Obama's "lost" law review note revealed
Power Line — ... being born in to lives of pain and despair." Unlike Mondale in his student law review note, Obama already had the liberal lingo and the line line down pat. Obama's law review note also tends to belie Obama's statement to Rick Warren this past Saturday that the question of when the unborn acquire rights is "above [his] pay grade." His law review note suggests that he's been thinking about the issue for a long time and that he's not usually so reticent, as Andrew McCarthy explains in "Why Obama really voted for infanticide." | ...

McCarthy: Obama’s moral failing on infanticide
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... for its failure to follow the precepts of Matthew in “that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”  Andrew McCarthy takes that premise and applies it to Obama’s infamous position on Illinois legislation designed to prevent the deliberate infanticide occuring in hospitals in which live infants were left to die after surviving the abortion process.  Wouldn’t these children qualify as “the least of my brothers”, almost literally? They were coming out alive. Born alive. Babies. Vulnerable human beings Obama, in his detached pomposity, might otherwise ...

Barack Obama Voted for Legal Infanticide
Sound Politics — ... state bill, he voted for it. But then he voted to kill the bill anyway. (Incidentally, Obama argued for years that he only opposed it because it lacked the neutrality clause, and only last month admitted that was false.) There's really no way around it: Obama voted for legal infanticide. Not that he voted for infanticide, but he did vote to keep it legal. When his sole objection -- protecting abortion rights -- was eliminated, he still voted against the bill banning the practice. Why? NRO's Andrew C. McCarthy has our answer. Digging into the debate on the subject, he finds ...

ACORN, Media & the Angry Right
The Anchoress — ... assuage the concerns of the right just a little, just a tad, by acting like real journalists instead of advocates and condemning thuggish electoral behavior, rather than ho-humming it. But perhaps the press is too far gone in their hunger for the November Trifecta: the White House, the Congress, and (quickly) the SCOTUS all in the hands of the left. Not in the hands of normal, rational Democrats, mind you; in the hands of the speech-suppressing, infanticide-supporting, tax-raising, government-growing, no-drilling, no ...

A Good Christian Can't Support Obama
Confederate Yankee — ... ." Even worse than his support for abortion is his shocking opposition to a bill requiring that hospitals provide medical care to infants born alive after failed late-term abortion attempts. This callousness is called by its proper name, infanticide , and certainly a position no Christian can support, flying into the face of all our Biblical teaching to protect the weak and defenseless. I'm not sure if Obama's faith supports the denial of medical care to infants, but as Christians, our's most certainly does not. Yes, you can vote for Barack Obama for President, but if you do ...

Hullabaloo — ... And I'm getting very, very tired of hearing Democrats repeat this crap. From Clinton to Obama and everywhere in between, this issue has been used as a bargaining chip, only to have the other side move the goalposts each time and and continue to demagogue them as advocates of immoral baby killing. (For all his trouble, Obama is routinely referred to as an advocate of "infanticide" among these people.) I'm sorry that people disagree on this. I wish we didn't. But the ball is in the court of the anti-choicers. They refuse to accept the compromise that has been written into law ...

Abortion Bailout; The March For Life; Blogs 4 Life
Reasoned Audacity — ... that have been articulated by the abortion lobby itself. It is the pro-abortion side that tells us that the Hyde Amendment alone has resulted in 300,000 fewer abortions each year than would otherwise be performed--and that is why they so desperately want it to be repealed. Yet the putatively pro-life Obama apologists claim that the man who pledges to repeal it is going to reduce the number of abortions. Let me say it again: this is delusional.

On Thursday, a display of despair and anger wouldn t have shocked me. After all, Barack Obama, who has demonstrated a tolerance for infanticide , is president of the United States. The Speaker of the House is a Catholic who makes up her own theology ...

Re: Stem Cell Wrestling
The Corner on National Review Online — ... ] Obviously, Yuval is right in all the particulars he discusses as I argued during the campaign, in the context of Obama's vote in favor of infanticide while he was an Illinois legislator, issues related to what he called that fetus, or child however way you want to describe it are not high priorities for him. Instead, I want to address the very beginning of the President's answer: "Okay. No, I I think it s a I think it s a legitimate question." Obama does this a lot instinctively, and in response to questions or comments directed to him that contain any hint of ...

Lopez: Opening the Door with Timothy Dolan
Articles on National Review Online — ... at Georgetown University. While speaking there, a usually impossible-to-miss IHS — the Latin monogram for Jesus Christ — was missing from its perch at the center of the auditorium stage. Georgetown is, of course, a Catholic university, and the fact that Jesus Christ is represented prominently in the school s much-used auditorium is no surprise. And it wouldn t come as a shock if someone from the school — perhaps aware that a defender of infanticide was coming to speak — attempted to remove any sense that Jesus might be endorsing the president (or his Sermon on the ...

President Infanticide Lies At Notre Dame
Slublog — ... Obama mouthed some pretty words at Notre Dame, but his record puts the lie to his rhetoric. Do not be fooled. Obama supported infanticide, and his speech today was an attempt to deny his extremism on this issue. Nothing in his legislative record suggests otherwise, despite what the laziness of the media would have you believe. ...

Ross Douthat Depicts Palin as a Conservative Feminist Martyr
Firedoglake — ... What Sarah Palin has been through is simply unprecedented in American politics. Only Sarah Palin has had her religious beliefs smeared or completely misrepresented. No other politican's background, personal life, or political record has ever been distorted to the degree that Sarah Palin's has. Only Sarah Palin and her family have been subjected to vicious tabloid attacks, the nastiest kind of rumors and speculation and cruel jokes.  Why? Because she's a middle class Christian ...

Palin Was Right on the "Death Panels" -- A Dissent from Today's NRO Editorial -- By: Andy McCarthy
The Corner on National Review Online — ... On the latter, who cares what Obama personally wants? I don't see why we should play into the personality cult that the Left is hoping will overcome the deep substantive flaws in the president's policies. I happen to think that something like death panels is exactly what is desired by Obama -- who is an abortion extremist, who supported a form of infanticide when he was an Illinois state legislator, and who has ...

Could Obama Have Survived Appointment In Another Administration?
Discriminations — ... to ACORN and other radical groups, his work favoring extreme version of race preferences while a state senator and his successful efforts to block protection for young (very young) survivors of botched abortions, even though an identical federal law had passed the Senate unanimously. Indeed, the charge that he enabled infanticide was probably less hyperbolic than the current “death panel” accusations. I’m assuming here that his attempt to lie his way out of that vote would have have been less successful than it was ...
