Video Shows Babies Left to Die After Failed Abortions in Method Obama OKed

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new video of a Planned Parenthood staff member in New Jersey has surfaced showing abortion centers leave babies to die who survive failed abortions. The video shows the kind of infanticide that Barack Obama opposed stopping in Illinois continues to occur.

The pro-life group Students for Life of America released the videotape Thursday of a nurse at a federally-funded Title X Planned Parenthood center describing how an abortion would be performed on a 22 week unborn child.

In the footage, the Planned Parenthood nurse describes to the pregnant woman that the abortion would entail delivering her son alive.

After the mother asks if the baby can be born alive, the nurse admits that "it does happen, but it wouldn't be able to survive on its own so eventually the baby does die."

SFLA director Kristan Hawkins says the footage is "shocking" because it confirms that the practice of allowing infants to die after they survive a failed abortion or a purposeful premature birth continues to happen.

Hawkins also told LifeNews.com that it confirms there was no reason for presidential candidate Barack Obama to vote four times in the Illinois legislature against a bill to make sure such infants receive appropriate medical care if they survive the late-term abortion procedure.

"I was absolutely stunned when the Planned Parenthood nurse revealed that allowing a baby to die after being born alive is a common practice for abortionists," Hawkins said.

"It begs the question of why a presidential candidate will not support human rights protections for babies born alive during an abortion procedure," Hawkins added. "This is outright infanticide, and a candidate for President defends it."

The SFLA video includes an audio clip of Senator Obama speaking out against the anti-infanticide bill in 2002 on the Illinois Senate floor. Obama attacks the Born Alive measure as burdening "the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."

Obama has been under fire for his votes on the Illinois bills throughout the campaign and, this week, a woman who survived a failed abortion released a second television ad condemning Obama for those votes.

Jessen responds to Obama's response to her first ad in which he called her "sleazy" for promoting a "despicable lie."

The original ad features Jessen, a young woman who survived a failed saline abortion in the late 1970s, as she chides Obama for voting repeatedly against bills in the Illinois legislature to stop infanticide.

Obama responded with his own ad that nonpartisan analysis from two fact checking groups called inaccurate.

The new Jessen ad addresses Obama’s attacks and says that she has, in fact, dealt with worse: she survived an abortion.

“Seen this ad? In it, Senator Obama personally attacks me," Jessen says, according to a script provided to LifeNews.com. "I’ve dealt with worse; I survived an abortion."

Unfortunately, I wasn't even surprised.

My God, what has happened to the moral fabric of our nation?

It was torn to shreds by the socialists.

I know this is true but would appreciate it if someone could supply the Bill numbers for these. I could use that for a school poster. I want other KIDS to see how VILE Obama is and where THEY can look it up at. When I have the Bill numbers than I can point them to a government website.

My wife is @ 32 weeks. Our due date is 12/25. We watched the 3-D ultrasound yesterday. It’s awesome. I saw my beautiful little girl suck her fingers, laugh, make a funny face. For those who think it’s not alive they are “beyond stupid”.

My God, what has happened to the moral fabric of our nation?

I think that we simply have a huge number of people that are just plain evil to the core. Forget morals; I'm not sure if they even have souls.

I think that Barack is all the things we know, but more than anything he is evil.

I am sickened. I weep for these babies.
I had twin grandsons who were born at 22 weeks.
They lived a short time but touched us all deeply.
The nurses were fantastic. They wrapped them in tiny blue blankets.
We held then and loved them. When they passed they had smiles on their lips.
In my heart I can not imagine the evil it takes to let these babies die without any love.

[svcw]

Congratulations papa.

[wagglebee]

I am so sorry about your grandsons.

I had a cousin who would be twenty five next week. He was 21 weeks along when he was born and lived four days. He died in my aunt and uncle’s arms, they have said that they would trade those few precious days for everything in the world.

It’s pure evil. This video should be sent to Rush, Hannity, to pastors, to Fox....to whomever.....

.....ASAP!

[svcw]

I understand.

Those 3-D ultrasounds are AMAZING and that is why the abortionists are totally opposed to them.

IL Senate Bill 1093 and 1094 (the Induced Birth Infant Liability ACt)

“IL Senate Bill 1093 and 1094

(the Induced Birth Infant Liability ACt)”

Thank YOU!

I really apprecaite that.

There appears to also be ANOTHER one - Senate Bill 1082 that he has also mischaracterized. I’m looking into that one now.

So it seems he voted it down twice in the Illiniois Senate and also in D.C.. Is that correct? I’m trying to put it all together will Bill numbers that others can LOOK UP and see for themselves.

Hitler is looking up in amazement and admiration at what we are doing to our unwanted children.

What makes me go ballistic is the wording, “failed abortion.” This is not a “failed abortion!” What they do is induce labor, cause the baby to pass out of the birth canal and into a bucket where it is allowed to die. They have devised a way to incorporate into the abortion procedure a technique that induces labor.

The mother has no idea that this technique is performed because she is either anesthetized or has no way to see what is happening. This is quick, easy, less risky than dismantling a 22 week old baby inside the uterus and it might even facilitate the harvesting of human organs. Also, the person performing the procedure does not have to be a skilled surgeon.

All they have to do is under the guise of an abortion procedure cause the uterus to induce labor and say that somehow by some fluke of nature the procedure caused the baby to come out. Once out of the womb, the baby is taken to die out of the room before the mother knows what is going on.

They know what they are doing. Failed abortion, my foot! They are killing babies in an assembly line manner.

The Obamonster knows what they are doing.

Congratulations, proud daddy. I have a video of my daughter waving like Queen Elizabeth.
