We should take the contents of this story and preserve them in stone or amber in order to show radical pro-lifers just what Obama believes about abortion. The DN prints way too many letters claiming that Obama=no restrictions on abortion at all. Then they use this incorrect information as a club to call him a "baby killer", etc.

Obama the "Guru of Change" - what he really means by "change" is that he will change his position on any issue, depending upon what crowd he is playing to, for political expediency.

I guess by voting present most of the time on this issue Obama can define himself anyway he wants to know.
