Barack Obama's Sole Article in Harvard Law Review Promotes Abortion

Obama can throw anything under the bus including his own work.

[keepitreal]

He also decried any limits on abortion, saying the government has an interest in "preventing increasing numbers of children from being born in to lives of pain and despair."

What by killing them????

Oftentimes the handicapped have moments of pain and despair. The mentally ill live lives of pain and despair. The poor sometimes live lives of pain and despair. Should we kill all of them?

This is the most evil, self-serving argument for murder I have ever heard.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Indeed. Anyone this obsessed with abortion has to have a very evil mind.

Very evil.

I found the article in question on microfilm.

The full title is:

Tort Law -- Prenatal Injuries -- Supreme Court of Illinois Refuses to Recognize Cause of Action Brought by Fetus Against Its Mother for Unintentional Infliction of Prenatal Injuries. -- Stallman v. Younquist 125 Ill. 2d 267, 531 N.E. 2d 355 (1988)

I've printed it out and when I return home I'll scan it and post it if it hasn't been posted already.

Politico said the Obama campaign confirmed the pro-abortion presidential candidate wrote the piece in question.

Thanks!

What a ghoul. His soul is in peril.

[wagglebee]

Any soul he might have is an embodiment of evil.

I'm wondering what you mean by an "extremely devout" Catholic. That's just the demographic (together with "extremely devout" Evangelicals) that almost invariably --- OK, obamanates Obama.

[CitizenM]

Let’s see...he formed an opinion on this subject - when - while in law school. Ok...but at the Saddleback Q & A session he said that deciding when life begins was/is “not in his pay-grade.” So what pay-grade was he in while at Harvard law school? What a blithering bafoon this Barack character is.

Penetrating Insights into the Obvious

[the anti-liberal]

The closing paragraph:

Without the benefit of a clear constitutional pronouncement on these issues, the Stallman court rightly concluded that, at least in cases arising out of maternal negligence, women's interests in autonomy and privacy outweigh the dubious policy benefits of fetal-maternal tort suits. However, the more difficult cases -- those involving maternal activities that might be considered intentional or reckless infliction of prenatal injuries on the fetus -- remain to be decided. As these cases arise, states should avoid adopting constitutionally dubious laws in pursuit of ill-conceived strategies to promote fetal health. Expanded access to prenatal education and health care facilities will far more likely serve the very real state interest in preventing increasing numbers of children from being born into lives of pain and despair.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Bingo.

[the anti-liberal]

"... access to prenatal education and health care facilities..."

I assume this is an euphemism for 'Planned Parenthood' just as "economic justice" is an euphemism for 'income redistribution.

The last sentence before the closing sentence states:

On the other hand, the state may also have a more compelling interest in ensuring that fetuses carried to term do not suffer from debilitating injuries than it does in ensuring that any particular fetus is born.

[Neoliberalnot]

A single stinking article and he becomes president of law review?? More evidence of what an empty, over-stated, piece of sniveling liberal, clap-trap, this homophilic nobody really is.

[the anti-liberal]

Oops, I meant "... before the closing paragraph states...

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

I agree with you but there will be plenty. It’s just like Eve listening to the snake in the Garden of Eden.
