Extreme: Obama Says He's "Pro-Choice" on Late Term Abortion
Townhall ^ | August 23, 2012 | Guy Benson

Posted on 08/23/2012 6:19:19 PM PDT by cruise_missile

Asked specifically if he supports "late term" -- second and third trimester -- abortions, Obama affirms that he is "pro-choice." In other words, yes, if a woman decides to end the life of her child in the ninth month of pregnancy, that should be her "choice." He has also voted against bans on a horrifyingly grisly procedure known as "partial birth abortion." These positions put Obama significantly out of step with prevailing opinion. When he was running for president in 2008, Obama told a Planned Parenthood audience that one of his first acts in office would be to sign the extreme "Freedom of Choice Act," which would invalidate the federal partial birth abortion ban, eliminate parental notification laws, and likely lead to public financing of abortion. This Obama-backed piece of legislation seeks to wipe out most, if not all, of the common-sense restrictions on abortion favored by most Americans. Obama's most stunning abortion-related stance, however, was his repeated opposition to the Illinois "Born Alive Infant Protection Act."

If Democrats are really the ones to compromise, like 0 says, why doesn't he try to find middle ground by getting rid of this?

(Fun fact for DUmmie readers: if you got behind banning 3rd trimester abortions, rather than fall down a slippery slope, you'd actually take the wind out of the sails of the pro-life movement as many sheeple would be convinced that that was the "best" compromise they're ever going to see.)

Pro-choice on late-term abortion = Pro late-term abortion.

Third trimester? That’s nothing. Obama is “pro-choice” even in the fourth trimester!

Obama is pro kill the baby on the changing table - in case the abortion was botched.

The man is sick. Yet his views are mainstream.

The media is corrupt.

Of course he supports late term abortions. And while he was a state senator, he voted three times to block a ban on killing babies after they are born.

And the hospital that was owned by his Chicago “church” threw several born-alive babies out on the roof to die in the hot sun.

Obama never saw a baby he didn’t want to kill.

This is far worse than Akin’s statements.

Can’t get more “extreme” than murdering babies.

It is my understanding that the person who originally came up with ‘partial’ birth abortion was APPLAUDED openly when he finished his presentation.

As a nation, we cannot butcher people and survive. This is butchering like Sweeney Todd.

Apparently, the doctor in the video starts chopping up the baby. I didn’t get that far.

But THIS should be shown to every person in America.

he is pro-abortion. We should never let the media or the dems try to soften the killing of innocent babies by calling it Pro-choice!

If you view abortion should be legal because it’s up to woman to decide what to do with her own body, this is the only coherent position. As long as the baby (fetus for them) is still attached to the mother’s body, ‘it’ is still part of her body and she’s allowed to do anything she wants. Even after 9 months.

Obama’s point of view is the same as Satan’s point of view on the subject.

A baby’s DNA is different from its mother. Therefore a different human being. QED

That audio/video of 0bama was posted before the 2008 election and the Rats didn’t care! So, why is it such BIG news today?
