I understand it was a botched abortion.
I don’t understand why a legislator would vote AGAINST a law requiring lifesaving efforts to an aborted baby being born alive.
In other words why would a legislator vote against saving a baby’s life under such circumstances? Because say what you will, I believe there are few Americans who would be against saving those unfortunates’ infant lives. Thus a legislator voting against cannot possibly be doing so for the will of the voters?
Or maybe I’m being too pollyannish, maybe there’s a large subset of people out there who think it’s okay to smother living, breathing babies.
It’s all about the mother’s right not the baby’s.
Because to save the child goes against the mother’s choice to abort it. (according to obama)
Sick.

Of course it is murder, the same was as a teenager giving birth to a baby in the restroom stall and then stuffing baby in a trash can.
The whole “legal (Roe v Wade) justification” for abortion is mother’s choice. Her “right” to reproductive freedom. The rights of the baby are ignored because the baby is not a “person” yet because it is not “viable” (being able to survive outside mother’s womb, breathing, etc). Once that baby is outside mother’s womb and is breathing, then it is viable and has 14th amendment rights to “life, liberty... etc.). The mother’s rights are no longer involved.
Her inconvenience may be a factor, but she could surrender child to state if she does not wish to care for him/her.
Even Roe v Wade contemplated state protections for children in 3rd trimester of pregnancy. But the courts and baby killers have reached beyond birth to kill innocent children.
Obama should know this! He is a self-styled Constitutional law professor. /sarc
