Obama’s abortion lies

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 11, 2008 10:23 AM


Keep him away from the babies.

There’s a newly uncovered paper trail demonstrating Barack Obama’s abortion militancy you can believe in (hat tip – Jill Stanek):

Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an IL state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion – even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion. Obama’s legislative actions in 2003 – denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions – were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose.

The NRLC’s Obama paper trail index is here.

    Democrats are always “pro-life”, pro their own life that is. Anything or anyone that makes them feel uncomfortable, inconvenient, or otherwise unhappy and “unfulfilled” must be eliminated.

    Even newborn children.

    Evil – absolutely evil.

    There’s no reason to deny a newborn survivor of abortion the right to life. Take the child away from the mother that doesn’t want him. It’s that simple.

    Of course, the demand that these children die reinforces the notion that abortion isn’t about choice, but how many children can be killed.

    But in a close election year, the party and its presumptive nominee, Barack Obama, are rethinking how they talk about the issue.

    In other words, they want to fool voters by pretending to share views of mainstream Americans. This applies to their views on religion, taxes, schools, gay marriage, cultural decay, foreign policy and guns to name a few. Unfortunately too many Americans don’t pay close enough attention to politics to know what the Dems agenda is and only listen to carefully prepared soundbites. What they are always trying to figure out is: How can we get the message out without letting everbody know what the message is?

    The thing that’s so bothersome is he’ll give his standard deceitful answer that sounds good to his newsmedia pals, and they’ll never question him on it.

    It’s the same cycle as the handgun ban questionaire. In ‘96 when it was expedient, he said he’d ban possession, sale, mfr of handguns, in 2008 when questioned he says an aide filled it out, then when evidence (his handwriting in the margins) he’s not held accountable.

    It’s almost identical to what the media did for their former idol Clinton in the 90’s, ignoring or justifying his lies.

    Yep. Pretty much. But I’m still waiting for folks to call Jill Stanek an “opportunist” for showing Obama supports nothing less than infanticide in his pursuit of abortion.

    And, of course, an explanation why those of us who oppose this and other forms of abortion hate women and health care and science and all that usual blather.

    I’d really be curious to see someone defend Obama’s position on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

    It’s about time that Obama was exposed for the ghoul that he is. I’m not a one-issue voter, but his position in this regard is indefensible.

    It reminds of Chris Matthews’s comment the morning after Obama got drubbed in the PA primaries. When asked what did Obama in, Matthews reluctantly admitted that for PA Catholics Obama’s “punished with a baby” comment called into question his devotion to “the sancity of life.”

    Obama may be the cool cat in this election. But he’s also extraordinarily callous regarding the sanctity of life.

    I don’t know if he will. I won’t vote for a pro-abortion candidate, period. So I guess then I wouldn’t vote for McCain (sorry, folks).

    But I do believe most on the conservative/GOP side are more open to pro-life movements than the mainstream Democrats. We have a much better chance of getting justices and policies that will allow for pro-life legislation to take hold and flourish.

    Indeed, the Dems are so anti-life they shut Bob Casey out of the 1992 Democratic National Convention because he committed the heresy of wanting to be pro-life.

    And the Minnesota delegates that year were beaten for carrying pro-life and pro-Casey signs. Sounds familiar, no? Always seems to be okay when pro-lifers get beat up by those oh-so-compassionate abortion folks.

    Indeed. We can argue the death penalty in depth elsewhere, but the same chemicals used in lethal injection (which are deemed “inhumane” by death penalty opponents) are used in some abortions. Likewise, no one in their right mind would advocate ripping apart a death row inmate limb from limb, or sticking a scissors in the base of his skull to suck out his brains to crush his head as a form of execution.

    But all these are perfectly acceptable forms of abortion.

    Additionally, an abortionist in Kansas stabbed a 35-week old infant born alive after an abortion. From my source:

    Abortionist Shelley Sella is a “circuit rider” who splits her time between Tiller’s Wichita clinic, a California Planned Parenthood clinic, and other, smaller abortion mills.

    “Ms. Davis gave us a very specific eye-witness account about the incident,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We were told that the baby was 35 weeks gestation at the time of the abortion. The baby came out and was moving. Sella looked up at Ms. Davis, then picked up a utensil and stabbed the baby in the left ribcage, twisting the utensil until the baby quit moving. At 35 weeks, there is no doubt about viability. This is murder in anybody’s book.”

    Ms. Davis could not explain why the baby was born alive since abortions that late in the pregnancy usually begin with a fatal injection into the baby’s heart. However, Operation Rescue has been told by former abortion patients that sometimes the first injection is not always successful. (Read how these abortions are done.)

    But, by all means, let’s allow this to continue unfettered. For the greater good and all that.

    And let’s not forget Michelle Obama’s thoughts on the subject.

    I her fear mongering letter to potential Obama donors during one of Barak’s Illinois campaigns, she strongly advocated for partial birth abortions, opining that laws prohibiting the practice were “flawed”, and stating:

    The fact remains, with no provision to protect the heath of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned.

    Here’s a copy of the original letter:

    http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/05/michelle_obamas.html

    Much to Michelle Obama’s chagrin, the Supreme Court disagreed with her legal analysis that a ban on partial birth abortions was unconstitutional. Guess that Harvard Law degree lost its mojo.

She is an open supporter of “Tiller the baby killer”, and actually hosted a reception for Tiller and his staff at the Governor’s mansion (he donates a lot of $$$ to the guv). She has stonewalled investigations into allegations that Tiller practices his barbarism on under age girls. O’Reilly’s producer cornered her at a Governor’s conference, and she referred to Tiller as a “health care provider”.

