Palin Reminds America of Obama’s Lies About His Support of Infanticide

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.

All those non-votes, "present", abstentions, and this is the issue he chooses to actually take a stand on??!!

Obama stated “what we are doing here is to create one more burden on women, and I won’t support that.”

What a load of Barbra Streisand ... look 0bama, those babies unwanted (obviously)? Then incubate until mature enough to be taken home and let them go to people who will love and care for them, adoption, no burden to the birth mother whatever. You don't leave a living infant, regardless how old he is, on a counter to die, for God's sake.

This country is sick, to even consider this kind of mindset as its leader.

I you have a heart, a soul, a love for your fellow human beings, a desire to improve the world and spread freedom and peace...there is NO WAY you can VOTE FOR OBAMA.

He would make partial birth abortion, live birth infanticide and human cloning legal ( pushed wrong button my ass ).

He is a MONSTER.

And without empathy...almost as if he were manufactured for this run....

This man, this ACORN devotee, is an unknown who is only known very shallowly via his assoications because NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO DO AN EXPOSE on the extent of his relationships and apparently this man HAS NO TANGIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

And this man who rates the worth of infants as ZERO and has ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING EXCEPT WINNING A FEW ELECTIONS, wants to be our PRESIDENT!

What has Obama accompished in his (known)past that tells us he is capable of running this nation? WHAT NOTHING!!!!

It is said that Poker players have a "tell," an involuntary tic of sorts that indicate when they're bluffing. I maintain Obama has one that indicates when he's lying like a rug. Lying like we've never seen before. Lying that'll scare the womenfolk and curl your hair:

"I have said repeatedly ...."

Obama is a DISGUSTING, EVIL INDIVIDUAL.

I pray more and more Americans’ eyes will be opened to the wicked monster that he truly is.

I actually know a few once undecided women who were leaning our way because of Sarah that are now in our camp when I filled them in on Obama’s stance on this.

Anyone who deserts Sarah this election is culpable for the innocent babies who will die if Obama takes the Presidency.

America may elect a man to serve the highest office who is so cruel and callous as to vote three times to let babies intended to be killed by abortion, but somehow survive, die by neglect anyway.

Maybe that vague idea we been feeling over the years that eventually America would be judged for killing 40 million unborn children is about to come true.

Most people grown to accept the massive killing of the unborn babies will vote for this Marxist, anti-American, Chicago-corrupt politician who in all likelihood will lead our nation into a depression, nuclear war and utter destruction on a Biblical scale.

Obama has the personality of a Hitler, but none of the accomplishments of Hitler. Hitler did repair and rebuild the infrastructure of Germany. He did lift Germany out of a national depression. In the beginning of his career he had many accomplishments which were of enormous benefit to the German people. It was only after he had done much good for his people that he was found to be psychotic. This pompous, posturing, psychotic buffoon (Obama) has done nothing. Calling him an empty suit does not begin to describe his total lack of worth to this country, and does not even mention that he is evil, pure, undefiled evil.
