[Vision2020] Obama Does Not Support Infanticide

[g. crabtree]

Gier states "Obama and his Democratic colleagues objected to the bill (giving any fetus born alive the status of a person) because they thought it was unconstitutional and that it undermined Roe v. Wade." I find it amazing that anyone could find this position reasonable or even rational.


What causes you to believe  that you are well enough acquainted with my thought process so as to be able to determine what it is that I "must mean" on any given topic? I was actually referring to BHO's extreme opposition to the ban on partial birth abortion and his strident criticism of the Supreme Court for upholding it when I made the comment you were referring to.You did somehow manage to be correct in one respect however. I am as adamantly opposed to killing children a few hours after they are born as I am a few hours before. Your *after the fact* rationalization for his opposition to the Illinois states Born Alive Infants Protection Act tries to come across as plausible but, the fact of the matter is that Barry is not going to buck the pro-abortion crowd on any issue no matter how bizarre or gruesome. They are his base and some of his most generous contributors. After all, what's a few thousand babies when there's an election to win?

> The claim that Obama supports infanticide is a lie.  This is what Don Meyer claims in a letter to the Daily Snooz this morning and what Crabtree must mean when he once referred to Obama's" incredible" view on abortion.  I submit that knowing and supporting the Constitution is nothing is out of the ordinary.  
> 
> It all started in a Chicago hospital where someone charged that aborted fetuses still living were simply discarded. The fact is that the Illinois Department of Public Health reported that "the allegation that infants were allowed to expire in a utility room could not be substantiated, and all staff interviewed denied that any infant was ever left alone."
> 
> Some Illinois legislators overacted to these allegations, and they tried to pass a poorly worded bill that would have given any fetus born alive the status of a person. Obama and his Democratic colleagues objected to the bill because they thought it was unconstitutional and that it undermined Roe v. Wade.
> 
> Later Obama said that he would have supported the federal version of this bill, because it did not have any language granting personhood to the early fetus and thereby undermining a woman's right to choose.
> 
> Obama also argued that the Illinois bill was unnecessary because "existing Illinois law already requires doctors to provide medical care in the very rare case that babies are born alive during abortions." If the one making these charges were credible, prosecutors would have filed charges long ago.
> 
> Public health officials and prosecutors are accountable to the people, but anti-abortion activists are accountable only to their anti-choice ideology.
