I'm not Catholic...  but in reading an article from National Review Online entitled "Catholics for Obama?" I ran across this quote (shown in context from the article). 

Barack Obama says he would never want his daughters to be “punished” by the birth of an unplanned baby. The Catholic Catechism instructs that a child “must be treated from conception as a person.” Obama, as an Illinois state senator, opposed legislation that would protect babies born alive in botched abortion attempts. He explained, “whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a — a child, a 9-month old — child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it — it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute.”

This is the person who is leading in polls around the country.  It scares me that in his eyes, a 9 month old baby has rights that a new born does not.

anyone else scared by this guy?

Wow.  Updated.

Now that is just awesome, no?  McCain looks like he's going to run away with the nomination - and then the country, right?  Can he really beat either of the democratic front runners?  I don't know, but I don't like the way this is shaping up either way.

As if even more proof were needed that Senator John McCain is a Liberal in a Republican's clothing...
