Governor Palin describes her Downs Syndrome baby, Trig, as “absolutely perfect.”
“Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed-up world you live in down there on Earth. Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome," Palin wrote in an email to her family and close friends.
A Registered Nurse at Christ Hospital, Jill Stanek discovered that babies who survived abortions and were born alive were not given any medical care and were “shelved to die in the soiled utility room.” Babies were left to die on metal counters or accidentally thrown in the trash. Stanek testified about these horrors before the Illinois State Senate of which Obama was a member.
Obama was the sole opponent to speak out on the State Senate floor against legislation designed to protect viable, living babies who survive late-term abortions; adamantly opposing any medical care to these babies in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Obama stated “what we are doing here is to create one more burden on women, and I won’t support that.”
The United States Senate unanimously passed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA) in 2002 before Obama was in the Senate. Asked by CBN reporter David Brody if he would have supported BAIPA had he been in the US Senate at the time, Obama bristled “I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported.”
When pressured about his opposition to a similar bill in the Illinois Senate, Obama replied “that was not the bill that was presented at the state level. What the bill was also doing was trying to undermine Roe v. Wade.” That is simply not true.
In August of this year, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) released three documents that “proved that on March 13, 2003, Obama, as chairman of the Illinois Senate Health and Human Services Committee, actually presided over a committee meeting at which the original state Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (SB 1082) was revised to make it virtually identical to the federal law – including the addition of exactly the same ‘neutrality clause’.”
NRLC cites FactCheck.org’s assertion that "Obama’s claim is wrong. In fact, by the time the HHS Committee voted on the bill, it did contain language identical to the federal act…The documents from the NRLC support the group’s claims that Obama is misrepresenting the contents of SB 1082." Obama swiftly killed the bill in committee by a 6 to 4 vote.
Praised by the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) for his 13 pro-abortion votes, even by pro-choice standards, Obama takes the disrespect for human life to boundaries seldom seen. NARAL Executive Vice President Mary Jane Gallagher said of BAIPA, “We, in fact, did not oppose this bill. There is a clear legal difference now between a fetus in utero versus a child that’s born. And when a child is born, they deserve every protection that this country can provide them.”
Even NARAL was neutral. Pro-aborts agreed to let BAIPA pass without a fight lest they appear extreme, except Obama. He decided to battle alone further left than any senator – Boxer, Clinton, Kennedy, Kerry, et al. This is one skeleton in his utility closet that should frighten all Americans.

I believe this should be bumped all day...I wish there were a way to put it on a bumper sticker...people need to know that he VOTED to allow babies to DIE!

I care. God cares. He will not be mocked (or replaced by any self-worshiping leader).
I like this article because it names the YEARS (2001,2002 2003) in the Illinois Senate that this boob voted to allow little lives just born to lay on slabs and be ignored until THEIR DEATHS forced the hospital or abortion clinic staffs to throw them in the trash.
OBAMA MAKES ME SICK!
I DO BELIEVE this man is a pathological narcissist-without empathy!!! Who could POSSIBLY vote to allow a baby crying out for warmth, touch, food and love to lay on a cold slab and die from lack of ANY ATTENTION!
What human being could VOTE FOR THIS HORROR??????
WHO??
I not only would not WANT to EVER BE AROUND SOMEONE WITH WARPED AND HORRIFIC SENSE OF MURDER FOR MOM...BUT I COULD NOT STAND FOR SOMEONE WITH THIS HUGE HOLE WHERE HIS HEART SHOULD BE TO STAND AS OUR PRESIDENT!!!
This man is a horror.
HORROR!
I care and you do- but most Americans don’t care.
Hammer it home Sarah.

Check out Jill’s latest articles. Obama has an “evangelical” shill out telling lies about his abortionist record.
0bama supporters’ logic (per my experience):
Given: I support 0bama.
Given: Infanticide is abhorrent, and I wouldn’t support anyone who supports infanticide.
Conclusion: 0bama doesn’t support infanticide.
See my tagline ...
I have a pretty basic question about 0bama’s excuse:
How could a STATE level bill “undermine” a USSC ruling?
What is not told to we the people is that when Obama was working so hard to protect this method of killing alive children by forced premature birth and neglect until they struggle and die, unattended, alone ... that was becoming a popular way to temrinate these children so that they would be more pristine sources for fetal tissue harvesting and the risk to the pregnant female was reduced by not having to kill the alive child in utero. THAT truth is carefully avoided by your freindly socialist/commie media.