    There is ample evidence to support the damage of abortion (see my post for one example), rather than the policies you cite.

    That was no human being. You are right – sickening.

    Also to be noted. Clinton, on his final three days as POTUS, signed into law that a new-born baby is a fetus. Why? Well, for this very reason. If a baby is born accidentally, you can kill it in the name of abortion. Often, there is a 5 gallon bucket of water in the room in case a baby is born by accident. In such a case, you just drop the baby in the water and nobody knows as there is no sound from the baby.

    It is all so very sick.

    The point is he trusts Obama to create the liberal utopia he wants – where free speech is stifled, dissent is ‘hatred’, abortion is free and available anytime before or after birth, where the government limits how much carbon we can use (i.e., limits on driving, buying goods, heating our homes, our jobs, etc.).

    Believe me, I’ve argued with liberals and was able to get them to admit that there is no difference between a 3-month pre-natal and 3-month post-natal child. As such, they agreed that their stance on abortion should give the parents (well, let’s be honest, mother) the right to kill a child.

    - even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion.

    “The only problem with Hudson’s logic is that it requires comparing apples to oranges. The Illinois and federal bills differed not only in language, but regulatory impact. Critically, the Illinois version of the bill that Obama opposed was also bundled with other proposals that would have put doctors at risk of prosecution, which led the Illinois State Medical Society to oppose the measure along with Obama. The state bill also carried greater influence in terms of enforcement, since states had been granted greater leeway in regulating abortion practices ever since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in the case of Planned Parenthood v.

I don’t understand why McCain does not have a commercial about it. On the abortion issue, we know what will happen when the MSM, led by Tom Brokaw, hosts the debates. Brokaw will ask McCain if he thinks women who have abortion and doctors who do abortions should go to prison. Obviously, McCain can not say yes to that question. And then Obama gets to hit a home run in response. That is what will happen when Lehrer and Brokaw host the debates.

    The solution is to promote personal responsibility, accepting consequences for behavior, and creating a culture that respects women and preserves the institution of traditional, man/woman marriage as the safest, best place for having sex and bearing children.

    He certainly gives pro-abortion liberals a fine load of ammunition, that’s for sure.

    He wants a good example of the insanity of his proposed abortion/sterilization program? Look no further than the Duggar family in Arkansas.

    Back when Mrs. Duggar had her 16th child, I was part of a wedding message board community. The board lit up that day, most people arguing Mrs. Duggar needed to be “spayed” because her kids would be welfare recipients. Little did they know that the Duggar family has no debt (none, zippo, zilch, nada) – I know childless couples who can’t boast that! They pay cash for everything, and built their large home with minimal assistance entirely out of their own pocket. They get no government assistance of any kind.

    When I pointed this out, I was attacked as being “closeminded” and humorless.

    But there isn’t a doubt in my mind the target of sterilization would be families like the Duggars, and not inner city folk with 3 different “baby daddies.” Either way, it’s not right.

    According to the attached documentation (please see paragraphs 25 – 35 of Jill Stanek’s attached research into the matter) Barack Obama continued to shoot the State bill down while it was still in committee – even after the federal language, clarifying that the act would not be used to undermine Roe vs. Wade was inserted, and he then continued to claim (up until this month) that his votes were based on the lack of any such federal language insertion.

    You mean like this? Or this:

    A patient identified as “B.J.,” age 22, testified in a state hearing that she had an abortion done by Dr. Scott R. Barrett at Central Healthcare Clinic for Women in Springfield, Missouri on February 27, 1990.

    B.J. was 14.5 weeks pregnant, according to records, and had cervical cancer. She was rendered unconscious for her abortion.

    B.J. said that she awoke screaming during her abortion, and begged Barrett to stop. But Barrett proceeded, B.J. said, and had an employee clamp a hand over B.J.’s mouth.

    B.J. again lost consciousness. She awoke on a chair in the recovery room, with the bottom of her shirt drenched in blood. The next thing she remembered was Barrett carrying her out to her car. A friend drove B.J. to the hospital — without any clinic staff even accompanying them.

    The doctor who performed emergency surgery on B.J. said, “It would take a lot of force, an extreme amount of force to do that kind of damage.” B.J. had a 10 centimeter perforation of her uterus, and had lost around 80% of her blood. The ligaments around her uterus were severed, and her right ovary had been torn loose. She had to have her uterus and ovary removed due to the damage.

    The note that Barrett sent to the hospital with B.J. described her abortion as “uneventful. The note also failed to disclose all the medications administered to B.J.

    The hearing document slams Barrett, noting that “having nearly eviscerated his patient and with her clearly in critical condition, he sent her to the hospital in a private car during rush hour. … A more egregious example of incompetence and gross negligence is difficult to imagine.”

    Here’s the question: What was the advantage (to anybody) that B.J. had access to legal abortion?

    Or this – just a few examples of gross negligence at Planned Parenthood?

    Here’s more information on malpractice, botched abortions, and other horrors. All in a post-Roe world, where abortion is supposed to be no different than getting your nails done.

    Is that the friendly territory you’re talking about, Rusty? You’d drive a woman to a clinic – and this was a “safe, legal” clinic – and let her go through that hell?

    I’m beginning to think there isn’t a doubt in my mind you’d slam the door in the face of a friend who came to you with post-abortion trauma. After all, she’s just an anomaly. The “real” tragedies are the women who can’t experience the abortion clinic butcher shop first hand.

    There. Fixed that. As for women killing “their” fetus, you just used the same argument that pro slavers did back in the 19th century.
