Obama: Sermon on the Mount justifies same-sex unions

Cybercast New Service is reporting Barack Obama"s curious exegesis of Jesus"s Sermon on the Mount: The Illinois Democrat told a crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, yesterday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions.
"I don"t think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state," said Obama. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an
obscure passage in Romans."
Not sure how the first chapter of Romans qualifies as "obscure," unless that word means in Obama"s vernacular "something that conflicts with my policy positions."
Meanwhile, Obama also told the Nelsonville crowd that his pro-abortion position does not make him "less Christian."
Perhaps not, but it does make him less humane.
CNS points out that during his presidential dash, Obama has framed abortion as an issue between "a woman and her doctor." But human life has been lost in his rhetorical shuffle: As an Illinois state senator, Obama voted against a bill that would"ve defined as a "person" any child that was born alive after an attempted abortion.
If a born baby is not a person, what is it?
