Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a Sunday interview, pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama defended his opposition to a ban on partial-birth abortions. Though he wasn't in Congress at the time it voted on the ban, he said he would have supported it had it contained a health exception.

However, doctors and medical groups readily acknowledge that the three-day-long abortion procedure -- involving the killing of an unborn baby halfway through the birthing process - never helps women medically.

Obama also claimed pro-life advocates only brought the partial-birth abortion ban forward only to "polarize" the abortion debate.

This is indefensible. Period.

Barack Obama is outside the mainstream on abortion. Most Americans support some limitations on the procedure. Obama doesn't.

Shouldn’t the headline actually say “Barack Obama Defends Partial-Birth Abortion” ? Eliminate the double negative, right? They even try to spin headlines.

Obama wins the Primary and loses the General election.

I agree. When they stop using abortion as a method of birth control, at government expense, they can come back and talk to us. It’s still murder, no matter what name you give it. I find it interesting that in some places, if a person kills a pregnant woman, they can be convicted of double murder. Does that not make abortion murder?

Polarize, illuminate, educate, legislate.

No problem unless you are a shill for the murderers at Planned Parenthood.

Yes, Obama is a MONSTER!

Defending partial birth abortion is an OBOMINATION.

Barack Obama Defends Opposition to C-Sections Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

So basically, Obamassein fully supports partial birth abortion, even though it rarely involves the health of the “mother”, because it might affect the main Democrat platform, which is ABORTION ON DEMAND, AT ALL COSTS, IN PERPETUITY.

Got it.

No sh!t!

The double negative made my head spin.

There are a lot of Catholic senior citizens that volunteer at the Saint Vincent De Paul store right down the street from me. They can't wait to vote for Obama so he can “clean out Washington.” When I tell them what they are voting for,including abortion they just stare at me. No fool like an old fool.

Obama is all for killing of babies. He voted against the law in Illinois that would require abortion mills to render medical care to children who survive an abortion.

I hope he repents before he stands before the Lord.

at government expense

RED FLAG!!!

This is at OUR expense. (I know you know that.)

We're required, BY FORCE, to pay for the murder of babies.

[MrB]

I’m pretty sure everyone knows what the

“health exception”

is. If the “mother” will suffer mental health problems, ie, some stress or negative feelings, for giving birth,

this is enough of a “health exception” to perform the infanticide.

It’s a hole big enough to drive a truck through.

Hey, maggief !! Had any fluffs lately?

If B. Hussein Obama doesn’t get the nomination I wonder if his supporters will be BITTER?

[MrB]

I’m betting on blood. I don’t want it, but the Dhimmirats have set this up with their training of their constituents over the past 60 years.

They’re all trained into groupthink victimhood.

It’s still early.
