Abortion's Death as a Wedge Issue in the West

Posted November 14, 2008

Reader Comments

The anti-abortion plank is all Palin is clear about supporting. This is why she will not "lead" anything in national politics. Abortion is not the hot button it once was.

If you want less abortions, go after corporations that are sexualizing everything in America via media and porn.

Lies and distortions on this issue

If anyone believes that Barack Obama would allow innocent babies who are born alive during an induced labor or any other procedure to be denied medical care and the right to live is just plain crazy or a liar. How can anyone be so insane as to think he is that kind of monster?

He voted against that legislation, because there was already an Illinois law which covered the right of all babies to any medical care needed to sustain them at their birth.

He has addressed this over and over again. Obama is more than willing to be moderate on the subject of abortion. He hates the idea of late term abortions, and would support a ban if some exceptions could be made. The total inflexibility of the Right to Lifers is what makes this a no win issue for us all.

RE de facto infanticide

OMG! .... I never knew this ... It is so sick I can not even imagine such a terrible thing.. why before voting does the press not inform us on stuff like this? ... all I can say as a man who is a independent and liberal that I would never support such a thing ..

Now I am wandering will I be able to sleep with this on my mind, simply for the reason, that I voted for this crazy man , I was duped .

de facto infanticide and BO

NO MATTER WHAT SIDE YOU SUPPORT, WEATHER YOU ARE FOR ABORTION OR YOU ARE NOT THIS IS A FACTOR THAT WE ALL MUST TAKE TIME TO VIEW AS HUMAN BEINGS EVEN MOST FEMS/DEMS/REPS/LIBS/INDEPENDENTS/GAYS/STRAIGHTS/BLACK/WHITE/RED/YELLOW/GOD BELIEVER/THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD/DISAGREE WITH THIS PROCESS.

Watch OBAMA at this link supporting de facto infanticide

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=202523 in vidio his own WORDS.

Infanticide is a disgusting, cruel, revolting inhuman act that not even Obama’s staunchest supports can defend - it is indefensible -but, it is true.

Obama does in fact support infanticide.

What is infanticide? It is the killing of babies.

There is an abortion procedure called “induced labor abortion.” This is not the same as a partial birth abortion. In induced labor abortion medicine is inserted into the mother in order to make her cervix dilate. Once dilated the baby will deliver. It is assumed the baby will die during the course of delivery. However, 10 to 20% of babies survive this procedure. Some live for a few minutes. Others have lived up to 8 hours without any medical intervention.

When a bill was presented in Illinois to provide medical care for these babies who survive these botched abortions Obama voted “no,” - not once, not twice, not three times but four times- four times Obama voted to not provide any medical treatment to these surviving babies because it would possibly make the mother rethink her decision to abort in the first place. Never mind that once that baby is out of the mothers womb it is no longer a threat to the life of the mother.

Hear Obamas words, see his record, then you decide who lies and who offends. Despite our views on abortion, certainly we can all agree that babies who survive botched abortions are deserving of medical care.

Why doesn’t Obama and why does he lie about his own record?

An Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama opposed the Illinois Born Alive Infants

Protection Act. The legislation defined any infant born alive as a “person” who deserves full legal protection.

The Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act was modeled after the federal version, with the identical definition of “born alive.” The World Health Organization created this definition in 1950. The United Nations adopted it in 1955.

Obama actively opposed the legislation in the Illinois State Senate. In 2001, he voted no in committee, spoke against it on the Senate floor, and voted present on the floor. In 2002, he voted no in committee, spoke against it on the Senate floor,

and voted no on the floor. Obama was the sole senator to ever speak against it on the Senate floor.

The U.S. Senate passed the federal bill unanimously, with Senators Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy speaking in support of it.The pro-abortion group NARAL expressed neutrality on the federal bill. On August 5, 2002, President George W. Bush signed it into law.

For four years Obama has said he would have supported the federal version, but that simply isn’t true. In 2003, as chairman of the Illinois Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, Obama voted yes on an amendment that made the Illinois version identical to the federal one. However, he then voted no on the amended bill.

Note the first vote under “DP#1” or “Do Pass Amendment #1” was to allow the amendment to be added, making this bill identical to the federal Born Alive bill. The second vote under “DPA” or “Do Pass as Amended” was on the bill as amended. Obama voted to amend the bill and then voted against the amended bill.

"MORE PRAGMATIC CONCERNS..."

I guess those concerns are only more pragmatic if one survives their 9 months in the womb - Once a place where love and life were nurtured... Now, too often, turned into a slaughter house for the sake of convenience.
