Can you debunk the email PICTURED in the OP? That's the argument here. Can you do it or not?

It's really as simple as that. Even for you.
You're still buying "unborn fetus" argument. Aren't you? BTW, have you ever seen a born fetus?

White House Visitors Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two pictures in the OP. One is a picture of a woman and Obama, with Obama's arm around the woman. The other is a picture of Willy Mays on his 81st birthday. There is no picture of said e-mail. Nor is there a picture of said email in the Wiki link.

Love,

PT

I see everyone has chosen to address the abortion part of the issue but what is the logical reason for registering an unborn baby for a tour? For all we know this has been done for years so it may not be Obama specific.

I went on a tour of the White House when I was in High School and it was the most boring tour in DC unless you are really interested in dishes and furniture. Of course, that was a bazillion years ago. They could have jazzed it up since then.

You should know, if you start a thread along the lines instead of having a blind trust in blogs and lame websites as you tend to go with.

Lies don't take much to have an effect. So, tread carefully.

You have to submit the application weeks in advance of your visit. My guess is this was a response to someone who was pregnant and was planning a visit which would take place after the baby was born.

Easy button.

Not that anyone here knows how to use it when there are perfectly good anti-Obama/conspiracy theories to believe in.

Even I can send a fake e-mail to myself, take a picture of it and post it here. Anybody can do that.

I'm not saying it isn't genuine because I don't know, any more than you do. All's I'm saying is that it CAN be easily done.

Fact is, I spent the afternoon searching for this and couldn't corroborate it in any official area nor any reasonable news site. My verdict is that this is a hoax for that reason and it just doesn't pass the smell test. Nobody asks women if they are pregnant for tours.

Abortion is legal.

Does anyone see the disconnect here?
Convenient I'd say!
Again with the double standards!
