Barack Hussein Obama was born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
When Roe v. Wade , 410 U.S. 113 was decided on 22 January 1973 he was not yet age 12 years.
My guess is he probably had no influence on the Court’s decision.
Presidents since Roe v. Wade was decided:
Gerald Ford ( R ) August 9, 1974
Jimmy Carter ( D ) January 20, 1977
Ronald Reagan ( R ) January 20, 1981
George H. W. Bush ( R ) January 20, 1989
Bill Clinton ( D ) January 20, 1993
George W. Bush ( R ) January 20, 2001
Barack Obama ( D ) January 20, 2009
If the pro-life- anti-choice groups are going to hold a President personally responsible for abortions performed in this country during his tenure, my guess is that quite a few more abortions were performed during George W. Bush’s 8 year reign of terror than during these past few months of President Obama’s presidency.
The truth is that President Obama, or any president for that matter, can do nothing to stop legal abortions. There must be a judicial reversal of Roe v. Wade, or an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Did you know that women do not have equal rights under the Constitution? We can’t even get the damned ERA passed! Women have equality on paper via legislation, and we are lucky to have that.
So, why aren’t they holding Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, or Ford responsible for the abortions performed while they were President? The right wing just want to blame President Obama for something, anything, everything. Someone told me recently that next thing you know, President Obama will be held responsible for the Crucifixion of Jesus. I would not be surprised to read that on a blog somewhere soon.
