Black Pastor Can't Support Barack Obama

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading African-American pastor says he can't support Barack Obama because the presidential candidate is out of the mainstream when it comes to abortion. Pastor Clenard Childress, says Obama is favors unlimited abortions and wants to overturn state laws to reduce abortions. Childress, the senior pastor of New Calvary Baptist Deliverance Church in Montclair, New Jersey, is still taken aback by a comment Obama made during his prior campaign for the U.S. Senate, in which he employed abortion is not an important issue because few of his supporters asked him about it. "As I travel around this state ... I don't get asked about abortion," Obama said at the time. "As an elected official, should anyone have to ask you about abortion to make it your concern?" Childress says. "We are deeply troubled, but not surprised at the Senator's remarks," Childress said of the growing number of black Americans who will not vote for Obama. "One would only have to look at Obama's consistent support and advocacy for the .. abortion industry to understand."
