Obama denies protection for infants of botched abortions [Jill Stanek rebuts Obama obfuscations]

"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 Infant Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed he would not want his daughters to be 'punished with a baby' because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life."

CAn someone please tell me how you kill an infant who survived an abortion? Do the doctors do it? The nurse? Do they dump the baby in the garbage not recognizing that it’s still alive? Do they with hold food and water and oxygen and warmth? I’m serious on this....I want to know.

[AliVeritas]

ETL, thanks for posting. Will dig for his words in the Illinois floor I had, will post.

[cookcounty]

Obama is such a liar on this. But the MainStreamMedia loves lies -—especially on this subject.

[AliVeritas]

Here you go:

All of the above. Living babies have been left to starve and dehydrate to death in a back room of the hospital. Alternatively, they have been dumped head first into a bucket of water. Sometimes the doctor will suffocate the baby. This is done in American hospitals.

Obama is an extremist on this issue. He’d better be, or Mean Michelle, an officer of Planned Parenthood, will clobber him.

[PhilDragoo]

Obama is a lying baby-killer.

[massgopguy]

The baby is allowed to die from medical neglect. The doctor is then required to submit both Birth and Death Certificates.

[cookcounty]

Since it isn't polite to use his given middle name, we should give him a new one:

Senator Barack Killthebabies Obama.

[MrB]

And “pro choice” people will defend

KILLING BORN BABIES, ie INFANTICIDE

in order to protect their ability to have the “right” to consequence-free sexual behavior.

You can easily get most feminists to admit that they feel that abortion is the great “equalizer” since women are the ones that get pregnant.

[AliVeritas]

FYI, Nat Hentoff (now retired from the Village Voice), is a friend of mine; We agree few issues, but we agree on pro-life issues.

"He voted against it. He was the sole senator speaking against it on the [Illinois] senate floor [for] two years. And the third year, he held the bill from being considered altogether in committee and killed the bill," Stanek contends.

Obama is beneath contempt and unfit to hold any public office.

[wagglebee]

Here is a link to a thread on Jill Stanek’s editorial.

[PhilDragoo]

The guy's a monster.

He is immersed in the Mansonesque Muslim cult.

He campaigned for his first cousin Odinga who signed the memo of agreement vis-a-vis instituting Shariah law in Kenya.

Islamobama began his career in the living room of Bernie Dohrn who praised the Manson family.

Thus family values to Obama are Manson family values.

[potlatch]

They put it in a room and leave it to die. I have read heartbreaking stories of nurses who went into a closet and held the baby till it died - just to give it some comfort.

The nurses did not want to lose their jobs by openly objecting to the practice.

We would say, walk out and find another place to work, God is watching!!!

[potlatch]

Bump!

[PhilDragoo]

From Obamanson, hope and change means slaughter the babies.

[potlatch]

Yes, I am well aware of that.

[floriduh voter]

But Obama can recite the dec of independence. We are endowed by our Creator, etc. blah, blah, blah... life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Was he simply BAMBOOZLING THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES?

Barack Obama is qualified to do voiceovers for ketchup, laundry detergents, pet food. He's NOT qualified to be POTUS. He's devious under all that fluff.
