Why did Obama vote NO to helping babies of botched abortions live?
Just how pro-abortion is Obama? Consider the following excerpt from a Sept. 1, 2004 column on IllinoisLeader.com by former nurse and noted pro-life activist Jill Stanek:
“For three years in a row I submitted the same testimony to Illinois Senate committees that were deciding whether to let the full Senate vote on the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
“It was during those committee hearings that I first came face-to-face with state Senator Barack Obama, who functioned as either a member or the chairman, depending on the year and the committee.
“Each time I testified, I described to Obama and other members the death of a particular little girl who was aborted alive at Christ Hospital.
“The baby’s death haunts me, because she might have lived with help. Her abandonment by medical professionals clearly demonstrated that wanted and unwanted babies are treated differently at delivery….
“When Obama and his fellow Democrats voted against [the Born Alive Infants Protection Act] in committee that first year, I didn’t think they understood the magnitude of the 23-weeker’s death.
“So the next year along with my testimony I submitted a page from the neonatal textbook demonstrating the resuscitation of a baby about the same age as I described. I watched Obama look at those photos… before he voted no again….”
Besides his 100 percent pro-abortion voting record, Obama also opposes a Constitutional Amendment banning homosexual “marriage.” (He has, however, claimed that he is not in favor of homosexual “marriage.” Only “civil unions,” you see.)
Its sick isnt it, but thats the democrats for you. They allow want to abolish the death penalty but favor abortion on demand

Honestly, Obama has never voted against it….In politic not voting is a way to say yes.
@underthe…: I’m sorry but you have to put some limits…I’m not against the abortion, but you have to limit it when it’s too late. Except when the mother is in danger. We are adult, we have to assume our choice, the more you wait, the less you have the choice.

Here is the answer in Obama’s own words:
Obama thanked Stanek for being “very clear and forthright,” but said his concern was that Stanek had suggested “doctors really don’t care about children who are being born with a reasonable prospect of life because they are so locked into their pro-abortion views that they would watch an infant that is viable die.” He told her, “That may be your assessment, and I don’t see any evidence of that. What we are doing here is to create one more burden on a woman and I can’t support that.”
If you’re pro-life, then really no reason is going to be satisfactory. If you’re pro-choice, then you might just remember that you didn’t see Stanek’s presentation and have no reason to believe that you would or would not have come to Obama’s conclusion too.
