'Help me to understand the meaning of your commandments' Psalm 119:27
Catholics emphasize the authority of the church when talking about interpreting scripture. Protestants stress the individual conscience before God, balanced by the church. The recent mishap over the date of the End was down to a certain individual not listening to the wider church on the issue, just as Bush went into Iraq against the advice of his Methodist denomination.
It seems that Obama is only willing to listen to liberals on the issue of abortion, rather than the majority of evangelicals and catholics. I think that is a mistake. There is no need to parse 'do not murder' (Exodus 20:13 CEV) so that the unborn are not included.
