Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Michelle Obama, the attorney wife of pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, is coming under fire for a letter she wrote defending partial-birth abortions. The 2004 letter, written to help Obama in his campaign for his U.S. Senate seat, opposes the ban on the abortion procedure.
In February 2004, Michelle Obama penned a fundraising letter to help her husband Barack raise funds for his Illinois-based Senate seat.
The letter contends the federal ban on partial-birth abortions "is clearly unconstitutional" and "a flawed law."
Though the three-day-long partial-birth abortion procedure involves the partial birth of a baby during the middle trimester of pregnancy and the jamming of scissors into the back of her head to kill her, Obama's wife describes it as "legitimate" medicine.
"The fact remains, with no provision to protect the heath of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned," Michelle Obama writes in the letter.
She also said the Bush administration should not encourage the abortion practitioners who sued to reverse the ban to drop their lawsuit to make it unconstitutional. The Supreme Court later sided with Bush and Congress in saying the ban is legitimate.
In closing, Obama told prospective donors that they could "count on" Barack to "keep the Bush team from appointing the Supreme Court justice that will vote against Roe v. Wade."
Noted pro-life advocate Jill Stanek highlighted the letter on her blog and said Michelle was "leeching off the partial birth abortion ban" to raise funds for her husband.
"I'd like to ask Michelle to explain her legal opinion about this law the Supremes went on to declare constitutional," Stanek said.
"I'd like to ask Michelle how in the world she could in good conscience raise money from fear-mongering about this barbaric abortion procedure," she added.
Stanek pointed out that Barack Obama recently issued a warning to "lay off my wife" after she came under fire about an unrelated issue.
Stanek said the request amounted to "Free speech for me but not for thee" -- something she called "a typical left-wing position."
"So it's fine to kill late-term babies, but we can't risk hurting Michelle's feelings about it," she added.

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
Hillary Clinton had her special cause, Health Care in America.
Laura Bush promotes her special cause, Libraries and Reading.
First Lady Michelle Obama will open her own Special Office, Baby Killer Office.
The whole procedure sounds barbaric like something performed by some Nazi doctor in a concentration camp. Just thinking about it makes me sick. How can anyone, any mother, defend such things?
Thanks.
the pba procedure generally takes 2 to 3 days to complete, that’s why it’s a load of hogwash that the politicians put a health-of-the-mother clause in the bills they write. Something is implanted and the cervix dialated overnight. If a mother is in an emergency situation, a simple c-section can be performed and the baby saved. If a mother really was critical from some type of medical illness or injury; she would not wait 2-3 days for a pba procedure, a c-section would be done and her ailment would be immediately treated the same day.
It’s a scam perpetrated by the evil ones out there, like that idiot tim russert on meet the depressed and all the democrat politicians, who constantly state and repeat themselves about having a “health of the mother” clause in the ban on pba legislation. Incidentally, the ban on PBA written by Smith and Santorum and signed by Bush does NOT ban the PBA procedure.
