Certainly not all Christians are opposed to abortion, and a traditional interpretation of the New Covenant would suggest that the work of Christ on the Cross is sufficient even for such a sin as this. However, the vast majority of American Christians, as well as the Catholic Church agree that abortion is both a sin, as well as a great moral scourge. Therefore, it seems relevant to include the senator’s views on the practice when attempting to construct a well-informed, balanced view of his beliefs.
To that end, every year that he has been a member of the United States Senate, Senator Obama has received a 100% rating from NARAL, an organization devoted to protecting and extending abortion rights nationwide. That means he is “perfectly” pro-choice, opposing limitations even on partial-birth abortions.
