I just read an interesting piece on abortion and the illustrious Obama...

I thought of this thread when I read this.

Wes Mantooth on here said, "Forcing beliefs?.... a woman does not want the fetus inside her that currently does not have the ability to live outside of her body."

Be honest here...how can ANYONE be against protecting a baby born alive?

CitizenLink: Obama Blocked Born Alive Infant Protection Act

"An Illinois lawmaker offered the first draft of the state’s Born Alive Infant Protection Act in 2001 after I revealed publicly that Christ Hospital left babies who survived abortion — viable babies whose delivery was induced, and whom the abortionist intended to kill but somehow survived — in a utility room to die."

Now, on to the guy who views a baby as a punishment:

"I happened to be at the Capitol that day, too, and a friend and I took the opportunity to speak to Obama, who had not yet achieved rock-star status and was still approachable.

We were in Springfield to lobby for passage of the state Born Alive Infant Protection Act, legislation that would require hospitals to care for infants who survive an abortion. Obama spoke against the legislation in 2001 and 2002 and single-handedly defeated it in committee in 2003.

My friend stood in Obama’s path and said, “Senator, we are going to pass Born Alive here in Illinois this year.”

Obama smiled smoothly and agreed, “I think you will,” adding, “I would have voted for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois had it been worded the same as the federal bill. I think that’s the position the Democrats should take.”

There’s just one thing he forgot to mention: Obama had stopped his committee from adding the federal wording.

With Obama no longer in the state Senate, the Born Alive legislation passed in 2005."

Now, doesn't this take the "viability" arguement to task?

Face it: abortion is about killing. Couple that with partial-birth abortion, where the baby is arguably "viable outside the womb". He/She is delivered deliberately feet-first, and then murdered while the head is still inside the mother's body.

Is this the legal hairsplitting the anti-life croud has taken us? If the head is inside the mother, then he/she is still not a life worth protecting and saving?

It's amazing how many far Left organizations defend planned parenthood when one of the primary purposes of that terrible group was to greatly reduce the black population.

But don't expect Reverand Wright to spout off about that before he retires to his 10,000 square foot mansion.
