Religious right leader James Dobson to Obama: Come at me, bro!

The Focus on the Family founder describes himself as locked in battle with "the abortion president"

ELIAS ISQUITH


In a combative speech on Thursday, Christian evangelical and longtime religious right leader James Dobson depicted himself as locked in an epic struggle with President Obama over abortion and contraception more generally, at one point going so far as dare the president to “come and get (him).”

“President Obama, before he was elected, made it very clear that he wanted to be the abortion president,” Dobson explained to an audience gathered to celebrate the “national day of prayer.”

“He didn’t … make any bones about it, that this is something that he really was going to promote and support, and he has done that, and in a sense he is the abortion president,” Dobson continued. “And early on, in his first term, he announced … that every American that gets insurance, which would be almost all of us, would have to pay a surcharge … and that we would have to pay it and that would go towards the support of abortion.”

Dobson then proceeded to read something he had written years ago, an explanation of why he would never pay Obama’s pro-abortion surcharge.

He has no regard for the woman's choice. Men need to stay out of it. I've tried to read some of the WND articles, but they are slanted in the extreme. Is he on the same path as RushBo? What or who is financing this stuff? Signed, nearly Speechless.

And I am very glad about that.

Dobson can suck it.
