Newt and the Associated Press utterly ZOT Obama's born-alive abortion record
Just Facts ^ | February 24, 2012 | James D. Agresti

Posted on 02/24/2012 11:23:02 AM PST by NEOhio

In a fact check of Wednesday's Republican presidential debate on CNN, Associated Press reporters Calvin Woodward and Tom Raum take Newt Gingrich to task for stating:

"If we’re going to have a debate about who the extremist is on these issues, it is President Obama, who as a state senator voted to protect doctors who killed babies who survived the abortion."

Citing the above statement in a list of what they call "head-scratching claims," Woodward and Raum challenge it as follows:

"THE FACTS: As an Illinois state senator, Obama voted against legislation promoted by anti-abortion activists that would have conferred protection to fetuses showing any signs of life after an abortion, even if doctors did not believe the fetus was viable. Obama pointed to an existing Illinois law requiring doctors to protect fetuses they believed were likely to survive after an abortion, and said he was concerned the proposed new law was so broad it could interfere with routine abortions. Obama said he would have supported federal legislation President George W. Bush signed in 2002 that would protect a viable fetus but reaffirmed a woman’s right to an abortion."

These assertions miss the truth in three key respects, which are covered in Just Facts' research on abortion in the sections dealing with live births and terminology.

John Stewart ridiculed Newt's statement today. I guess John likes his babies diced and fried too ~ just like Obama.

Darned shame his mother didn't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

These are not facts, this is nonsense. Obama has a history of promoting the slaughter of unborn children.
