The Vindication of Obama Position on Abortion and Gay Marriage is the Exposure of the Right Wing Hypocrisy

Obama Position on Abortion and Gay Marriage Vindicated and Right Wing Hypocrisy Exposed

There were abortions before Obama became President and there will abortion regardless who occupy the White House after Obama. Obama is a family man with two beautiful daughters and would never encourage his daughters to under abortion if the daughters chose otherwise. What Obama says is that it is wrong to make abortion a crime through legislation because such law will lead to loss of more lives. No law will ever stop abortion rather women would resort to dangerous means and sources to get abortion which may lead to death of more women and the unborn any way.  Just like the drug law have led to many more deaths than it have saved, just as the alcohol prohibition of the 1800s failed. Yes we all do believe that abortion is ugly and of moral, societal and religious concern.

However, we cannot legislate on self morality; remember every abortion starts with a positive pregnancy test which starts either with unprotected legitimate sex, rape, or fornication. If we criminalize abortion then we would have inadvertently limited, criminalized unprotected legitimate sex between couples and would have criminalized fornication. One right denied always lead to a million others suffocated.  

Like Senator Bennett of Colorado rightly asked, “who goes to jail if a woman commits the crime of abortion by terminating a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest?” Jesus Christ charged his apostles ‘go ye into all the nations of the earth and preach the god news, for the house that receives ye, you shall give the good news, to those that receive you not, as leave dust your shoes at the door step of the household.’ Jesus never charged his apostles to enforce the good news or enforce morality. Had God wanted he would have conditioned us that we would have been unable to commit moral sins. God’s freewill edict would have meant nothing if humans were not allowed to choose between right and wrong. Republicans should quit playing God; they should also quit trying to invalidate God’s freewill edict. If we should legislate on all our individual beliefs, group desirables and or undesirables then we will never have a functional society. Christ said to his apostles, it is impossible to love the invisible God when one loves not the humans that one sees. Republicans can pretend all they want on how much they care for the unborn yet their callous indifference to the plight of the living exposes the height of their hypocrisy. 

*Obama’s Support for Gay Marriage Vindicated, Right Wing, Hypocricy Exposed   

The religious Right is using the recent Obama stated position on civil gay marriage as political talking point. I can guarantee Obama believes that homosexuality is sin but not a crime and should not be a crime.  As a Christian and like Obama I honestly believe that homosexuality is a sin but is in no way different from the sin of fornication, adulatory, adultery, lies, hate, bigotry, racism, corruption etc or different from the sin of that pastor who sleeps with one of his or her congregation adulterously or steals from the congregation or the sins of the lying politicians. Christ said ‘he who has no sin let him cast the first stone.’

Obama said he supports civil marriage for Gays and Lesbians.  Civil marriage and religious marriage are different in both context and texture. Civil marriage is no different from civil union in both context and texture. One who supports civil union (and most Republican do) and vehemently opposes civil marriage is dishonest and as foolish as he or she is ignorant.

A true religious person ought not to panic about same sex civil marriage contract administered by an un-ordained civil servant, the Justice of the peace, in an unsanctified government office.

There is something sacred about religious marriage conducted in the altar of Devine One; this contrast alone should reassure true believers. But truth is that today Republicans and the Religious Right have lost focus, instead of preaching the good news they like the Pharisee hypocritically seek to legislate and enforce the good news (morality) as if the Supreme-One is incapable of enforcing behavior had he chosen so. Few years ago Romney held the same views Obama holds today on gay marriage and on abortion. Few years back Romney said he supported women’s right to choose and full equality for gays and lesbians.

Like the Afghanistan Taliban, like the theocratic regimes in Middle East Republicans hypocritically want to legislate on personal morality.
