Obama’s Record on Abortion

Filed under: Abortion

When biblical immorality starts to turn into state or federal law, it is past time to get involved in politics. Thus, I am here to be a voice for the life of the unborn. My voice is here for any and all who will listen, and today’s revealing news is quite shocking.

For 4 years Senator Barack Obama has put forth efforts to cover up his full role in killing legislation to protect born-alive survivors of abortions. However after an interview with CBN where he said three times that National Right to Life was “lying” in asserting that he had voted against a state bill virtually identical to the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, his campaign has admitted Obama “misstated his position.”

In an article on the New York Sun website on the evening of August 17th: “Mr. Obama appeared to misstate his position in the CBN interview on Saturday… [Obama's] campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state senate…”

In the New York Sun article it also makes mention of a 5-minute video on YouTube (Caution: Video is hard to watch) that highlights Mr. Obama’s opposition to the legislation. This clip has been viewed more than 280,000 times and features a testimonial from Jill Stanek, a former nurse who spearheaded the push for the bill in Illinois after witnessing a live infant discarded and left to die at a hospital where she worked. In the Sun article it also mentions the McCain Campain’s criticism of Mr. Obama:

The McCain campaign yesterday added its voice to the criticism of Mr. Obama. “Americans can differ on the issue of abortion, but Senator Obama’s extreme record on this issue and his willingness to misrepresent that record should concern any American who believes that we should be working towards a society where there are fewer abortions, not more,” a spokesman for Senator McCain, Brian Rogers, said.

As controversial as this topic is this issue must have light shed on it. We must be informed on issues such as these, especially when someone’s life is at stake.
