"Here's A Situation Where Folks Are Lying"
JustOneMinute — Barack Obama defended his opposition to proposed Illinois state laws protecting "born-alive" infants and dismissed his critics as liars: CBN Correspondent David Brody: Real quick, the born alive infant protection act. I gotta tell you that's the one thing I get a lot of emails about and it's just not just from Evangelicals, it about Catholics, Protestants, main – they're trying to understand it because there was some literature put out by the National Right to Life Committee. And they're basically saying they felt like you misrepresented your position on that bill. Obama: ...

Obama Lied, So Babies Could Die?
Riehl World View — ... we've been hearing about? That's no way for an Obamessiah to behave. Tsk. Tsk. The force is not with you, Obawon. You have managed to disgrace yourself without having hardly any political resume at all. What is wrong with this guy? He could have at least waited until he actually accomplished something in life before acting like just another cheap, lying political hack with no integrity. I guess he really is ahead of his time on that front, anyway. See FactCheck and Just One Minute for the Cliff Notes version. Obama is ...

FactCheck.Org: Obama Lied About his Born Alive Votes
Confederate Yankee — FactCheck.Org: Obama Lied About his Born Alive Votes Barack Obama coverup attempt fails : At issue is Obama's opposition to Illinois legislation in 2001, 2002 and 2003 that would have defined any aborted fetus that showed signs of life as a "born alive infant" entitled to legal protection, even if doctors believe it could not survive. Obama opposed the 2001 and 2002 "born alive" bills as backdoor attacks on a woman's legal right to abortion, but he says he would have been "fully in support" of a similar federal bill that President Bush had signed in 2002, because it contained ...

It All Depends on What the Term "Viable" Means in This Context
Little Miss Attila — ... the Term "Viable" Means in This Context But given the type of care now available for preemies, I'm skeptical about how the determination was made that the "pre-viable," but delivered fetuses, had no chance of survival outside the womb. Some versions of the story say "little chance of survival"; others use the phrase "no chance of survival." There is a difference, and it is at the heart of whether we can call what was going on in Chicago "infanticide." In any event, factcheck.org concedes that Obama's been lying about the Illinois bill.

Confederate Yankee — ... to terminate their pregnancies, the delivery of Trig Palin and the joy he obviously brings to his family re-opens those old wounds. Bristol Palin's pregnancy is even worse for liberal Democrats who view abortion as little more than a post-coital "easy button," and the baby is precisely the kind of pregnancy that Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama advocates killing. Barack Obama is a man who voted to refuse medical care for babies that survive abortions, and then unashamedly lied about it . Obama was also quite blunt about the fact that if his daughters got pregnant ...

Vote For Obama, Kill A Baby
Wizbang — ... -- I'm "squishily" pro-choice, on a purely pragmatic basis -- but I gotta say that the positions evinced by the two Democratic nominees turn my stomach. While in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama was faced with a bill that would have required that infants born after unsuccessful abortions be given medical treatment, instead of simply abandoned to slowly die alone and unattended. He not only voted against it, but worked hard to defeat it. Obama has offered several remarkable different explanations for why he acted thus. And now Joe Biden, self-proclaimed devout Catholic, ...

Scott Swenson: Abstinence-Only Multimillionaire Funds 527 Attack on Abortion Issue
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — ... For Kindergartners, that meant teaching kids "good touch, bad touch" lessons to protect them from pedophiles and predators. The abstinence-only-until-marriage crowd pushed the McCain campaign one step too far, even for Karl Rove. Now one of abstinence-only's chief profiteers, Raymond Ruddy, a wealthy multimillionaire, is going to be the primary funder of an independent advertising campaign that will attack Obama on the also discredited, by FactCheck.org, claims that he supports infanticide. Social conservatives -- emboldened by ...

NRLC: We’re still waiting for Obama to apologize
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... they were correct: Fact Check has a lengthy rundown of this issue from last month, which the NRLC quotes in this ad. While Fact Check thinks “infanticide” is a questionable term, they clearly state that Obama got this argument wrong, and that the NRLC was right in pointing out that the bill had the same neutrality clause as BAIPA: The statement was still on Obama’s Web site as of this writing, Aug. 25, long after Obama had accused his detractors of “lying.” But Obama’s claim is wrong. In fact, by the time the HHS Committee voted on the bill, it did contain language identical ...

NRLC still waiting for Obama to apologize
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... they were correct.  Fact Check confirmed this in August. Barack Obama owes the NRLC an apology for calling them liars, and he owes the American people an explanation of why he really opposed this bill.  It would have prevented no abortions, but would have required doctors to provide normal care for infants born alive after surviving an abortion.  Obama pretends that existing law already required this, but he knows that’s a lie as well.  The Attorney General told the legislature that the law didn’t prevent this from happening, and that the legislature needed to make the law ...

TPM Election Central — ... by critics as a sneak attack on Roe v. Wade. To our ears, this is a more despicable smear than just about anything we've seen, worse than Ayers or anything else.

Emily Douglas: McCain Repeats Debunked 'Born Alive' Attacks in Debate

But, points out the non-partisan, independent FactCheck.org, since state, not federal law, governs the actual practice of abortion care, even with the stipulation that the bill does not provide protections to "any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being born alive as defined in this Section," the bill could still have been used to interfere with abortion provisions. A 2003 Planned Parenthood fact sheet explained: ...
