A society’s first task

In the signing speech for his executive orders, Obama, referencing the children flanking him but including by inference the nation’s children, said, “What we should be thinking about is our responsibility to care for them, to shield them from harm.”

For once, I agree with the president. But those words — coming from a man who seems fine with some 3,000 children dying daily in the country’s abortion clinics and who, through the contraceptive mandate, intends to coerce conscientious objectors into becoming unwilling participants in at least some of those abortions — are ironic indeed.
