Let's Face It

At Notre Dame, Obama got it right. He acknowledges that the two sides of the abortion issue will never be compatable.. but he encourages us to deal with it. Let's face it, he says, rather than simply ignore it. He's right.

No one is in favor of abortion. Those pro-choice folks out there are not in favor of abortion, they are in favor of the right to an abortion. Obama says lets reduce the number of undesirable pregnancies. One way to accomplish that is to encourage more education about contraception. The Roman Catholic church opposes contraception. They are wrong to do so and we should face that too. The Roman Catholic church does not run this country. Abstinace education doesn't work. Bush proved that. We need to give our young folks the information they need and the contraceptives they need to stop unwanted pregnancies.

Stem cell research is a good thing. Stem cell research using embryos is a good thing too. There are many frozen embryos that will be distroyed. It is right and proper and good for science to use them for stem cell research.

Case closed
