Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a Thursday interview with NBC News, Barack Obama repeated the pledge he's made throughout the campaign. Obama indicated he would only appoint judges to the Supreme Court who support unlimited abortions, in what is a clear pro-abortion litmus test for federal justices.

"Well, look, I think that you -- what you can ask a judge is about their judicial philosophy," he said when asked how he would make selections if he defeats John McCain on Tuesday.

"I can tell you that how a Justice approaches their job, how they describe the path of interpreting the Constitution, I think can tell you a lot," he added.

"And so my criteria, for example, would be -- if a Justice tells me that they only believe the strict letter of the Constitution -- that means that they possibly don't mean -- believe in -- a right to privacy that may not be perfectly enumerated in the Constitution but, you know, that I think is there," Obama said.

AOL News blogger Mark Impomeni understood the clear meaning of Obama's words.

"No originalist judges need apply," Impomeni wrote in response. "The right to privacy is a code word for abortion rights. The focus of liberal jurisprudence since Roe v. Wade first conferred the right to an abortion has been the protection of that 'right.'"

And with Roe guaranteeing virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy for any reasons, based on the so-called privacy right, Obama is confirming his intent to only select pro-abortion judges who want no limits on abortion.
