Barack Obama, presidential candidateWashington DC, Feb 16, 2008 / 05:35 am (CNA).- A pro-life nurse is seconding a statement made by Alan Keyes that Jesus Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, pointing to his support for infanticide.
Jill Stanek is a nurse who discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms while working at a hospital in Illinois and since has been a strong advocate against partial-birth and live-birth abortions.
According to her commentary on WorldNetDaily.com, Stanek explains why Keyes made his statement.
At the federal level, legislation was presented called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) which stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.
BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote and by an overwhelming majority in the House. President Bush signed the bill into law in 2002.
Stanek wrote that, “in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left.”
“Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights. Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed.”
“So, the reason Keyes said Jesus Christ wouldn't vote for Barack Obama was because of Obama's fanatical support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide.”
...
Yet, Stanek pointed out that religion was never part of the abortion ban debate. “I recall comparisons made to U.S. laws ensuring animals being killed are treated humanely. I recall testimony that late-term babies feel excruciating pain while being aborted.”

Jesus Christ was/is not an American citizen so couldn't vote for Obama anyway, right? /rimshot
Sign of the Times, my FRiend.
This should be pounded out from now until the election.
I will continue to keep it alive locally.
Yes, all that is true, but the American people think just the opposite. They are a badly confused out there.
Yes, we could pound this out (I don’t know who would, not McPain), but it wouldn’t matter to the American people who are buying the Obama Elixir at full strength.
This is one of the strongest reasons that Obama must NOT be elected.
Not sure in what context you state this, but I'm not aware of McCain supporters being "lambasted" for supporting him. Quite the opposite is true. It's folks like myself who don't support him who are being "lambasted" by his supporters.
I've written on many threads of my disfavor for McCain. I've yet to see his supporters taken to task for their choice. What's been tasked is McCain's positions. Yet, when one like myself states we won't vote for him (as I have) we're called every name in the book.
I guess it's all in one's perspective.
“Live Birth Abortion” is a medical term. It has a legal term as well. It’s called “Murder.”
Obama’s support for this barbaric practice is a revealing insight into his character, or lack thereof.
We absolutely must support McCain to keep the insane Obama out. I was very disappointed McCain was our nominee, but now it's about saving the country.
There is the third flavor of anti-McCainite - the ones who say we need a thing like Obama to cleanse our palette as it were, show the country how bad things are, then a true conservative will come forth. They may be right. I'm not willing to let babies die in a closet just to get there though.
Cheers
Many do not know this but Jesus was actually Irish:
He lived at home till he was thirty...
He never had a steady job...
And he never got married!
When the Born Alive Infant Protection Act language was approved by the U.S. Senate 98-0, even Kennedy, Boxer, and Feinstein voted yes. Can you believe that B. Hussein Obama is even more radically leftist than those three?

I can tell you what the reaction would be.
You would never get most libs to admit that they support infanticide - but you’d never get them to condemn his position on this. Truth is all relative to them.
Besides, most of them are pro-aborts that see ANY restrictions on abortion as leading to an all out ban.
Yep, you proved my point. Thanks!
