Obama and abortion

I almost shudder to even ask this - but is there anyone here who will vote for Obama, in the light of his radical pro-abortion positions?

I am responding to the very disturbing article in the National Catholic Register of today, 8/27/08,
"Obama’s ‘Born-Alive’ Problem" - which reveals his refusal to protect infants born alive after an attempted abortion to kill them.

What barbarism! I pray our bishops will loudly and plainly and forcefully speak out this time! Catholics must unite for the defense of life!

In the interest of full disclosure, as they say, I will admit my collusion with showmanship at the very beginning of this article: The fact is that I watched the opening night of the Democratic Convention from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. But I'm not sure what I saw. Was this a solemn civic event or a political variation of "Entertainment Tonight?"
