Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama is retracting the statement he made on abortion at the Saddleback Civil Forum in California back in August. Obama said then that deciding when a baby gains human rights (abortion) was “above my pay grade.”  Obama said on Sunday he was too “flip” in answering Pastor Rick Warren’s question.

Asked on Sunday whether the “above my pay grade” answer was too flip, Obama said: “Probably. …What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into … It’s a pretty tough question.
