Surely you're familiar with this issue of Obama repeatedly voting to deny lifesaving care to infants born alive following botched abortion attempts. This whole issue makes me feel physically ill to even think about. Today I received the following article from the Wisconsin Right to Life PAC.
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 ~Consider this ironic supposition. Given what has been made public about Barack Obama's childhood, one has to wonder: If abortion had been legal in 1961, would his mother have carried him to term? Surely he's thought of that. I can't believe he is so determined for babies to die!
Barack Obama is so desperate to continue the cover-up of his four votes as an Illinois State Senator to deny lifesaving treatment to babies who survive abortions that he is airing an ad attacking Gianna Jessen. Gianna survived a late-term abortion 31 years ago and appears in her own ad questioning why Obama would deny treatment to babies like her.
The issue is clearly getting under Obama's skin because anyone who talks about it is branded a liar. His ad indignantly proclaims, "Obama's always supported medical care to protect infants." Really? There are four recorded votes in the Illinois Senate of Obama voting against legislation to provide lifesaving treatment for abortion survivors.
Obama even spoke against one of the measures on the Illinois Senate floor, essentially saying that "pre-viable" babies who survive abortions do not deserve care. In other words, if a woman wants a dead baby, we should preserve her "right" to one, even if the baby is alive and breathing and fully separated from her.
Obama has become completely unglued over the discovery of committee votes by the National Right to Life Committee which indisputably prove that as the chair of an Illinois Senate committee, he voted for language to make the Illinois bill before his committee virtually identical to the federal law which was approved unanimously by the U.S. Congress. Obama then voted against the amended bill. He continues to weakly claim that he would have voted for a bill that was the same as the federal one, given the chance.
Even FactCheck.com has looked at the evidence and concluded that Obama is not telling the truth about his committee vote.
In an interview with LifeNews.com, Gianna Jessen said, "Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion - as I did 31 years ago. In the words of his own false and misleading ad, his position is downright vile."
