Obama's words in the proper context
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/obama-...find-grace
Quote:PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:
We do not know whether the killer of Reverend Pinckney and eight others knew all of this history, but he surely sensed the meaning of his violent act, an act that he imagined would incite fear and recrimination, violence and suspicion, an act that he presumed would deepen divisions that trace back to our nation's original sin.
Oh, but God works in mysterious ways.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:
God has different ideas.
Out of this terrible tragedy, God has visited grace upon us, for he has allowed us to see where we have been blind.
(APPLAUSE)
BARACK OBAMA:
And I'm convinced that, by acknowledging the pain and loss of others, even as we respect the traditions and ways of life that make up this beloved country, by making the moral choice to change, we express God's grace.
(APPLAUSE)
(PRESIDENT OBAMA AND AUDIENCE SING "AMAZING GRACE"
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/obama-...find-grace
"Change was inevitable"

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
