Obama and Abortion

Obama is one of the most radical pro-choice candidates ever.  When Obama was serving in the Illinois State Senate, a bill was introduced in March 2001 that said," A live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law."
This bill was the result of a study of a Chicago-area hospital that left babies born alive in spite of an abortion to die without treatment.( I believe this is worse than Red China's forced abortions. If the baby is born alive there China cares for them.)
State Senator Obama was the ONLY senator to speak against the bill on the Senate floor.  Obama said," This is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny...whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause...if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place."
This is horse manure; the bill only applied to babies already born.  As for constitutional scrutiny see the Supreme Court's Partial-Birth Aborton Baby Act of 2003 in Gonzales vs Carhart. Yet Obama voted "present" on the bill.  This bill died in a House committee but was reintroduced in 3 separate bills in 2002.  This time Obama had the courage to vote no against the two bills that received a vote.  Again Obama spoke out against the bills in the Illinois State Senate.
"Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion presidential candidate ever," said conservative columnist Terence P. Jeffrey.
"I could find no instance in his entire career in which he voted for any regulation or restriction on the practice of abortion,"writes David Freddoso author of The Case Against Barack Obama.
Obama voted "present" on a vote requiring parental notifacation of a minor obtaining an abortion.
Obama is also for partial-birth abortions.  This horror involves partially delivering the baby, and then sucking its brains out.  We had a long fight ot get this bill passed.  It was twice voted by Bill Clinton. Then when we finally passed the bill under President George Bush the liberals took it to the Supreme Court.  But does that stop liberals like Barack Obama? No. In July 2007 Obama spoke before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act," said Obama.
The Freedom of Choice Act was introduced by US Senator Barbra Boxer and US Representative Jerrold Nadler.  This bill would gratly expand federal protection of abortion rights far beyond Roe vs Wade or Planned Parenthood vs Casey.  This bill would not only kill the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but would also invalidate many state and local abortion laws.  Basically you would get abortion on demand.  You can bet that the mainstream media won't mention any of this.
