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.

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.

Thats about as close to advocating killing babies as a person can get.

Exactly plus he voted for a bill that would exempt docs who did not help born alive babies during an abortion. he said a doc didn’t need the ‘ distraction” so born alive babies were alllowed to die

[Cincinatus' Wife]

And the fact that the author felt it necessary to “abort” the last part of Newt’s point...”who survived the abortion,” says the cover-up has to be continued.

It hurts Obama and the Dems when “social issues” like murder are highlighted.

Obama is going to have to explain his two state senate votes that promote deaths of live babies who somehow survive an abortion.

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....

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.”
