James Dobson Mourns Obama Victory, Forecasts Significant Abortion Promotion : 20th Nov 08


Well-known American writer and defender of family values, Dr. James Dobson, has aired a two-part radio programme in response to US presidential election results in which he both lamented Barack Obama's victory and forecast significant promotion of abortion by the incoming administration.

He says Obama's election could set the pro-life movement back 35 years. Dobson told his listeners he is "in the midst of a grieving process" over Obama's election victory but only because of the impact it will have on the fight to protect human life. "I'm not grieving over Barack Obama's victory, but over the loss of things that I've fought for for 35 years", he said.

Dr Dobson said he wished he could have voted for the nation's first black president but couldn't bring himself to do so because of the million of unborn children who will be killed under an Obama administration.

"But to be honest, I have to say that his win causes me enormous concern, because he will be the most committed pro-abortion president in our history, even supporting infanticide for babies who survive botched abortions",

Dr Dobson said. He worries Obama is "going to appoint the most liberal justices to the Supreme Court, perhaps, that we've ever had." LifeNews.com.
