Michele Obama, wife of Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama, sent out a fund-raising letter stating that she was alarmed "right-wing politicians" passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls (PB abortion).

EDITED BLOG: According to the Saddleback Debate - Obama doesn't "know" when a baby should be given rights as a human. In Chicago, Illinois there was a great debate over this when Obama was an Illinois Senator - at different points he chaired the committee.

******************

In February 2004, US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

Michelle called partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and wouldn't supporters please pay $150 to attend a luncheon for her husband, who would fight against "cynical ploy[s]" to stop it?

I know his reasoning, because I was there. As a nurse at an Illinois hospital in 1999, I discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms. I discovered infanticide.

BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted. BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the House.

NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights. In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion clinics.

(As chair of that same committee, Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before Scott and Janet Willis, the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses for bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life license plate legislation. I was there for that one, too. The Willises had traveled three hours. Reporters filled the room. Obama stalled. He later killed the bill when no one was around.)

Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I testified in 2001 and 2002 before a committee of which Obama was a member. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed. Alan Keyes said Jesus Christ wouldn't vote for Barack Obama was because of Obama's fanatical support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide.

A Chicago Sun-Times cartoon published during the campaign shows Obama holding a "LIVE BIRTH ABORTION" sign. God is reaching down from heaven to a baby in front of Obama, and the baby is reaching up to God. Obama is yelling at God, "You keep out of this!"

*****

Obama later insinuated opposition to abortion is based only on religion, lecturing pro-lifersto "explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all." I don't recall mentioning religion when I testified against live-birth abortion. I only recall describing a live aborted baby I held in a hospital soiled utility room until he died, and a live aborted baby who was accidentally thrown into the trash. Neither do I recall religion being brought into the partial-birth abortion ban debate. I recall comparisons made to U.S. laws ensuring animals being killed are treated humanely. I recall testimony that late-term babies feel excruciating pain while being aborted.

Obama stated pro-life proposals must be "amenable to reason."

At Norte Dame, Obama said he wants people to sit down and reasonably discuss Abortion. How do you “reasonably” talk about killing babies?

The First Thug is a cold-hearted bastard and any Catholic who votes for & supports this despicable piece of excrement is a CINO.

Candidate Obama hid well the frightening details of he and his wife's radical pro-abort activities in Illinois.

Now he's talking reason?

Everything Obama says comes with an expiration date.

Translation: Obama wants pro-lifers to set their beliefs aside for the sake of his agenda.

Both Obamas’ are murdering thugs.

How do these two look at their own children?

“How do these two look at their own children?”

I’ve wondered that myself.

[AliVeritas]

Amen

[Liz]

How do these two look at their own children?

Let's hope and pray there were no other children discarded before they "allowed" these two to be born.

[Liz]

You got that right.

"We haf ways to deal with people who do not listen to reason."

Let's hope and pray there were no other children discarded before they "allowed" these two to be born.

We can hope that for the children's sake, but it is highly unlikely. I would be shocked if the Obamas had never committed a personal abortion. The most vocal supporters are usually in denial about their past deeds and need to justify their own actions, and BHO is one of the most vocal abortion supporters around.

[eccentric]

So what would Obama and the pro-abortion group be willing to compromise on?

[Theodore R.]

The American people didn’t know this, can’t learn this, and wouldn’t remember it if they could learn it. They just look for “show biz” talent.

[Deo volente]

Bump.
