God bless her for speaking up, heard her on with Gordon Liddy today and a few other shows this week...very touching story
Geez, Obama is self destructing right before our very eyes.
I almost feel sorry for him. ALMOST!
There’s a book about Gianna’s story that came out a number of years ago simply titled, Gianna. Interesting story.
Amen! God bless Gianna Jessen! I agree with her! What Obama did is vile! In fact, I think he IS vile!
I guess Obama’s response depends on what the definition of “infant” is... he says he supports medical care for “infants”, but it’s above his pay grade to determine exactly at what point that “tissue-stuff” becomes an actual human, and therefore an “infant”.
dang, that woman has more class in her hair, than Obama has in his entire campaign.
I guess we know one of the reasons that Nobama has opted to not have any “town hall meetings” during this election season. Maybe he’s afraid of taking a question from this kind of abortion survivor.
BTW, does anyone else notice that Obama has refused to go on any of the business channel stations this week? Do you think he appreciates that he doesn’t have a clue about what has brought on this situation and knows that he couldn’t possibly answer a tough question, even though he knows all the mainstreams of in his camp?
Gianna Jessen accuses Barack Obama of vacillation and cowardice.
THAT is going to get under his skin.
Very good book. I have it.
The photo of Obama at Malkin’s site reminds me of Teresa Heinz!
Gianna needs to do another commercial using the tape of Obama stating that it is too much trouble to save the infant and it goes against what the mother wanted.
POI-
Why is BAIP even necessary given Amendment 14 -
Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. Note History
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

Abortion results in the death of the child in nearly 100% of cases.
so why didn’t the Republicans have her speak at the convention?
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
