This illustrates another tendency among conservatives: the refusal, or perhaps it's inability, to see nuance. To them, everything is white and black (and no, I don't mean racially).

Geo, exactly what do you mean by "completely on board with late term?" Do you mean "in support of it any time a woman chooses?" I don't think you'll find a whole lot of people that support that, and I don't think Obama does, either. If you mean "in support of having it as an option when the mother's life is in danger," then yes.

What specifically did Obama sponsor in the Senate that means he's "completely on board with late term?"

It took me 2 seconds to find this.

The question SPECIFICALLY asked.......was do "even late term abortions"......ANSWER.....I am pro choice.

But hey, how about his words EXACTLY so I don't mis quote him.

AND this is just like liberals.....the inability to EVALUATE effectively just what an Obamunist stands for.

I evaluated it.......EFFECTIVELY.

Great, you found the clip, and it makes a nice sound bite. But you specifically said "Obama sponsored this in the Senate" and I asked what you're referring to that he sponsored. That question you haven't answered.

Here's what the "On The Issues" web site Barack Obama on Abortion quotes Obama saying (in a Fox News interview, btw) about late-term abortion, specifically:

"On an issue like partial birth abortion, I strongly believe that the state can properly restrict late-term abortions. I have said so repeatedly. All I’ve said is we should have a provision to protect the health of the mother, and many of the bills that came before me didn’t have that."

Ok.......I'm wrong..he did not PROPOSE the legislation......I was pretty sure he did...

Done with it.

* So you're good with supporting a politician who is completely on board with late term. THAT was the basis of my comment. Obama sponsored this in the senate...I'm not and never could be. .

I didn't vote for him, so no, I do not support him. Said that many times here. As far as late term abortions, my views are the same as what RoadToad posted earlier.

** My values are based up and centered around Christian teachings......Folks are right that there are a crap ton of messages in the old testament, and in some cases the new, that I simply don't agree with. THAT doesn't mean anything except I'm capable of free thought. Am I going to hell for that..I sure hope not.

Problem is that there are a multitude of "Christian teachings". Too many folks take an al acart approach to religion/bible: they'll pick the parts that they agree with and disregard the rest. So how does one define Christian teachings? Even the answer of yours I quoted is cryptic in that regard.

What does this have to do with what I posted?

When you wrote "Banning same-sex marriage... unless it affects your family, then it's okay. And let's ban abortion, but once those babies are born, they're on their own... forget about helping them eat."

Some of us have very strong feelings on abortion. As I posted in the eyes of God it is a sin. An example would be having part of my taxed earnings go toward abortion.

Also even as a lowly repub my son came over a few weeks ago (which I am proud of)and was telling us of a family who have children and were in need of food in a bad way. We took them food.
