Obama & Infanticide
Take a look at this article by non-partisan Fact Check.org. It addresses the controversy between the National Right to Life folks and Senator Barak Obama.

Text: John 8:31-36

Palin Addresses Obama’s Abortion Position
In a speech delivered in Pennsylvania, Governor Palin observed:
