Obama ad goes to war with abortion survivor
WorldNetDaily ^ | September 20, 2008 | Drew Zahn

Posted on 09/22/2008 7:42:00 AM PDT by DaveyB

In the increasing flurry of this election season's negative political ads, the Barack Obama campaign produced a TV commercial that not only attacks Republican rival John McCain, but also takes aim at an unusual target: a 31-year-old woman who was born alive after her mother's botched abortion.

Obama's commercial predictably takes shots at the GOP campaign, calling McCain's ads "the sleaziest ever, truly vile." But when the screen shows clips of abortion survivor Gianna Jessen and the ad she made asking Obama to reverse his stance on born alive infant protection legislation, the Obama ad calls Jessen's appeal "a despicable lie."(snip)

(snip) Jessen herself released a statement saying, "Mr. Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion – as I did."

I guess it is called swift-boating when someone reveals your record. From the Kerry playbook - attack those who speak of your record and play the victim.

I find it amazing that the liberals cry attack when their own words and actions are used against them.

SHOW me the lie, B. Hussein, and I will HAVE to believe you.

Until then I consider YOU to be a truly vicious, savage, lying a-hole.

I am amazed that the FCC would complain over Janet Jackson’s tits but not this? Okay I admit there is mudslinging going on during the election, but this woman is NOT running for office. This is slander and more obscene than Janet’s tits ever where!

Wow, I just submitted this to Drudge. It surely will backfire on Obambi, if people pay attention to this issue.

If Obama can’t get ‘em when they survive an abortion, he’ll go after them in adult life. “Angel of Death” Dr. Josef Mengele of Adolph Hitler’s Nazis would be proud of Obama.

Obama is scared of Palin...and Palin hangs out with McCain.

Yes, “it” IS truly vile -

“it” = 0bama’s position on abortion survivors.

This is typical of libs I’ve discussed this issue with. My accusation is “vile and absurd”, not 0bama’s actual position.

The left is flailing and gnashing their teeth over Palin. Here’s why:

John 15:18-25
John 3:19-21
2 Cor 2:14-18

An example of what they know to be “right” infuriates them because it bothers their consciences.

Obama’s afraid of this getting the national attention it deserves. Here he didn’t vote “present” to hide his agendas but voted four times to continue this practice. It shows him for the Margaret Sanger dude that he is.

I can't believe the Obama campaign is this stupid, but I guess they are. If ever an ad should have been ignored by Obama this is the one. There was no way he could say anything that would result in a positive for his candidacy. The very fact that he replied is an indicator of how flawed his presidency would be. Can you imagine the kind of replies he would give to a foreign country? Wow!

Good post. That is the truth behind all of this.


John 15:18-25

18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.


John 3:19-21

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


2 Corinthians 2:14-18

14Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

15For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

16To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

obama says he is committed to providing care to a baby that survives an abortion

obama also says there are laws on the books that require these babies to get medical attention

jill stanek brought one case to his attention where care was not provided

obama should be asked to provide evidence that he contacted someone to prosecute those involved with that abortion

IMHO, Obama’s ad will be very affective, especially among voters like pro abortion sister. To her, the only innocent life in an abortion is the woman. Course, I should ask her what that aborted matter would become if allowed to live.. a Labrador?

From Obama More Pro-Choice Than NARAL
by Amanda B. Carpenter

In 2002, as an Illinois legislator, Obama voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions. That same year a similar federal law, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, was signed by President Bush. Only 15 members of the U.S. House opposed it, and it passed the Senate unanimously on a voice vote.

Both the Illinois and the federal bill sought equal treatment for babies who survived premature inducement for the purpose of abortion and wanted babies who were born prematurely and given live-saving medical attention.

When the federal bill was being debated, NARAL Pro-Choice America released a statement that said, “Consistent with our position last year, NARAL does not oppose passage of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act ... floor debate served to clarify the bill’s intent and assure us that it is not targeted at Roe v. Wade or a woman’s right to choose.”

But Obama voted against this bill in the Illinois senate and killed it in committee. Twice, the Induced Infant Liability Act came up in the Judiciary Committee on which he served. At its first reading he voted “present.” At the second he voted “no.”

The bill was then referred to the senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, which Obama chaired after the Illinois Senate went Democratic in 2003. As chairman, he never called the bill up for a vote.
