Barack, the Abortion President

Since today is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (and also my birthday - a tragic coincidence) let's review Obama's position on abortion (but first, watch this fascinating video showing a little of Barack's position):
  • he promises the first thing he'll do as president is to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would disallow states from putting ANY restrictions whatsoever on abortion, including parental consent for minors and waiting periods. The FOCA should be entitled "Absolutely No Choices for States in Drafting their Own Abortion Laws Act".
  • he wants his universal health care plan to include taxpayer funded abortions
  • he supports partial birth abortion
  • worst of all, as a state legislator, he voted repeatedly against a bill that would require infants who were born alive after botched abortions to be provided with medical care. His excuses? 1. doctors were already required under state law to provide for infants born alive - untrue. 2. the statute didn't contain language protecting Roe v. Wade - outright lie, the statute did contain said language. 3. It's too burdensome to require another doctor to come in to pronounce the child dead, which is what the statute required. Fascinating article here. It's interesting to note that when the exact bill came up for a federal vote, every single senator voted in favor of it, including the super liberal senators Clinton and Kennedy. Actually, even NARAL Pro Choice America did not oppose the bill. Obama is more pro-abortion that NARAL!!!
  • Bush passed a regulation allowing medical workers to refuse to provide information, such as referrals, to patients seeking abortions, if they have a moral objection to abortion. Obama's people are working even as we speak to overturn it.

Do you think the majority of Obama's brain-dead voters knew any of this? Even most pro-choicers are against partial birth abortion. Of course, how are they going to get this information? Do you think NBC news is going to run a story entitled "Obama Voted Repeatedly to Let Living Babies Die After Botched Abortions?" And besides, he's "cool" and good at reading off a teleprompter, so let's ignore every single position he has.
