Obama Unable Answer Question About Human Rights for Babies

Want to know why Obama ducks debates?

Pastor Rick Warren moderated the Civil Forum on the Presidency Saturday evening with Barack Obama and John McCain. It was primarily a discussion on values.

During the discussion, Warren asked Obama "At what point does a baby get human rights in your view:"

Obama: "Well,*sigh* yo, I, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, uh, answering that question with specificity, uh, you know is, is, above my pay grade."

Democrats are constantly touting themselves as the defender of human rights and the weakest among us and their candidate can't even state the point he believes a baby deserves human rights?

Yet progressive socialists in Spain are now granting legal rights to apes?

Do America's voters really want to put someone in the White House so unsure of the basic value of a human life?
