The Debate Tonight

Two debates have gone by and the candidates have not been questioned on the fundamental right to life. How about tonight?

While you're waiting, check out Patrick Lee's article (NRO):

Barack Obama and some of his supporters are trying to court the anti-abortion vote, suggesting that the candidate's stands on other issues -- such as health care, economics, and foreign policy -- should outweigh his support for abortion rights.

This suggestion is misguided. Indeed, it is radically unjust to the unborn. By their position on abortion, Obama and Biden have relegated a whole class of human beings to the status of sub-personal objects that may be destroyed for the benefit of others.

(...) At stake in this debate is the principle of the fundamental equality of every human being. This was the same principle at stake in the 19th century in the slavery debate.

(...) The central principle of our civilization is that all human beings possess an equal fundamental dignity, and no class of human beings can with justice enslave, use, experiment on, or deliberately kill other innocent human beings for their own purposes. Obama and Biden have rejected that basic principle. McCain and Palin embrace and uphold it.
