Judicial activism

"I think that it's important for judges to understand that if a woman is out there trying to raise a family, trying to support her family, and is being treated unfairly, then the court has to stand up, if nobody else will. And that's the kind of judge that I want."
-Barack Obama

That isn't what judges are supposed to do. Judges are not there to be activists. They are there to apply the law based off of the Constitution of the United States of America. Why is it we even have a written constitution if judges can just make their decisions on what they personally think is fair?

Activist judges used the due process clause 14th amendment to say that anti-abortion laws were violating women's constitutional right to privacy. Not sure what that is? Well here you go:

"No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ..." (source)

I guess that whole depriving a person of life thing only applies if your mother finds it convenient. Now some will say that we don't know when a baby in the womb should be called a person. They may even say it is above their pay grade. Well if we don't know when then why don't we err on the side of caution? Everyone knows that human life begins at conception. To deny that is just sticking your head in the sand. Why is it ok to end that life simply because the mother doesn't want to take responsibility? What if the mother of an infant no longer wants the responsibility? If the baby is ok to kill at 6 months in the womb why can't he be killed at 1 month outside?

I have no doubt that if elected president Barack Obama will appoint activist judges to the supreme court. I base that off of his record and previous statements. He will sign the the freedom of choice act which will make partial birth abortions completely legal again.

If you think it is a good idea to kill babies in this way then by all means vote for Barack Obama. If you don't then vote for someone else.
