Abortion-happy Obama terminates his evangelical support approximately 2 months before it was to deliver

Abortion was part of Saturday's political smackdown at the evangelical Saddleback Church. John McCain re-asserted his belief that life begins at the moment of conception. Barack Obama, who is pro-choice, said that defining the second an embryo becomes a life is "above his paygrade."

Pro-life conservative Andrew Sullivan defended Obama's comment, pointing out that the Pope has no idea either. (Although, to be fair, Obama makes more than the Pope.)

When do you think an embryo becomes a human being?

When the G.O.P. needs to scare up evangelical votes.

When it's a boy.

When it puts its dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Goddamn it, do I look like your personal maid?

When I decide to have it.
