Obama Talks About Killing Children of Failed Late Term Abortions

No one can say I am being biased since I am just copy and pasting HIS words.

When the Illinois version of the Born Alive Infant act first came to the Illinois Senate floor in 2001, Obama spoke against it, after engaging in a colloquy with its sponsor, Sen. Patrick O'Malley.

"I do want to just make sure everybody in the Senate knows what this bill is about, as I understand it," Obama said. "Senator O'Malley, the testimony during the committee indicated that one of the key concerns was -- is that there was a method of abortion, where the -- the fetus or child, as -- as some might describe it, is still temporarily alive outside the womb. And one of the concerns that came out in the testimony was the fact they were not being properly cared for during this brief period of time that they were still living. Is that correct?"

Obama went on to question whether the law would pass constitutional muster if the "child ... temporarily alive outside the womb" was called a "person."

"Number one, whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a--a child, a nine-month-old child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place."

"As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child -- however way you want to describe it -- is now outside the mother's womb and the doctor continues to think that it's nonviable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved."

Obama voting record on this issue is "present" and 2 "no's"
