The Chicago-area nurse who exposed the practice of life-birth abortions that led to he bill Barack Obama repeatedly opposed in the Illinois legislature says Obama lied about his record during the final presidential debate. Jill Stanek says Obama again misrepresented his position and record before the American people.
As LifeNews.com reported, John McCain took Obama to task during the debate when the topic turned to abortion.
“Sen. Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, voted in the Judiciary Committee against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion. He voted against that,” McCain said.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading abortion advocacy group attacked presidential candidate John McCain after the third debate and complained about his comments on the health exception to the partial-birth abortion ban. During the debate McCain said a health exception would compromise the integrity of the ban.
As McCain and presidential candidate Barack Obama discussed the partial-birth abortion ban, Obama said he voted against the measure because it did not have a health exception.
"I am completely supportive of a ban ... as long as there's an exception for the mother's health," he said.
McCain responded: "He's health for the mother. You know, that's been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything. That's the extreme pro-abortion position, quote 'health.'"
