For Father's Day, Barack Obama spoke at at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, IL. In his address he stated that "responsibility doesn't just end at conception." This was addressed to fathers, who as he points out, all too often in the black community do not stick around to raise the children that they create. Now, this otherwise great challenge stuck out in my mind, not because of the social health that it can engender, but the contradictory message that it offers when compared with prior statements that he has made with regard to the conceptions of a child. Some time back Senator Obama commented that he did not want his daughters punished with a baby if they make a "mistake." So, let me understand this, men, if we make a baby our responsibility continues, but women if you want out of your own responsibility just abort that thing before it really is a child. This is the equal freedoms that Barack has talked about at rallies before audiences such as Planned Parenthood. I am not sure that this is all that coherent of a policy or consistent of thinking on his part. But you be the judge and listen to him tell you.
