Obama is trying to get the Partial-Birth Abortion Bill to pass in Congress. Then he wants the hard-working tax payers to pay for those that don't have enough money and too much time!
If you want to know more about PBA, see the following:

Now that you watched this clip, are you for or against the bill?
For anyone who hasn't watched it, be careful. Not for the weak at heart or stomach. I actually couldn't watch it...For obvious reasons. My twins at this moment are 26 weeks and the thought that someone could abort a baby at that stage makes me ill.
The partial birth abortion is the single most reason why I had a hard time even considering voting for Obama.
I can't watch these videos, doll or not. I'm not in favor of partial birth abortion anyway, so I don't need to see...
I'm both pro life AND pro choice, and yes it's possible to be both.
I believe that life begins at the moment of conception, I seriously doubt that I could have considered having an abortion myself, but never having had to make that decision, I suppose that I can't say for certain. I've known people who've made that choice, but because I can't walk in someone else's shoes, I can't judge them. I believe that God has a better concept of what's in someone's mind and heart than I do, so my main objective is to be there as an ear for those who've struggled with this decision.
I remember all too well the days before Roe v. Wade, and it was a horrifying time for women. Like a nightmare. I would never want to see us go back to the days when already-distraught women had to stand on a designated street corner, waiting for a stranger to pick her up, then drive around blindfolded for forty-five minutes so she would be disoriented, then led still blindfolded and terrified to a nonsterile room where she might or might not survive the procedure, or perhaps be rendered sterile.
We all have to do what our own conscience tell us to do, and be forgiving of others who believe that they have to make another choice.
On the other hand, I think many people use abortion much like back-up birth control, and I have no sympathy for those kinds of choices.

Moore I do agree about being both. For the longest time I was very pro-choice. But then I read a description on what happens with these partial birth things and it made me ill. And of course I am carrying twins so I guess I have a hard time fathoming someone killing a baby for no reason. I can understand the health part, I can even understand the rape and/or incest victims. I just can't understand, like Moore said the people who use it as a form of bc.
