Opposed to late term?? I guess he forgot to tell NOW, or NARAL
Obama said he voted against the late-term abortion ban as a state senator because it contained no exception to protect the life of the mother.
He is a liar!
July 2007
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama criticized recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions as hypocritical and inconsistent on Tuesday, saying a ruling upholding a late-term abortion ban was part of a concerted effort to roll back women’s rights.
Obama said the court’s 5-4 rulings to uphold the late-term abortion ban, make it harder for women to sue over pay discrimination and strike down race-based school assignment programs were part an effort “to steadily roll back the hard-won rights of American women.”
“When the science is inconvenient, when the facts don’t match up with the ideology, they are cast aside,” he said.
Barack Obama “argued cold-bloodedly on the Illinois Senate floor that babies who survive botched late-term abortions should not be considered ‘persons’ because this would be tantamount to admitting ‘that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a — a child, a 9-month old — child that was delivered to term.’ “
