Obama in SOTU: We believe in ‘dignity and equality of every human being’

Obama in SOTU: We believe in ‘dignity and equality of every human being’

In his annual State of the Union address last night, Obama made a statement about human life that he would be hard-pressed to defend if the pre-born could speak loudly enough to challenge him on it:

We believe in the inherent dignity and equality of every human being regardless of race or religion, creed or sexual orientation.

In reality, the fact is that when a person does not stand for the dignity and equality of the unborn, he cannot consistently stand for the dignity and equality of everyone else. Obama doesn’t stand for who those children are, or what they will become if they are allowed to be born.

Until a child has bypassed all of the threats with which he is faced prior to birth — no thanks to Obama’s vehemently anti-life American policies — Obama does not recognize its “inherent dignity and equality.” If dignity and equality were “inherent” to “all human beings,” as he claims, then they exist indivisible from the human being from the moment it becomes a human being (which, science tells us, is at the moment of fertilization).

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

But, even the statement that “being born” is a prior requirement to Obama assigning dignity and equality must be qualified: even being born alive isn’t enough for Obama to respect a human being’s dignity. He made this clear when he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times before taking office.

He makes this clear when he wishes God’s blessing upon Planned Parenthood, an organization that staunchly defends its practice of allowing born-alive children to die helpless on their tables after failed abortions.

When Obama’s supposed belief in the inherent dignity and equality of humans actually begins, in his mind, is a mystery; but one thing is for certain: the part about it applying to “every human being” is simply a lie.
