Obama’s empty rhetoric

At the recent Saddleback civil forum, Obama says he wants to see a reduction in abortions. There are so many interesting things to point out about this statement. For one, these comments reflect a typical all-talk and no action track record of the Democrats. David O'Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee, expanded on this point recently during an interview with Newsweek:

"I think saying they want to reduce abortions is empty rhetoric…I have not seen the pro-abortion side agree with the pro-life side on anything that would actually reduce the number of abortions."

O'Steen explains how pro-choice politicians constantly obstruct legislation that would actually reduce the numbers, such as bills that would require that a women get an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.

The fact is, Obama – like the other Democrats – have done absolutely nothing to reduce abortions.
