Regardless of whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, Senator Obama's vote while a Illinois State Senator cannot be condoned.
Distilled to its simplest form, both pro-choice and pro-life Congressmen and Congresswomen overwhelming voted in favor of the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act. This act was enacted to protect the life of an infant who was born alive after a failed abortion attempt. It was sparked by a failed abortion, where a live infant was left to die on a stack of soiled bed sheets in a hospital closet. One of the attending nurses, feeling sorry for the baby, held the infant in her arms for 45 minutes until the infant died.
Illinois State Senator Obama refused to vote in favor of two proposed bills that would have instituted similar state laws in Illinois. He had problems with the first bill because it omitted certain language and he feared the omission would have threatened Rowe vs. Wade. He voted present on the second bill, which is always translated as a "No" vote, even though it included language that eliminated the threat to Roe vs. Wade. The most liberal U.S. Senators, including Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton, supported the bill and it was even supported by NARAL Pro-Choice America. Obama was the only Senator to take the floor and actively speak against the bill.
I have included three web sites below that provide much more information. Two of the three argue to excuse Obama for his vote, but please notice the grotesque and grisly language of these arguments. Can you believe that this dialogue is occurring in a Nation that supports human rights for potential terrorists, illegal immigrants, and cop killers?
Have the women of this nation turned so far in the direction of "fun at any cost" that they have lost all maternal instincts and now give support to a presidential candidate who refuses to protect newborn babies? Did his political aspirations mean so much to Senator Obama that he found it necessary, in order to appeal to the far-left, to support infanticide? I urge you to consider these questions even if you believe the Senator had a legal basis for his decision.
