The AP reports:
President Barack Obama, treading carefully in the explosive arena of abortion and the Supreme Court, said Wednesday he will choose a nominee who pays heed to the rights of women and the privacy of their bodies. Yet he said he won’t enforce any abortion rights “litmus tests.” Obama said it is “very important to me” that his court choice take women’s rights into account in interpreting the Constitution, his most expansive comments yet about how a woman’s right to choose will factor into his decision.
This is absolutely the mainstream media at its worst. They’ve become White House stenographers.
Obama here said he WILL choose a nominee that “pays heed” to the right to privacy which Roe v. Wade invented to secure the right for Big Abortion to make millions and millions of dollars killing babies. Yet literally in the next sentence the AP contradicts itself by saying there WON’T be a “litmus test.” Are these people idiots? The first two lines of their story are mutually exclusive.
These people have no shame. It’s sad that even with their own imminent demise they insist on promulgating the fiction that Obama is a moderate. And they do this at the cost of their own integrity and further their own spiral.
I guess what’s really sad is that every time a Republican president gets a chance to nominate a Supreme Court Justice, pro-lifers have reason to be more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs because we’ve been burned so often. Yet, pro-aborts can rest easy that there’s not one chance in a million that Obama will nominate a pro-lifer.

"Are these people idiots?"
Only because they believe the rest of us are.

The only ones who ought to be nervous are those who promulgate abortion and die convinced that it is the right thing to do. Jesus is pretty clear when he says (Luke 17:2):
It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. So watch yourselves.
What then will the Lord's response be for those who arrange for millions of little ones to burned with salt or ripped limb from limb?
Lord, may you turn the hearts of those who worship at the altars of demons thinking they are free towards you. May you cover them with the Blood of your Son – which is effective for this and all other sin. May they truly see their sin filtered through the light of your mercy – lest they themselves be burned and disassembled in the fire and light of your holy justice! Until this stain is removed form our land, help us minister to the women faced with this temptation and show them your paths – for without "customers" abortion will stop and the death factories will idle and close. Amen, Amen!

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.

I was hoping you would catch this. I saw this report yesterday and couldn't believe that anyone would believe that "no litmus test" and "the judge must fight for the women's rights and the right to privacy" can be meshed together as if they are the same thought. Then to put the thoughts right next to each other. What utter stupidity?!
Did you see today's Fox News story on his selection process? Once again, the best, brightest and most qualified may have to take a backseat to "diversity" and "historical appointments."

Discerning that those affirmations are mutually exclusive requires sufficient attention span, reading ability, comprehension, logical inference, intellectual honesty and capacity for independent thought. Obama and his stenographers either thinks that their audience are incapable of such processes or they themselves are not able to perceive the distinction. I suspect the later for MSM because they themselves don't know. I stopped believing anything from Obama.

It's clear that Obama's sig. style
Of lying (every once in a while)
Makes clear that he's for
A Justice who's tour
Will back up Roe's illogical pile.

An interesting aside. Obama seems concerned with the right of privacy that a woman has with regard to medical care with her doctor, but has no expectation of privacy that a man has with respect to the privacy of his medical decisions.
Looks like there'll be an equal protection lawsuit. Obamacare may die because of Roe v. Wade. 🙂
