Why Obama Really Voted For Infanticide
National Review Online ^ | 8-22-08 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 08/22/2008 7:15:50 AM PDT by Renfield

There wasn’t any question about what was happening. The abortions were going wrong. The babies weren’t cooperating. They wouldn’t die as planned. Or, as Illinois state senator Barack Obama so touchingly put it, there was “movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead.”

No, Senator. They wouldn’t go along with the program. They wouldn’t just come out limp and dead.

They were coming out alive. Born alive. Babies. Vulnerable human beings Obama, in his detached pomposity, might otherwise include among “the least of my brothers.” But of course, an abortion extremist can’t very well be invoking Saint Matthew, can he? So, for Obama, the shunning of these least of our brothers and sisters — millions of them — is somehow not among America’s greatest moral failings.......

“...When it got down to brass tacks, Barack Obama argued that protecting abortion doctors from legal liability was more important than protecting living infants from death...”

Didn’t you get the memo.

Is this verifiable????

What would you sue an abortion “doctor” for? Failing to kill the baby?

God help us.

Hannity did an unbelievable job on this topic last night on H&C. man, he hammered it for a good 15 minutes. And one of his guests, a guy from redstate.com came right out (when asked by colmes if he really thought Obama supported Infanticide) with a pronounced YES. he would not back down.

This is the defining issue that will bury Obama. Keep it up Hannity — Obama/Infanticide every night, now until November.

"Is this verifiable?"

There’s a transcript of a state senate debate, which took place on April 4, 2002. That transcript is available here ( http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/strans92/ST040402.pdf )(the pertinent section runs from pages 31 to 34).

Obama’s attitude is that the service being offered by these medical providers is the death of a baby. Therefore the doctors must be allowed to correct their mistakes if necessary. Obama is clearly in favor of infanticide and there’s no way for him to sugar coat his dismal record.

Yes, it's part of the official transcript, quoted on the second page of the article.

I don’t think you can get more authoritative than a transcript and audio from the Illinois State Senate.

Thanks Renfield for the link. And I hope Hannity keeps playing this audio over and over until November.

Obama’s trail is becoming obvious even though he and the Moron Media have tried in every way possible to do a cover-up. Just hearing the Il Senate transcript’s of BO on born Alive is a deal killer for many. He is tanking fast and will become like a caged animal as he is attacked from both the right and the left. This will not be pretty, BO will call out the pure hatred of the left/bigots to defend him as he falls.

If there were an ounce of real morality in the Democrat Party they would drop Obama like a hot potato. Unfortunately there isn’t even an ounce.

Very well written, and worth reading the whole thing. The second page includes excerpts from the transcript of the senate session in question and proves that McCarthy is not exaggerating.

I have also read—though not recently—that Obama’s wonderful “church” in Chicago owns a hospital where late-term abortions were regularly performed—a profitable procedure. Therefore, still another reason why he voted to let these babies die was that it might be inconvenient for this hospital, which was basically under the leadership of Rev. Wright, Obama’s good friend and patron.

I would like to see more confirmation of that, if it is true.
