The Editor, Sir:

Contrary to the world's political pundits, the most important issue facing humanity in the upcoming United States election is the fundamental 'right to life' of every human being.

It is here that Barack Obama's core beliefs and record fundamentally disagree with the nation's founding principles that are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence which states 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".

Supports abortion

Obama is governed by the Marxist belief that the end justifies the means. As a result, he vigorously supports abortion and embryonic stem-cell research as if such people were a subclass of human beings.

In 2002, as an Illinois legislator, he supported infanticide by vetoing the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which would have protected babies who were accidentally born alive during attempts to abort them.

An estimated 1.3 million innocent children are murdered each year in the US through the Obama-adopted policy of abortion. Without the right to life, no other human right makes sense.

Obama also fully supports contraceptives and homosexuality which thwarts the natural generation of life and which is the antithesis of the family. Rather than favouring prayer in schools, he advocates the distribution of condoms. He is in favour of same-sex marriage and the adoption of children by gay couples.

Obama is a false prophet who preaches 'change' and 'hope' while pursuing a culture of death.

Though the slogan 'change' is usually invoked to signify something positive, in this case it hides a different agenda - one which is very dangerous for America and the world.
