Obama’s Abortion Lies (Obama cover-up on born-alive survivors bill)
michellemalkin.com ^ | August 11, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

There’s a newly uncovered paper trail demonstrating Barack Obama’s abortion militancy you can believe in (hat tip - Jill Stanek):

Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an IL state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion - even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion. Obama’s legislative actions in 2003 - denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions - were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose.

The NRLC’s Obama paper trail index is here.

And here’s a related howler about the Party of Planned Parenthood:

Perfect for a new MeCain ad.

Let's hear Obam-ah explain this one!

...that is if Big Media will ask him.

MeCain can always bring this up in the debates.

This issue does not get the play it deserves. I doubt we will ever see a reporter press Obama on this. If one would I am sure with Obama’s arrogance he would get trapped in a lie. Of course the media would still give him cover.

Obama's favorite tact seems to be calling something just 'a snippet'. Obama will probably try to say the bill was much more complicated than that and the GOP is just taking the bill out of context to attack his innocence.

Old news (http://husaria.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/infanticide-is-an-obamanation/) but definitely worth repeating through Election Day, especially in Pennsylvania and other states with large pro-life communities. http://www.stentorian.com/cartoons/infanticide.gif for full-sized image suitable for do-it-yourself bumper sticker from CafePress

We must let all know that Obama is the most anti-life cadidate that has ever run for President of theU.S. I would love to see a pro-life march to Washington before the election in November.

Typical of the Left: obsessed with the rights of violent criminals and bloodthirsty terrorists, but not so much with innocent babies who miraculously manage to survive an attempted murder.

McCain needs to throw this in Obama's face during the debates and ask - How do you sleep at night? Do you even have a conscience?
