Sen. Barack Obama has insisted he did not back a state bill protecting babies born alive from failed abortions because it would undermine Roe vs. Wade, but a newly unearthed transcript of his arguments from the floor of the Illinois Senate indicate otherwise.
Arguing against the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act in 2002, after even Planned Parenthood had dropped its opposition, Obama expressed concern that the bill might burden abortionists, reports blogger Erick Erickson on RedState.com.
Erikson, noting Obama was the only lawmaker to speak out against the protective measure, summarized the senator’s concern this way: “Let’s trust the guy who just botched the abortion to determine whether or not he actually did botch the abortion.”
According to the transcript, Obama said:
“As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child – however way you want to describe it – is now outside the mother’s womb and the doctor continues to think that it’s nonviable but there’s, let’s say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved.”
The bill might burden abortionists? Too damn bad!
If the human being is outside the womb and “moving,” it is a person deserving of their constitutional rights to life and liberty; and the desires of the murderous abortionists and the mother have nothing to do with the rights of this child too live. This is no grey area open to debate, this is now without any doubt a human being and no physician has the right to kill this human being or allow them to die through neglect. This is murder!
Since the child is outside the womb, no other term can apply but INFANTICIDE, wholesale murder of socially undesireable human beings.
