A question for Mr. Obama...When did your daughters life begin?

Question

...at conception or at birth?

Answer 1

Mr. Obama doesn't spend time in the Yahoo Answers chat forum. You could try writing a letter to his office if you really need to know.

Answer 2

i dont think Obama is on YA

Answer 3

His words:

Q: Do you personally believe that life begins at conception?

A: This is something that I have not come to a firm resolution on. I think it's very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when the soul stirs? So I don't presume to know the answer to that question. What I know is that there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that that has a moral weight to it that we take into consideration when we're having these debates.

Answer 4

I know you are making a reference to Roe vs Wade.

I am old enough to remember how it was before the amendment was enacted. What happened was, women with money simply traveled to where an abortion was legal and had one. Women without money had them done on a black market. This created a situation that had very bad circumstances. It did not stop abortions, any more than pot laws keep people from using the drug.

Enactment of the law was an enlightenment. Abortions did not increase. Before the law, there was no way of knowing how many abortions were done successfully. Only the ones that cause the mother's death or injury were recorded.

Legislating morality only on economic lines cannot work. Education is the only answer and a better system to take unplanned children. The present foster care system is not working, and no one wants to put a child into it.

Common sense tells me that reversal of the law is not the answer. I would hope as a country we could find a better way.

Yeah, your anti-choice campaign is really going to take off by asking a major presidential candidate a question on Yahoo Answers. Good job.
