Death Records Now

As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as "persons" babies who survive late-term abortions.

He supports killing babies who survive late-term abortions? Isn’t this infanticide?

This article at the Wall Street Journal has the story of Gianna Jessen, a woman who survived late-term abortion. Gianna’s medical records state that she was "born during saline abortion."

Do you view this as infanticide?
As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as "persons" babies who survive late-term abortions. Babies like Gianna. Mr. Obama said in a speech on the Illinois Senate floor that he could not accept that babies wholly emerged from their mother’s wombs are "persons," and thus deserving of equal protection under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

A federal version on the same legislation passed the Senate unanimously and with the support of all but 15 members of the House. Gianna was present when President Bush signed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act in 2002.

When I asked Gianna to reflect on Mr. Obama’s candidacy, she paused, then said, "I really hope the American people will have their eyes wide open and choose to be discerning. . . . He is extreme, extreme, extreme."

Yes, I view it as infanticide. But then, I also view late-term abortions as murder and partial-birth abortion as heinous.
Barack Obama’s record shows he supports late-term abortion and opposed the surviving baby legislation, so it does appear he supports infanticide to a degree and that is unacceptable.
