You would think Barack Obama of all people would be up for allowing things to gestate a good long while before ultimately deciding whether they should be allowed to come into being.
This is a man, after all, who during his tenure in the Illinois State Senate was a staunch enough defender of the Peter Singer-wing of the pro-choice movement to prefer allowing infants that somehow survived the tribulation of "induced labor abortions" with beating hearts to die in soiled utility closets (the hospital unsurprisingly preferred the euphemism "comfort rooms") rather than risk voting for a bill that might define what he nonsensically (or dishonestly) deemed "pre-viable" fetuses -- what living child isn't "pre-viable" if you lock it in a grimy closet long enough? -- as "persons" entitled to Constitutional protections.
"The equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child," Obama reasoned during a 2001 speech in opposition to an Illinois "born alive" bill, "and if this is a child then this would be an anti-abortion statute."
See how complicated things can get when one delves into the minutiae of a bill?

Minutiae is the defining term for this bozo.
Peter Singer is a war criminal in the war on children.
He and Zeke Emanuel are two sick dudes!
Abortion = murder, genocide (most abortions are given to minorities)
Obummer is the Dr. Kevorkian of the unborn.
That's being generous!
It reminds me of an episode of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN (the Sam Kinison episode) where Bundy says to Kinison (a spirit who wants to get his wings so he can become an angel): “Well, this was nice. What’s next? We go back in time to the day before I was conceived and my father invents the condom.” Too bad Obummer’;s dad didn’t use one.
This is reminiscent of the 'definition of is' remarks...
It's analysis in reverse: We don't want an anti abortion statute.
Calling the preborn who survives abortion 'child' would endanger that.
Therefore, we can't call these fetuses who survive abortion outside the womb 'children'. Even if the evidence screams otherwise.
