2004 Obama: A fetus is a “potential” life and not just a collection of cells, but viability a “moving target”

Here’s a 2004 version of Obama giving his opinion on abortion where he states that a fetus is not just a collection of cells, but is a “potential” life. However, he adds “we don’t impose our religious views on others” and therefore he’s not going to tell a woman what to do with her body. Regarding viability, he didn’t seem to really want to define that point as he said it’s been a moving target over the years with improvements in medicine.

Watch the clip:

David Brody with CBN wants to know why Obama would come out against the 2007 partial birth abortion ban upheld by the Supreme Court if he believes that a fetus is more than just a collection of cells:

Second of all, in the video Obama says how “a fetus is not just a collection of cells.” Well, if that’s the case, then it raises the question of why Barack Obama would come out AGAINST the 2007 Supreme Court ruling that upheld partial birth abortion. If you think there is some “potential life” growing inside a woman, then wouldn’t you be against partial birth abortion?
