Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Michelle Obama, the attorney wife of pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, is coming under fire for a letter she wrote defending partial-birth abortions. The 2004 letter, written to help Obama in his campaign for his U.S. Senate seat, opposes the ban on the abortion procedure.

And Barry supports outright infanticide - voting against the “born alive infant protection act”, he stakes out the position that babies born alive in a botched abortion should be left to die without medical attention.

Are the Obama’s aware of the numbers of black babies that are aborted? Margaret Sanger must be in Hell laughing at them.

What’s the big deal? Obama supports abortion, partial birth abortion, and infanticide. He had a public debate with hillary last year as to who was the biggest abortion supporter. NARAL has removed its endorsement of hillary and thrown its support to Obama.

He doesn’t need Michelle telling him what to do on this issue. He’s already said that he’d help his little girls abort a child if they happened to have one by accident.

Hour by hour the stories about Mr. and Mrs. Hitler II gets worse. IMO, the two of them would have been a big hit at Auchwitz.

As someone pointed out on one of the talk radio shows recently, there is no need for partial birth abortion “to protect the life of the mother” (the pro-partial birth abortion red herring). In any such situation, delivery of a live baby via Caesarian section would protect the mother’s life (and baby’s).

How about putting her husband Hussein under fire for it??

The Cult of Hussein is dangerous.

My understanding is that as a state senator he voted against legislation that would prevent doctors from murdering babies who survived abortion and came to life once out of the womb. Such a position reflects on the moral character. A monstrous attitude toward the life of innocents... Better qualified for a position as an SS camp guard than the leader of the free world.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise, as Obama himself favors partial birth or even full birth abortion.

These people believe what they believe, this is who they are.

I think we can go a step further. Not only does it seem unnecessary, wouldn't the abortion actually put the mother at much greater risk? Last I heard the procedure involved delivering the baby part way, stopping the delivery while taking the time to kill the baby, and then continuing the delivery. It is a full vaginal delivery, but simply takes longer than normal. Basically we are being told that there are women whose lives are threatened by normal vaginal live birth, but that this threat can be eliminated if we prolong the vaginal delivery and make sure the baby is not alive after delivery. Does that make sense to anyone?

I don’t get how so many African-Americans enthusiastically support abortion of all kinds. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a devout racist. And there is no ethnic group that has lost more innocents since the act of abortion has become legal. Abortion has been a terror on the black community.

I wonder at what point Michelle thinks abortion turns into murder? I know her husband voted against a bill while in the Illinois senate that would require doctors to provide medical care to babies that survive an abortion. I'm sure her beliefs and his are very much the same.

Disgusting, both of them.

Simple, people who want to have sex and not have to care for children, tend to support abortion... regardless of the color of their skin.

I certainly won't go so far as to say that sex should be reserved for procreation, but I will say that if you feel strongly enough about NOT having children that you would be willing to kill one in order to avoid having to raise it and care for it, you should abstain from having sex.

Why anyone would be for puncturing a childs skull and sucking the brains out of them in hopes they dont sustain life is beyond me...im thinking partials should be preformed on a few Liberals.

If they want Mrs. Obama from being attacked, she’s got to stop saying “stupid” stuff.

Maybe they're deliberately having her say "stupid" and inflamatory stuff as a way of drawing fire. Gives her husband's campaign another news cycle or two (or three) to play the victim card rather than focus on anything substantive (and Obama looses on substance, mainly because he doesn't have any).

Barack Obama voted against the state version of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (something that even Hitelry voted for), so his family’s opposition to banning partial-birth abortion is not surprising at all.

..."The fact remains, with no provision to protect the heath of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconditional and must be overturned,"

So her argument is basically that because abortion is legal, we can't (ever) make it illegal...

Speaking of abortion, not only is constitutional "expert" Senator Obama clueless about Congress spending spending money on constitutionally unauthorized federal spending projects (<-click), his ivy league lawyer wife is evidently just as clueless about major constitutional problems with Roe v. Wade.

This post (<-click) exposes how corrupt justices began using FDR's politically correct license to ignore the 10th A. to unlawfully stifle traditional family values, including the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.

Conservatives have to organize and find funding to expose Hussein Obama and his vile wife. It’s obvious that the supposed nominee and the leadership of the GOP are gutless, spineless, and have no gonads to fight. They’ve let Liberals lie, distort, accuse, and commit voter fraud for years.

Most democrats won't care about this, or else they wouldn't be democrats...
