Opposed companion bill to Born Alive as state senator that sought to protect abortion survivors from the Gosnells of the world
Although President Obama had no trouble commenting on the ongoing Trayvon Martin case, White House spokesperson Jay Carney said today Obama wouldn’t be commenting on the Kermit Gosnell mass murder case because he “cannot take a position on an ongoing trial” or “comment further on an ongoing legal proceeding”…
Of course the White House wants to avoid this topic. What a disaster Gosnell is for Obama.
Gosnell first brings to Obama’s door the uncomfortable topic of infanticide. Obama is well known to have voted four times against the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act as state senator, which sought to protect abortion survivors.
But Obama also opposed two companion bills to BAIPA, one of which brings him zero degrees of separation from Gosnell. I was impressed with Fox’s Ed Henry, who went there in his questions to Carney today.
On April 4, 2002, Obama testified against Senate Bill 1663, which required abortionists to provide “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice” to abortion survivors and to plan to have a second physician present if there was a “reasonable likelihood” that the abortion would result “in a live born child.”
You can read the entire transcript here, pages 28-35, but the gist of Obama’s opposition was that he had full faith in abortionists:
The only plausible rationale, to my mind, of this legislation would be if you had a suspicion that a doctor… (a) is going to make the wrong assessment, and (b) if the physician discovered, after the labor had been induced, that, in fact, he made an error… and… would not try to exercise the sort of medical measures and practices that would be involved in saving that child.
Now, if you think that there are possibilities that doctors would not do that, then maybe this bill make sense, but I… feel… an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician….
[I]f these are children who are being born alive, I, at least, have confidence that a doctor who is in that room is going to make sure that they’re looked after.
Obama could not fathom that an abortionist who had been paid to kill a baby wouldn’t turn around and try to save a viable baby’s life in the event of a botch.
Kermit Gosnell would have been one of the abortionists in which Obama had “confidence.” Most know by now Gosnell is on trial for murdering seven abortion survivors and one mother.
Gosnell was committing abortions in Pennsylvania at the very time this bill was being debated in Illinois. Who knows, perhaps Gosnell was “snipping” the spinal cord of an abortion survivor at the moment Obama testified to his sterling character. After all, the grand jury report stated Gosnell likely killed “hundreds” of abortion survivors during the three decades he was in business.
Barack Obama has stated on record that he stands with the Kermit Gosnells of America. He can’t walk that back without opening the door to regulations such as he rejected as state senator. So he’s stuck….
Gosnell’s a bro, no?
Obama, this baby killer and the entire Democrat Party are of one mind.
There is nothing that Gosnell has done, absolutely NOTHING, that goes against the Kenyan-born illegal alien’s agenda . . . NOTHING. Gosnell will probably get an award somewhere down the line.
So our POS in our White House has nothing to say about this serial killer/mass murderer . . . and refused to send anyone to represent the U.S. at Maggie Thatcher’s funeral. I’m surprised that someone in the Repub Party didn’t go over there out of respect for this woman.
No . . . they’re saving their respect for Gosnell after the heat goes down. Disgusting.
Cuddabeen' Obambi's father, if ya' know wad' I mean.
He is such a liar. The first time he opened his mouth it should have been obvious to everyone that he is a pathological liar.
POSHITUS already declared his willingness to see his chopped up grandchildren flushed down a toilet rather than suffer either of his daughters the ‘burden’ of a baby in either of their wombs.
Did Gosnell sit in Rev Wright’s church next to OBayMe?
I wonder if either of Obama’s girls got pregnant and had an abortion, would Obama be present for the snipping of the spinal cord? What a proud daddy he would be!
Obama is just the kind of odious, genocidal mass murderer thag Gosnell is.
The only difference is that Gosnell actually does have an education, and that he’s more flabby.
If there is death/ involved, especially of people Obama hates, then BArack’s on board.

If Gosnell had a son, he’d look like Obama.
