He calls himself a "devout Christian"?
Christians for Social Justice seeks to change public opinion on the most fundamental social justice issue of our day – abortion.
We applaud the entrance of an African American into the race for Presidency. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that we should judge someone “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." We believe it is long past time for America to elect an African American President.
Having said that, it is not Obama’s race or ethnicity with which we have serious concerns.
Take a look at a brief review of his record on key issues other than abortion:
In 1999, Obama voted against a bill barring early release for (criminal) sex offenders.
Obama voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers.
Obama voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade.
In 2001, Obama voted “present” on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches.
He unsuccessfully sponsored limit of one handgun purchase per month. (2000)
Voted against making gang members eligible for the death penalty if they kill someone to help their gang. (2001)

Despite his abysmal record on these other issues we need to ask the question: Is there any other issue as foundational as the right to life?”
CSFJ grants that there are other legitimate issues that need to be addressed. As Americans, we share in our concern for these other issues, but not at the expense of the most fundamental value of all - life.
CFSJ is concerned about what an Obama presidency would mean to the United States, especially our weakest members - pre born children.
Obama voted against outlawing Partial Birth Abortion(In 1997, Obama voted “present” an Illinois ban)
Obama voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. (In 2002, Obama voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, and the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.)
Obama voted in support of homosexual unions. (06/07/2006, Same Sex Marriage Resolution)
Americans need to understand the importance of protecting the right to life as a logical precursor to the extension of all other rights and privileges. The fundamental right to life must be any civilized nation's top priority. If we fail to secure the right to life for the people of the United States none of the other rights matter.
As an African America, Sen. Obama is very familiar with the struggle for human rights. Of all the candidates for president He should be defending the pre-born not aiding in thier destruction. Abortion in the African American community is at an epidemic rate accounting for over 36% of all abortions committed. Regardless, Obama has always been an outspoken abortion supporter.
Pr. 28:17 says, “A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.”
Obama's support for abortion makes him unfit to be president of the United States.
We believe that any candidate who supports the slaughter of pre-born babies is unfit for public office. A candidate cannot be "right" enough on other issues to make up for being "wrong" on the unalienable right to life.
As our Declaration of Independence states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ...
Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is viciously pro-abortion. He denies the most basic human right given to us by our creator. In fact, he even goes beyond the pro-abortion position of some fellow Democrats by supporting of the brutal act of partial birth abortion.
Partial Birth Abortion
Generations yet born will judge America on the basis of how we treat the most vulnerable. Will America hold to her founding commitment to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?” or will we elect a man who denies the right to life to the powerless and defenseless?
For the sake of our nation and our posterity – Sen. Barack Hussein Obama must not become President of the United States.
However, it is Obama’s position on abortion that mainly concerns us. Sen. Obama supports abortion on demand. Christians for Social Justice, and ObamaNation.com is not affiliated, endorsed, authorized, or funded by any candidate or candidate's campaign committee
