On the one hand, I cannot vote to re-elect President Barack Obama, who more than any other president in our history continuously exceeds the constitutional limitations of the executive branch. For example – one of many I’ve documented – Obama, without going to a judge, regularly selects those who are to be assassinated from a “kill list”; this includes American citizens suspected of being associated with terrorists.
But I have other reasons for not possibly voting for him. One is that no previous president has been so radically pro-abortion as Obama, who, when he was in the Illinois Senate, voted three times against the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. The bill would have ensured that if a live baby fully emerged before an abortion was successfully completed, he or she was to be saved.
To let this legislation die would be an act of infanticide, but it did not pass while Obama was in the Illinois Senate.
However, according to the Chicago Tribune, “In 2005, when additional language was added to a ‘born alive’ bill in Illinois that explicitly spelled out that it would not impact abortion rights in any way, the law passed easily” (“Executive summary: What you need to know about the ‘born alive’ issue,” Eric Zorn, blogs.chicagotribune.com, Aug. 22, 2008).
Years ago, as I reported in an article for the Human Life Review on the highly disproportionate number of abortions on blacks (“President Obama and ‘Black Genocide,’” Winter/Spring 2009), I had interviewed a registered nurse who had worked in the Labor and Delivery Department of Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., and had participated unwillingly in one of these botched abortions.

YES he did, those records used to be online, not sure if they are still or been deleted by his protectors!
Nat Hentoff.
One of the very few Liberals out there with some intellectual (and moral) integrity.
obviously nat is trying to position himself for after the election.
Obama voted three times against the
Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.The bill would have ensured that a baby who survived an
abortion would be cared for and not left to die of exposure.
Should be a billboard on every road in America.
How do you figure that?
Nat Hentoff has been openly pro-life for decades and has frequently attacked the pro-choice crowd in his writings.
He hasn't altered his stance a whit.
You make an excellent point, my FRiend.
So very many media types (both "news" and show people) are choosing to attach their careers to the Obama anchor; oddly at a time at which the news and entertainment consuming public is gifted with ever-growing alternative choices.
They are choosing to preside over their own failures, be it ratings or box office receipts.
One suspects that there should be some canny (perhaps even honest) news or entertainment media types who suddenly start telling (or selling) the whole truth, and do so (with full vigor) before the coming election.
.
I agree that Hentoff has integrity, but he supported Communist Party USA and Socialist Workers Party fronts (ostensively because they dealt with constitutional rights - Bullshit).
Over the years he had started to shift a little more towards the middle on some issues, to his credit, but his support of the communists, rather than going it alone on certain issues, marred his record.
The doctor came in the next day and his head exploded..the chart (which is a legal document and no changed can be made once something is written without the one doing the changing initials it....He had sworn in the chart that the baby died at X time and later another cert. of death gave the babys true time of death...He tried to get the nursing staff and respiratory therapy to change what they charted...NO one would do it...he had a problem that I don't know how it ended up being solved, but in 10 years of hospital work, that is the only time that I know of that it happened....We on the afternoon shift found out about it during report..... A big high 5 for several departments trying to save the baby and standing firm on their charting...
"Because all governments are inherently corrupt, and I've dedicated my life to defending people against the criminals in their own government."
The best part of the interview was when the host asked him this: If he could go back in time to any period in history to defend a notable accused criminal, which person would that be? His answer shocked the heck out of me: "Jesus Christ. Now there was a man who didn't deserve what was done to him. He was a wise, respected religious figure who was railroad by his own people because they didn't like what he was saying to them."
The calls that followed that comment, from irate Jewish listeners in New York City, were pretty unbelievable.
I’ve changed my tune about Romney. I think I should write an editorial about it. Not now though. Later today.
I can not even count the reasons that i could not vote for Obama.
Most of the liberals in the past did not get my vote except for that peanut farmer in Georgia and that was because i had not kept up with what was going on and voted with my feelings that he was a good guy, it did not take me long to see my mistake.
But the liberals in the past did not have the destruction of America in mind, they were just stupid and are the kind of people who can easily be indoctrinated by socialism.
They are what you get by sending fools to college.
Yet it is so plain that Obama is deliberately bringing America to third world status, this is a conspiracy and Obama is a knowingly and willing conspirator.
By their demonstrated actions, neither major candidate is pro-life.
