Obama's comment about the determination of when live begins being "above his paygrade" continues to surface in the news. Wall Street Journal had an article about it today. Folks continue to say "it's a theological issue" - but I see it as not theological at all. I added my comment to the WSJ article:
From conception, the fetus is living (as in “not dead”), it is human (DNA proves this), and it is not the mother (DNA proves this). So from conception, there is a unique, living, distinct human.
This is simple science and reason, it’s not theology. Anyone who cannot follow this simple logic is not fit to hold any position of leadership. Most issues are far more complex than this, so if Obama can’t follow this, he needs to go back to elementary school.

Nov 6, 2008 update - Mr. Obama is now president-elect. Clearly he's a smart man and knows the unborn baby is a living human. He just won't say it, as the ramifications to him are too painful. It would be a real "change" - not the hype from the campaign.
Mr. Obama - "yes, you can" stand up for all Americans - especially the most vulnerable.
