Here are just a few examples from
President Barack Obama’s Pro-Abortion Record. Not a pretty picture, unless you like pictures of genocide. & that is exactly what Obama has presided over & condoned, the mass genocide of the unborn. Instead of being president he should be locked up in jail for life for aiding & abetting in the murder of about 3 million babies since taking office.*

See 28 Feb 2009 for more.)
