Justin Taylor interacts with the thoughts of Robert P.George:
Readers of this blog know the esteem I hold for Robert P. George–in my view (and that of many others), he is one of the great moral philosophers and public intellectuals of our time. With a law degree and a theology degree from Harvard, and a doctorate from Oxford, he currently serves as McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, and as the director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. He also serves on The President’s Council on Bioethics and previously served on the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
Dr. George is a man who chooses his words very carefully. And that is why his latest essay, Obama’s Abortion Extremism, is so significant. It begins in this way:
“Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress.”

“Above his pay grade”…Hmm… you could ask any 4 yr. old if it is right to kill babies and they would know that answer clearly; and people want this man to lead the country!!!
It is extremely disheartening to think that this man, unfortunately, may be elected to be the leader of our nation. I am thankful that we can rest in the fact that our God is a sovereign God!
