Yet Another Obama Flip Flop, Now On Abortion

Posted on July 3, 2008

Update: Heh…Barack Obama’s policy switches are giving the Left whiplash

Obama couldn’t end the day with just one flip flop, he had to hit a double whammy. I guess the Independence Day weekend, when most of his liberal supporters are “drinking liberally” would be the best time to do this kind of thing. Add another flip flop to the ever-growing list. This time its on abortion.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says “mental distress” should not qualify as a health exception for late term-abortions, a key distinction not embraced by many supporters of abortion rights.

In an interview this week with “Relevant,” a Christian magazine, Obama said prohibitions on late-term abortions must contain “a strict, well defined exception for the health of the mother.”

Obama then added: “Now, I don’t think that ‘mental distress’ qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term.”

Last year, after the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on late-term abortions, Obama said he “strongly disagreed” with the ruling because it “dramatically departs from previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women.” Source

Last year Obama said he would trust women to make the right decision on partial birth abortion. This new position on abortion by Barack goes against his 100% NARAL rating in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Of course the MSM will not report any of these details to you.

The Messiah changed his mind?! No way! We must have “misunderstood him” the first time… You know, like he “misunderstood” Rev. Wright for 20 years (2 decades!; 1040 weeks!)

Seriously - for a guy who claims to be all about “Change”, who champions himself as a “new type of candidate” he sure does look, sound & smell like the same-old-same-old politician…

If only his “followers” would snap out of it. A silver tongue does not good policy make!
