Obama and the Born-Alive Act
—
Six years ago, Congress passed the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act," making it illegal to kill a child who is fully born during an attempted abortion. The bill passed without a single opposing vote in either house, and was signed into law by President Bush on August 5, 2002. When he was a state senator at that same time, Barack Obama opposed a state version of the bill in Illinois. His ...

Ken Connor: Warning: Obamacare May Be Hazardous to the Unborn
TownHall Latest columns — ... What's going on here? Either President Obama has experienced an epiphany regarding the sanctity of human life at every stage of development, or once again his Administration is attempting to pull the wool over the American people's eyes with a rhetorical bait and switch. A review of the facts may provide insight as to which is the case. Let's take a look at Barack Obama's record to-date with regard to abortion policy. As a state senator, Barack Obama twice voted against a bill that would require physicians to provide emergency medical care to infants who survive attempted ...

Obama Voted Down Bill To Protect Live-born Survivors Of Abortion — Hyscience
Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide." Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the ...
Alan Colmes needs some help clearing up his misunderstanding on Barack Obama's support of infanticide — RedState: Conservative News and Community
There is a reason we call Obama "Pinocchiobama" Barack Obama supports infanticide. This is not subject to debate and is an accurate reflection of Obama's voting record in the Illinois legislature.

Rick Warren, Obama and the Born-Alive Act — The Corner on National Review Online
As Yuval Levin noted yesterday, Obama's claim --- that he voted against the Illinois state version (S. B. 1082) of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act ('BAIPA') because it didn't have the 'neutrality clause' contained in the federal version --- has been shown false. The state version did, in fact, contain the same neutrality language as the federal Act that not one U.S.senator voted against. ...
Obama lies about his record on infanticide — BatesLine
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, when he is crowned in two weeks as the Democratic presidential nominee, will be distinguished as the first major party nominee to oppose restrictions on infanticide.

Re: Obama, Democrats, Abortion, and the Relentless Kmiec — The Corner on National Review Online
Jack, if Prof. Kmiec actually believed that 'Roe is not an endorsement of abortion,' that would indeed make Obama a 'different type of candidate' in the sense of being, you know, more stupid than the average candidate. Of course, he is not an idiot, so I guess the question -- especially given what we now know about the adamance of Obama's opposition to Illinois' version of the Born-Alive Act ...
Obama and the Born-Alive Act — The Corner on National Review Online
As I mentioned several weeks ago, veteran politicos in Ohio told me that focus groups show Obama's vote on the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act is a sleeper issue. Hardly anyone knows about it but when informed the nearly universal reaction is revulsion -- even from pro-choicers. The issue is radioactive for Obama, but political mavens assert that raising the issue is somewhat dicey -- the ...
