No raining...really. We LOVE you and it's YOUR blog. That is what's great about being in this country, you are free to express your opinion along with everyone else. Truthfully? My issue with Obama is that he supports abortion. He feels that if his daughter were to "make a mistake" (by getting pregnant) that she shouldn't have to pay for that mistake. That's my issue. Don't take it personal. It's not meant to be. :)

well judging by the obamas' socioeconomic status their girls would have the knowledge and resources to not have an unwanted pregnancy (ie access to contraception, empowerment to avoid abusive relationships, etc) and even if one of his girls were to get pregnant they have a supportive network of family and friends that would make it easier for them to carry a baby to full term and either a. put it i up for adoption or b. have the family help to raise the child. (take the Palins for example)
Now, his children are 9 and 6 years old so I think we're jumping the gun a little bit on assuming that they're going have unwanted pregnancies.
I guess what I am saying is that I agree with you that every child has a right to life but lets not assume that Obama is doing this just so his own children won't get into "trouble." The issue is much more complicated than that.
