VIDEO: Baby cries during Obama's pro-abortion remarks at Notre Dame

Oh, so fitting, all things considered. Turn up your speakers quite a bit to hear it because the sound on the video is low.

CNS has the story:

During Sunday’s speech at Notre Dame, Obama referred to a doctor who voted for him in the 2004 Democratic Senate primary in Illinois and who “described himself as Christian who was strongly pro-life.” The doctor objected to language on Obama’s Senate campaign Web site that said Obama would battle “right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman’s right to choose.”

Obama explained that the doctor “had assumed I was a reasonable person…but if I truly believed that every pro-life individual was simply an ideologue who wanted to inflict suffering on women, then I was not very reasonable.”

The doctor sent Obama a letter where, according to the president, he stated, “I do not ask at this point that you oppose abortion, only that you speak about this issue in fair-minded words.”

As Obama repeated the term “fair-minded words,” the cry of a baby—that had been heard intermittently before that as Obama spoke about the issue–broke out clearly and could be heard on national television broadcasts.

The arena where the president spoke is the Joyce Center, which has a capacity of 11,418, and is where Notre Dame’s basketball team plays its home games. It appeared to be filled to capacity for the graduation ceremony.

As there continued to be outbursts of the baby’s cry audible on television broadcasts, Obama indicated that he had removed from his Web site the entry that the doctor did not like, but that he did not change his pro-abortion position.

Sigh …

This illustrates the basic problem the pro-aborts have with babies – they’re inconvenient. They interrupt you with their demands for food, attention, and love. They don’t let you pursue your goals and dreams uninterrupted. They force you to make choices to accomodate them.

That’s what is so wonderful about babies. They bring in the fresh breath of life to an overly self-involved, narrow-minded focus on me, me, me. They broaden you, by being the one person that you can’t ignore to reach your goal in a timely fashion. They make you deal with messy humanity.

Women used to be different from men. We used to spend less time on our own ambitions, and deal with the here and now. We used to “interrupt” our days to include time for children, the elderly, and the handicapped. The phrase “stop and smell the roses” was internalized by women in the past. Today, many would not even pause their onward and upward march to think about the implications of that message.

It’s all about me today. They say I want to have sex (funnily, many of them seem to have quite unsatisfying sex, at least to judge by the complaints they have). But, I want no consequences for that decision.

They haven’t learned that decisions ALWAYS have consequences.

Don’t forget…babies are bad for the environment, too. This was an eample of the noise pollution they emit.

Having raised three little ones, I can say it is the most wonderful and fulfilling time of my life. I enjoyed watching them grow and learn and was able to be a stay a home mom….busy with other things, too, but mostly concentrating on the kids. Housework could wait if there was a picture that we could draw together, a story that I could read to them, etc. I wouldn’t trade that for the world. By the way, I never used disposable diapers…I used a diaper service. I breastfed all of them to about one year of age, saving my husband thousands of dollars. During that time period my husband and I built a house together (no general contractors or subs….we did it all basically). So the kids were not an inconvenience as some would think.

It’s really a shame that some people look at children as a roadblock to their happiness, when in reality they are the reason for living and help you grow and mature!
