At Lifesitenews.com.com, Peter J. Smith reported that Barack Obama is going to "payback" the supporters who helped him overcome the Hillary Clinton era: Obama is set to lift all restrictions on abortion in the United States. My simple question is this- If you are a Christian of any kind or level of devotion, can you justify voting for Mr. Obama? HOW??
Smith's article referenced these Obama remarks and information
"'The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act," Obama said in his July speech to abortion advocates worried about the increase of pro-life legislation at the state level.'
The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion." (

I can only interpret this idea and possible action as racist, as African-Americans are over-represented in all abortion statisitics. As I have already written and referenced an important statistic I'll add again:
Abortion has changed the face of America, irrevocably extracting African-Americans by the millions. In any other definition, this would be considered a genocidal event.
The CDC publishes undeniable facts. A recent article from The National Black Catholic Congress website states the following from their research:
“
According to the CDC, since 1973, the year of the Supreme Court Decision Roe vs. Wade, 13 million (13,000,000) African American lives have been lost to abortion. The CDC reports that of the approximately 4000 abortions that are performed daily in the United States, 1452 of them are performed on African American women and their pre-born children. This means that although African Americans represent only 12% of the population of the United States, they account for 35% of the abortions performed in this country.” (
