establishment Clause.
I can't comment on Matthew 25 as I have never seen it but Obama is certainly not pro-life. Palin is the infinitely better candidate (as a running mate, I should say).
The quote they lifted from scripture just leaves my mouth gaping open:
"'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.'"
And on their website they speak of "Christians across the country are answering the Gospel call to care for our neighbor, especially the most vulnerable..." and "promoting life with dignity, caring for the least of these."
How much more vulnerable, how much more "least of these" can you get than the unborn human being??
(eye twitch begins)
Isn't it convenient that so-called Christians like Mara Vanderslice, M25Network's leader, and company can quote that scripture and not only twist it 180 degrees backward to allow for abortion, but also ignore these quotes also from scripture? Here's just 3, there are plenty more:
"Shall I bring a mother to the point of birth, and yet not let her child be born? says the Lord. Or shall I allow her to conceive yet close her womb? says your God." ~ Isaiah 66:9
“My chosen ones shall long enjoy the product of their hands. They shall not work in vain, nor beget children for sudden destruction.” Isaiah 65:22-23
"Today I have set before you life and death...CHOOSE LIFE SO THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN MAY LIVE." ~ Deut. 30:19-20a
Also, Vanderslice "was director of religious outreach for the Kerry campaign in 2004 but was "silenced" when Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, publicized her connection with various far-left political groups."
"In an article in [June 18, 2004's] Washington Times, reporter Julia Duin says that Mara Vanderslice, the Kerry campaign’s director of religious outreach, is no longer permitted to talk to the press. Vanderslice was exposed on June 14 [2004] in a Catholic League news release as being a far left-wing activist who has spoken at rallies held by the notoriously anti-Catholic group, ACT UP. The Kerry campaign is now reportedly in a “panic mode” over this revelation."

The Curt Jester has even more quotes to remind Matthew 25 Network about:
