Leave it up to Newt Gingrich to call President Obama a baby killer. Newt blasted Barack for his pro-choice history during last nights Republican presidential debate in Arizona.
When asked about Obama's recent decision mandating that employers' insurance plans cover contraception, Newt Gingrich pointed out that Obama voted in favor of a law that protected abortion providers during his term as state senator of Illinois.
As Gingrich put it:
"You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide. If we're going to debate about who is the extremist on this issues, it is President Obama, who, as a state senator, voted to protect doctors who killed babies.

It was an Obama bash at the 26th debate last night in Arizona as expected, but for Newt to say that the President is in favor of legalizing infanticide is just wrong. We doubt that the President is an advocate of killing a human infant.

I couldn't agree more...
It has to make them all nervous and shaky in their knees.
The left doesn’t want discussions of procedures like this to be take place for the same reason they don’t want graphic pictures of aborted babies to be shown in ads. They work. Communicating facts like this helps us win the argument. The left will usually say something like it’s inappropriate or offensive to show these things. But the left is only really offended by one thing, conservatives succeeding.
Newt is no less pro-life than Santorum by their rhetoric and their records. Congrads to him for out-pro-lifing Santorum last night when it comes to making the argument. The fact that it’s being talked about today means he is already succeeding. Just spouting the standard pro-life platitudes doesn’t drive the national debate. We need strong, incendiary rhetoric, images or advertising to bring the issue to the forefront of national discussion. There is far too much complacency with the status quo on abortion on both sides of the aisle.
Thanks. I didn't catch that part when I first read the article....wasn't quite awake yet.
CLARITY is exactly what I think of every time he speaks. He also sees the bigger picture, real issues behind the small ones and adroitly connects the dots. It is so refreshing compared to listening to the others get lost in the weeds as we zone out.
I will see to it that gets into the hands of some Catholics here in New Hampshire...
“Newt is no less pro-life than Santorum by their rhetoric and their records. Congrads to him for out-pro-lifing Santorum last night when it comes to making the argument.”
You are correct. It also shows the stark differences in the candidates in how they approach the subject.
Romney
I am pro-life, always have been. Except that there are statements and actions to the contrary.
Ron Paul
I have delivered thousands of babies as a doctor. I have always been pro-life.
Rick Santorum
No one can deny I am pro-life.
Newt Gingrich
I am pro-life and want to point out that Obama has voted not only for abortion but for the killing of live babies and the media conspires to cover it up.
I hope the writer of this piece gets to hear the speech Obama made on the Illinois senate floor over this issue because he would be shocked over what he had to say.In so many words he basically said that the woman paid for a dead baby and she should get one!If that is not advocating for the dead of infants then I don’t know what is....

“Quit playing word games, America. The opposite of life is NOT choice; it is death.”
Amen!
Needs to be repeated!

Nice job. Rip that lollipop right out of their mouth and shove it right...er...ummm...into the garbage can.
i would like to hear that audio. I bet like many other truths about 0dumbo it got scrubbed. thank goodness the transcript is still available
I know MSm kisses his ass but even the most ardent abortion supporter has to admit what 0dumbo said on the fllor of the Senate about an aborted live baby is evil and sick
He IS consistent in his LYING.
“As a state senator Obama voted against bans on partial birth abortion & consistently refused to support legislation that would have defined an infant who survives a late-term induced-labor abortion as a human being with the right to live. That’s about as close to advocating killing babies as a person can get.”
“Obama’s record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion — a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called “too close to infanticide.” Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed that he would not want his daughters to be “punished with a baby” because of a crisis pregnancy — hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life.”

You doubt that? Words cannot describe the sheer ignorance and/or craven bootlicking of the author of this screed.
[ We doubt that the President is an advocate of killing a human infant. ]
Yeah, don’t ley the facts get in the way.
