According to presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill), children are a form of punishment:
I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD...
Certainly an unwanted pregnancy is a consequence of irresponsible sexual promiscuity, but calling a child a punishment in the same league as an STD? How can that come from the mouth of a father?
It's certainly interesting (not to mention disturbing), the picture we get of Obama, when he goes off script and tells us what he really thinks. It certainly contradicts the picture he's been trying; that of a man who transcends ideology. I call new life a blessing... he considers it a punishment...
Consider me untranscended.
