Obama is sending out his Christian surrogates to explain his view on abortion and poverty. I doubt they’ll mention the infanticide part of his abortion policy:

Barack Obama’s campaign enlisted evangelical author Donald Miller on a tour through battleground states called “Barack Obama: Faith, Family and Values Tour,” a campaign official told Christianity Today.Miller, Pepperdine University professor Doug Kmiec, and former Indiana Congressman pro-life Democrat Tim Roemer will speak to groups in community centers and gyms before taking questions. They plan to talk about where Obama and his running mate Joe Biden stand on issues like poverty and abortion.

Here’s a video of Miller before the DNC convention explaining why he’s doing this:You know, social justice isn’t just about the poor, it’s also about the oppressed and who is more oppressed in this nation than the infant who is ripped from his mother’s womb, who Obama refused to grant the status of human being (he said it would less Roe v. Wade). That’s oppression and yet Donald Miller dismisses them with a few bills that the Democrats have passed. But anything they’ve gained from less abortions due to social conditions will be lost when they start paying for abortions out of the federal budget (don’t think that they won’t do that, they’ve tried to in the past). If someone is going to Obama’s faith tour, they might want to ask Donald Miller about that.
