Obama's War on Children

With the Democrats ramping up their rhetoric about the Republicans' war on women, their war on the poor, their war on people of color, and their war on seniors (promoted as their attacks on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security), is the president waging a different war -- a war on children?  Why is no one yet talking in any significant way about his campaign to destroy our children -- intellectually, economically, spiritually, and literally?
Don't think that this administration is antagonistic toward children?  Well, consider the following actions by Obama and his administrative and legislative cohorts:
Destroying children inside and outside the womb
Whether or not you believe that life happens at conception or at some later point during pregnancy, the destruction of children due to partial-birth abortions is despicable and a literal war on children's lives.  A number of times, Obama castigated the Supreme Court for its decision to uphold the 2003 Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.  At a 2008 fundraiser on the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Obama had this to say: "Last year, the Supreme Court decided by a vote of 5-4 to uphold the Federal Abortion Ban, and in doing so undermined an important principle of Roe v. Wade: that we must always protect women's health."
