OBAMA LOG cont'd

More triangulation...

*Adds to assault on third trimester abortion rights by gratuitously expressing opposition to allowing "mental distress" to justify late term abortion. Explains that while he supports a health exception to abortion restrictions, the exception can't apply just because a woman is "feeling blue."

*Reaffirms commitment to faith-based delivery of public social services in remarks to a conference of the African Methodist Episcopalian Church. Suggests he would apply the lessons of his church/faith to his policy decisions as president.
